    I would much rather have relied on the workforce of the EU than selling our country off to the lowest common denominator.

      That’s pretty racist my friend. Why is your assumption that Indians are, in your words, the “lowest common denominator”?

      That’s a pretty outdated way to think.

          Err, sorry what does GDP per capita have to do with skilled nurses and care workers? As long as they are skilled who cares where they come from. Would you refuse to be treated by an Indian nurse because he or she came from a country whose GDP per capita was lower than a French one? Grow up.

          You have to do better than to pretend your comment is anything other than racist. Fucking hell this sort of thinking is still popular these days. Disgusting.

            Coming from the most racist country in the world this is brilliant.

            India has issues I would rather not deal with until they can change. The education system is not good for everyone, it is good for the privileged few. Corruption is rife across the country. So no it is **NOT **racism, it is statement of fact. India is a very poor nation in terms of GDP. There are consequences to that.

            A majority of the treatment in the NHS is privatised. There is profit in healthcare. Talk to anyone from the US about that.

                I never said I was worried. I said it would be better to deal with the EU over India.

                  I also don‘t get your point. Will health care workers from India be paid less than the ones from the EU? Will they provide a lesser service? Or do you think we shouldn‘t take away expertise from developing countries?

                    India would not get accepted into the EU due to the standards India maintains. In this light, I suppose the EU must be racist also. I think along the same lines as the EU. India is part of the BRICS group. Send your expertise to Russia. They need bodies a lot more than we do.

      You’d rather rely on the economic group you exited than the country you colonized?

        I would rather work with the countries I know rather than one I don’t. I won’t dragged down that route. Try someone else.
