Sophy Ridge: "20,000 foreign doctors come to the UK every year, but we reject about 16,000 med school applicants, & this is because of money right? It's cheaper for us to import trained doctors from abroad rather than subsidise training in the UK"

High levels of youth unemployment and inactivity yet the government decides to source low-wage workers from abroad - even when they pose such a high fiscal cost in the long-run. Just the usual mismanagement from the Uniparty.
Britain's Office for Budget Responsibility estimates a typical low wage migrant will cost the taxpayer ~£600,000 (€685,000 or $800,000) if they reach the UK average life expectancy of 82. We are told migrants will pay our pensions - in reality, we will pay theirs.

Two Afghan asylum seekers rape a 15 year old. Their lawyers tried to gag the press. Now: Another Afghan national charged with raping TWO 14 year old girls in Bolton. This HAS to stop. Foreign criminals must be deported.
JUST IN - Sultani Bakatash, a 28-year-old Afghan national, charged with raping two 14-year-old girls in a flat in Bolton, England.

Afghans were brought here using secret court orders & we only find out because of a lengthy legal battle in a secret court to expose it After raping a teenager the press have to fight again to even report on it
This raises serious questions about how many times these arguments have been accepted by judges

ENOUGH. A 15-year-old girl raped by two Afghan males who entered our country illegally. In a park. In broad daylight. and their own lawyers tried to STOP the press from even naming them or revealing their immigration status. How many more British children have to be violated
🚨Breaking News🚨 It can now be confirmed that the “two 17 year old boys from Leamington” in this story are actually Afghan boat migrants. A 15 year old girl was “abducted” away from her friends and raped by one of them, as he called his friend & told him to “come quick” and do

we import 20k foreign doctors a year. Meanwhile, there was a record 28,000 applications to medical schools for just 8,000 places this year. Why are we depriving our own talented young people of opportunity, in order to bring in foreigners that we don’t need Brits first

The solution is simple: Scrap the Cap. Sign our Petition 👇👇 https://t.co/0p3v60OB60
Half of trainee British doctors finishing this summer had no job lined up. Yet the NHS is poaching foreign doctors. One in six of Nigeria's are now in the UK. The real scandal isn't pay: it's a broken training pipeline. My column:- https://t.co/3wT78HLfnE

‘Britain has chosen to import roughly 20,000 doctors a year while rejecting about 16,000 med-school applicants. About one in six of Nigeria’s registered doctors now works in Britain, as do one in ten of Pakistan’s’ https://t.co/Uhncqu9qlP

"We need immigration because the NHS relies on foreign doctors!" The UK caps medical training at home, meanwhile, Nigeria loses 16,000 doctors in 7 years, which has cost them billions. You're not defending the NHS. You're defending a policy failure that breaks healthcare both

We have record-high NHS waiting lists. We have thousands of young people who want to be doctors. The government caps how many we can train. Then we recruit from countries with doctor shortages. This system is broken. Sign to scrap the cap:
