Labour Councillor laments foreign "scabs" in local hospital. Says we should train our own.

The full council meeting tonight contained an astonishing example of what you could describe as a xenophobic  statement. Certainly a UKIP or BNP would have been at the receiving end of howls of protest if he, or she, had made it.

In an otherwise run of the mill defence of the NHS Councillor Ann  Holland (Droylsden West), after a loud exchange with Tory group leader John Bell, referred to "Bringing in foreign doctors and nurses......scab.....Why aren't we training our own/" Her voice was low and hard to hear properly  which could explain why no disapproving remarks or comments were heard until some time later Cllr Jackson spoke, during which time she made a few remarks about the value of foreign nurses.

Cllr Holland is entitled to her views, and this blog believes in freedom of speech. But she makes a habit of offensive remarks, wishing that Margaret Thatcher would go blind being one. Perhaps it s time her party practiced what the Labour party preaches regarding xenophobic utterances.

It's not the first time Labour Ann has made that comment about foreign doctors working at TGH. What should matter is not what country a doctor comes from but whether they're competent to do the job. If they can put you right, be thankful! The NHS has been relying on foreign workers for years. One man who brought foreign workers into the NHS, was Enoch Powell, when he was Minister of Health, in the Heath conservative government.

They should be imported only as a necessity but we should be training our own.

I agree with a Tameside Labour Councillor for once. Communication relies on not only linguistic, but cultural and even racial factors. People should be able to communicate with their doctors freely and comfortably and to do that you need someone who comes from where you come from, who you recognise as one of your own.
Imparting your very personal ailments to an uncaring, hard to understand foreigner is no match for talking to your friendly local doctor.

Genocide against our people and they don't even know.

It isn't that simple people. Many of our own Doctors up sticks and leave to work abroad in countries such as Canada and the USA. That leaves us having to fill the void by recruiting from the third world. Perhaps if they weren't so pressured by increasing patient numbers and perhaps if other countries didn't poach our health professionals, then we wouldn't have to do the same.

It's thanks to the likes of Ann Holland and her Labour Party that such a problem exists in the first place... mass immigration, globalisation, and an international sentiment which means individuals are less inclined to value their homeland where they should live work and ultimately die.

Elderly whites encouraged to "downsize" to make way for "families" said...

Its quite clear what is behind this "initiative". They plan to "encourage" elderly whites to move out of their homes, so that immigrant families can have them.

White British people had better wake up and grow some before we're permanently exterminated from our land.

Ref Elderly Whites, No new laws are needed-

The Requisition of Private Properties & Land Act has never been repealed for use in emergencies.

An emergency can be a large number of people without homes eg immigrants for instance.

Be warned!
