I am a doctor in the NHS, and I have made a three minute video trying to examine why the NHS is always so shortstaffed, what can be done about it and the responsibilities the public has regarding this, especially given we’re possibly heading towards the worst winter crisis ever recorded.

Oh fucking hell where did all these old cunts come from?

Well sorry to break it to you love but an ageing population is gradual, there isn’t suddenly loads of old people that have just snuck up on the NHS, otherwise this graph would have a mahoosive spike slap bang in the middle of it,

And the NHS problem isn’t one that’s just gradually snuck up on us in the form of old people, otherwise the two graphs would correlate.

No the financial performance of the NHS has significantly declined in the past 6/7 years despite a significant increase in spending

So it’s a sudden thing, not something as gradual as old people. Immigration is extremely sudden.

And the native people of Britain’s birth rates are down, not up, not even at replacement level. They are down.

So explain to me where these unprecedented levels of increased hospital activity have come from? as it isn’t British people, nor is it the elderly as I’ve already shown.

Like I said.... mental gymnastics.

Also your anecdote doesn’t prove anything,

Migrants being younger and healthier doesn’t really make a difference. 40% of births every year are not White British. Also considering the large percentage of the population that are immigrants, they only have to use NHS services once every two years and it still makes a huge difference.

Could you be a little more specific? That link you gave me isn’t even on the NHS. Can you actually prove that caring for an 80 year old today costs proportionally more today the. 30 years ago?

What are you talking about? I literally used that Kingsfund link yesterday in a comment to the OP further down in a thread, yes funding has not followed the trend of previous years at the rate of 3.7%, but the White British population has stagnated and now actually began to decline in those years, so if our population hasn’t got so big as to cause these mass amounts of visits to the Hospital and the elderly population going to the hospital hasn’t suddenly enlarged (as you have yet to prove they have, and graphs like this show it’s extremely gradual ) then the obvious question is where they have come from, and the answer is not here. They’ve immigrated here.

To even further add, you say the NHS is staffed by many migrants and we’re lucky to have them because of how understaffed the NHS is; but did it ever occur to you that perhaps if we didn’t have such a large immigrant population in Britain then we’d have no need for so many foreign workers and we wouldn’t have this crisis in the first place.

No my mind is not too made up, what you have just insinuated is that my mind is too made up without looking at the evidence, but in reality it’s like me putting 2 & 2 together getting 4 and then you going “why even bother, your mind is too made up”.

Maybe we can one day stop thinking about what our neighbours take, and rather what they can give us .

Yeah, if someone ever gives me a Christmas present and then blows my leg off I’ll make sure to think about what they gave me first.

Merry Christmas, please try and think about where our Nation is headed, think about the future you want for our descendants and the future our ancestors wanted for us, as this is most definitely not it.
