I’ve Worked Hard In The NHS For 17 Years But Since Brexit I’ve Felt Like A Second Class Citizen

How do you work that out...?


How much tax do you think a nurse pays in a year...?


While school places are £6000 a year each and tax credits + child benefit would amount to over £10000 a year on top...!?


Then add on all the other associated costs to public services etc...

sorry tommy accidentally clicked a red there. need to replace my mouse batteries.

Easily, based off how much he has given into the system, caring for people.
How much has he cost the system, considering he never went to school here?
So again that first part of his life was a cost to his own country, not the UK.
That means those born here like I said, cost far more to the system, than he does in the years he has been here.

dont know how much tax he has paid over the years, but it is a valid point about school places and tax credits. He has worked for the NHS and that is laudable, but presumably he could have done the same in his own country as well and contributed to their health care system?
I dont have a problem with those that come to work. The NHS would be hard up without foreign workers.
but for every foreign nurse or doctor britain takes, we deprive the home country of a doctor or nurse. I might be wrong but perhaps they chose to work in the NHS for money rather than altruism.

Having worked in many unison offices across the west of england I would take with a pinch of salt anything that came from them.

Really?
So a child who is born here and speaks multiple languages, will be seen as foreign?
Or an adult?
How exactly?
So any Welsh, speaking Gaelic are foreign to you?

here's a big bunch of hairs for you to split.

What a bizzare thing to say on a forum. You profess to know how all these coloured people feel??? How do you know?  

1.Are you the union leader of nurses and midwives? - the official representative whom they all go to with their problems?
2. Or do you socialise with these people, go out drinking and dining with them on nights out - cos only in that relaxed atmosphere will they let it be known what is truly in their hearts.
3. Or do you have one of those kindly, approachable faces which makes even complete strangers run up to you and tell you all their problems?
4. Or are you simply psychic?

aeren't you also professing to know them?

Well has she met 7,993,480 of the foreign born population in this country?
Do you think she clearly has not even met no more than 50?
She would need to seriously get out more to gain a perspective on that amount of foreign born people, dont you think?
Considering its well known that Dibs is a stay at home mum, how on earth would she know people in work and foreign, in great numbers?
So its hardly surprising she has not met many at all. I doubt she has met many foreigners in work full stop.,

if she has met 50 and non have felt treated differently then she could quite rightly extrapolate.

His children are British and the cost is attributed to them.
So again he has paid no doubt far more into the system, than most of those British born. You cannot attribute the cost of his children who are British born. That is 18 years of costs that he is not responsible for, as his home country is.

As to your point on British doctors and nurses, many go to work abroad, because they get paid better. The NHS always has a shortage, so its poor to say they are taking any jobs in the NHS. This is the vicious circle of the world, where those born and trained here often seeked a better life from these years of studying to be doctors. Not only that it takes years for someone to train to be a doctor and in different specific fields

The simple answer is no.

Doctors who are newly qualified form a growing proportion of the thousands of British medics seeking jobs abroad each year, triggering concerns that the NHS is heading for a staffing crisis.
Specialist recruitment agencies and GPs’ leaders say doctors, many of whom have just finished their training, are becoming disillusioned with the state of their profession and seeking fresh starts in countries such as Australia, where they can earn double what they are paid in Britain. Figures given to the Observer by the General Medical Council show that an average of 2,852 certificates enabling British doctors to work abroad were issued annually between 2008 and 2014 – a total of 19,522.

by and large many if not most of those were happy to be in the motherland and embrace british values.
Of course many from the Caribbean and indian sub continent were subjected to racial abuse, but they still got on with it.

Plenty of people have always kicked up a fuss about immigration to this country, it started in the 1950's, but this is about where people do not need to even become British citizens, because they are part of the EU
So you are talking at something completely different. The reality is though many since Brexit, have been made to feel not welcome, just like previously all the way back to the 1950's with any immigrants.
As EU citizens, they do not have to become British citizens and today, the Government is going to ensure that those EU citizens with have their rights protected. So clearly they disagree with you.

I would hope that Romanian pickpocket gangs have been made to feel unwelcome. I would hope those that come here to claim benefits to send back to their home country to build luxury, by their standards, houses also realise the gravy train is coming to an end. Britain has enough beggars without importing them from eastern europe. I for one miss the scottish drunk with a harmonica swaying on a street corner with his hand out.

yes and that is entirely wrong. The uk has spent millions training them and they qualify and run off, that is exactly why they need to be required to work for the NHS for a set number of years before they can move away, or they repay their full training costs

Ah, something we agree on, which would then lessen the need to have qualified people fill the massive gaps in employment within the NHS

That is not a good example, as all that shows, is that we should have border controls, even with free movement. So checks are done, to prevent those with criminal records entering.

it doesn't matter if criminal checks are made they still have free movement and can enter under EU rules. We cannot even deport them if they break the law.,

Guilt by Association is a fallacy in which a person rejects a claim simply because it is pointed out that people she dislikes accept the claim. This sort of "reasoning" has the following form: It is pointed out that people person A does not like accept claim P.

Any opinion which starts with the words ''no one'' or ''every one'' puts the writer in a trap, for a start.

Going by her posting history (which I have just looked at) VOD does not strike me as a bad sort. But surely she should be wary of speaking on behalf of others.

She said she had not 'found' anyone to be treated differently. 'FOUND'? How reliable are these findings that she found? Are they the result of her doing research, or a poll or canvassing opinions on a large scale?

If, for example, someone starts pontificating about golfing skills, golfing equipment, golf courses etc, it natural to ask them how they come by all that indepth knowledge.


It's all very well saying that this man has no NEED to feel any different, post brexit. But this does not necessarily stop the ill-informed people around him from trying to MAKE him feel different. There are many myths and misconceptions among ill informed people about how brexit will change things , and these ignoramuses are probably the main rreason why this man feels this way.


If someone takes the time and trouble to write a letter saying he is made to feel different post-brexit, do any of us have a right to glibly dismiss it as a load of nonsense?

Free movement means for those within the EU to all have the same rights to live and reside within each EU country. You can still have border checks, even for returning citizens of that nation

Our church is full of black white congregation - most of them are doctors nurses . None of them feel unwelcome since the Brexit vote . For two nights my dad has been in intensive care he has got septicemia . Most of the nurses are immigrants some are black and white , I never saw any indication that they feel unwelcome nor did i see any patients or other staff members ( British) ever show any sign that they didn't want them there . Everyone was fantastic getting on with their jobs giving my dad the most wonderful professional care ever .

We were basically told he wouldn't make it through but he has he was sat up last night talking to us better than he has in months, he has responded to medication and things are looking brighter . But there is a long road ahead for us .

Saw any indication does not mean, they do not feel unwelcome. Wht is clearly evident by the article, is that some do feel unwelcome. Again the minuscule amount of immigrants you may well know, does not class in anyway how many could feel.

Glad your dad is getting better though, must be horrible.
Septicemia can be easily missed or wrongly diagnosed as something else

Oh FFS. It's obvious that Vod was talking about her own experience. Obviously, she doesn't know every immigrant in the UK, so I don't know why some people are obsessing about what she said.

Glad your father's feeling better Vod.

Because its very relevant to show how such claims have very little bearing when they are based on hearsay
Its not obsessing but easily showing how people attempt to argue their point off something they cannot validate and off guilt by association.
Its a fallacy argument.
You seem to under some illusion, people cannot be critical or challenge claims.

Loads of people generalise on here, and there isn't so much obsession about it.

Your view to claim obsession is subjective and a weak argument at best.
Its just a poor defense to try poorly to deflect the view off how that posters view is a fallacy argument.

Well she's explained what she meant now, so you can stop obsessing about it - yes?

Again your view is on obsessing.

Carry on obsessing then - it's what you do best.

I always laugh when you make something emotive when its not.
You interject something, just because people challenge something and you like the poster
Its a piss poor deflection Rags

Our church is full of black white congregation - most of them are doctors nurses . None of them feel unwelcome since the Brexit vote . For two nights my dad has been in intensive care he has got septicemia . Most of the nurses are immigrants some are black and white , I never saw any indication that they feel unwelcome nor did i see any patients or other staff members ( British) ever show any sign that they didn't want them there . Everyone was fantastic getting on with their jobs giving my dad the most wonderful professional care ever .

We were basically told he wouldn't make it through but he has he was sat up last night talking to us better than he has in months, he has responded to medication and things are looking brighter . But there is a long road ahead for us .

Saw any indication does not mean, they do not feel unwelcome. Wht is clearly evident by the article, is that some do feel unwelcome. Again the minuscule amount of immigrants you may well know, does not class in anyway how many could feel.

Glad your dad is getting better though, must be horrible.
Septicemia can be easily missed or wrongly diagnosed as something else

Thank you he's a very poorly man and has a long way to go and at 81 with other health issues he is doing very well .

My mums new neighbours ( of six months )are Muslim very lovely people told her that if she needs anything at all to knock on the wall and they will be round to help - I have just been to check on my mum and her neighbour was just going into his house I asked him if i could ask a question and he said 'yeah sure what it is ' I said i was commenting on an article recently about an NHS worker who has been here 17 years and now feels uneasy because of the Brexit vote and does he and his wife feel the same way ?. He said he feels welcome has many friends gets along with everyone and hasn't felt any different and he came here with his parents when he was 6 . I'm not surprised he gets along actually he is one of the most helpful caring guy I know and he looks after my mum which is wonderful - he works for the NHS has his van parked in the drive . Just thought i would ask him and although he feels welcome there may be many who do not - maybe just our part of the country we must be a friendly bunch in the North
