In an NHS ward I saw how Britain relies on immigrants. Yet still we tell them they’re not wanted | John Harris
S.The bitter absurdity is now in the heart of British life. Focus on NHSOur tense systems of social welfare and a toxic and uncommon conversation about immigration. Without hundreds of thousands of people who came to the United Kingdom from abroad, the main aspects of how to rely on old people, disability and patients will simply collapse. However, it seems that politics increases to deny this fact – and the result is a level of delicious hypocrisy even with modern standards.
Three weeks before last Christmas, my 89 -year -old father fell next month – on a journey of stairs and a hip joint break. After a terrifying long waiting for an ambulance, he was accepted to the hospital in McLeelfield, Cheshire, and works on it. In the midst of another horrific NHS winter, the hair of the treatment he received is a high miracle. There was another aspect of his stay, which seemed less than that. Macclesfield is hardly the most diverse place in the world, but most doctors and nurses who considered it carefully were migrants of the first generation, most of whom are African countries, or India: people who suffer from increased depths of their feet and their feet, but they are from their feet, but he answered my questions and inquiries not The end of it with amazing grace and patience.
My father was on the bone shock suite for a long time. Since my first visit, onwards, my mind began to be confused behind the scenes playing quietly around us, which is definitely similar throughout the country. When I look at my phone, or I heard a news bulletin that surpassed the iPad for another patient, the main headlines were often about the current political obsession with immigration and integration. Every morning, a carrier will appear with the newspapers, and the most popular options were mail and uniqueness, whose pages were – as they were always – regularly Warnings are full About foreign flows, a country is supposed to collapse. With the most visual methods that could be, what was happening in front of our eyes refuted all, but the contradiction is simply sitting there: one is the last of the British contradiction, in a country that extends with them.
In the middle of January, I began to get to know another place: a care house in the external mankonan suburbs, to which my father was transferred for physical therapy and rehabilitation. I have been there a lot recently. About all customers and patients of the race we classify as white British – while, again, most employees from abroad. The most sponsorship factor in Abi came to the UK from the Indian state of Kerala. The officials are mostly the Philippines. They do duties that will let most of us ask where we start: people raise and relieve them in long and painful days; Providing continuous friendship and comfort. Responding to endless screams to help.
Twenty -eight percent of NHS nurses We are Not citizens; Between doctors, the number 35 %. In London, the relevant share of health service employees is 30 %. The number is calculated between the workers in the field of English social welfare Up to 32 %. But as of March of last year, this working line was subject to this line A cruel new baseWhere they cannot bring any of those who are to live with: the result was Decrease In both approved health and care factor visas, their applications. You can join the points of this development to another story. around One of seven It is said that the NHS family is running well enough to leave it, but is awaiting social care. In the last sector, the latest estimates indicate that there 130,000 vacancies job. England CEO, Martin Green, The recipient says a ban It is “myopia and deep addiction.” This is the guide.
But dark mood music in Westminster continues; In fact, it turns completely toxicly, in all political fields. Last year, Kimi Badnoush was asked about her position on immigration, and her answer was reduced by care Carton moving: “We need to make sure that we are thinking about the next generation, and not only who will wipe our bottom today.” She now wants to force people from abroad to Wait for 15 years Before they can apply for British citizenship, while they also deny the permanent residence of anyone calling for advantages or social housing. Obviously, this is what happens when the province is constantly dragged to the right by the UK reform, a party that wants to migrate “zero”, and it was its leader I heard recently informing farmers Protest on changes at the inheritance tax that the government wants to obtain, “a lot of lands because they are planning 5 million people to come to the country.”
It is clear that the Labor Party feels the same clouds. The last two weeks have shown what Care Starmer and his colleagues believe will get them out of their current hole: follow his promise.Reducing migration – Legal and illegal“Conservatives are charged by running what they call sad.”Open borders“Experience, and ensure that the eyes are avoided from the practical consequences of the implicit return to the so -called hostile environment. With the possibility PullingThe possibility of a more constructive agenda-reducing political ventilation of migration by building social housing, ending local austerity, or finally reforming the thread care sector, so that more people born in the British are dealt with-that it is back down. . Instead, the UK may be about to learn the same lesson that awaits large areas of Europe, and the United States: that, especially in aging societies, a remarkable real comment reads “immigrants who do not want” are never a smart step.
When humans depend on others for the most important needs, the most moral response should be gratitude. But dependency also tends to arouse discontent and anger, which I think is part of the contemporary British case. It has not been long since millions of us stood outside our homes and gave “the main workers” A wide round of applause; Now, it seems that our politicians tell many of them that they are not required, or they are only allowed to be here on the basis of miserable and inhuman restrictions. In fact, Westminster appears to be installed in the future in which Padnosh, Sarmer and Najel Varage may eventually be sufficiently unable to try directly. I continue to photograph the care button with care, which is pushed in a feverish way, and no one comes to help.
