You put words in my mouth, that's a dishonest way of arguing :)
I never once said all foreign nurses or bad, nor did I say I dislike them. I pointed out widespread, institutional level fraud that puts patients at risk, exclusively by foreign NHS staff.
It's worrying you can't respond to the argument without strawmans. Is patient safety a concern for you or does politics trump it?
- foldr 6mo agoYou know that the NHS crucially depends on immigrant doctors and nurses and that their contribution is overwhelmingly positive. Your original comment was a completely transparent attempt to derail the discussion with a single cherry picked example.

- 0xy 6mo agoForeign NHS workers can be 'overwhelmingly' competent AND still drag down standards on average due to widespread fraud. You seem to be avoiding any questioning of specific groups engaging in institutional fraud. Is fraud a problem or not? Should we have standards at all? Does patient safety matter or should we let fake nurses put patients at risk KNOWINGLY?
- foldr 6mo agoThere aren't anywhere near enough British nurses for the NHS to use only British nurses. Can you point to a credible long term plan to change that situation? That's what you'd do if you had a goal beyond just stirring up unjustified mistrust of foreigners.
