It's not a "white" country. Skin colour has nothing to do with national identity. Skin colour does, in fact, have very little to do with anything, anything at all.

I guess except whose racists you're palatable to.

'snot though

UK trainee doctoring requires a posting at a UK hospital. those are very much under domestic control. You can always doctor elsewhere, the government won't stop you, good luck paying your way though.

It's part of the problem but the other part is a combination of politics and economics. British doctors are wanted everywhere and they're smart enough to know they're wanted. Jeremy Hunt sees them as a resource, which is why there is going to be a short-term ban on them working outside the country after their training is done (not unreasonable, but everything he touches is despised).

As a doctor, gently caress you for thinking that going through all that training should lead to indentured servitude to the NHS. Trying to force doctors to work for this country rather than attracting them is an ugly, ugly idea that goes completely against the principle of solidarity between working people.

Not to mention the only way to enforce it would be to come after doctors with debt collectors if they ever came back to the UK. Good job encouraging talented people to emigrate and never return.

See the not racist thing to say would be "the indigenous population of a country not wanting to become a minority"

I have never not once been told that I don't belong here or that I'm destroying the British way of life even though I'm a filthy immigrant, but I guess it's ok because I'm white and from Australia and have been here since I was a baby so don't have an accent.

So the central point is either Hunt is discussing something that already happens (domestic training) or genuinely claiming he's going to bar qualified MDs from going to work elsewhere, which he can't do.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I suppose it ties in with whether you believe British culture is intrinsic to skin colour and genetics, and is basically a pure strain thing that can only be diluted by foreigners.

But you'd have to be a pretty terrible person to believe something like that!

Please elaborate on what damage you think a majority of people in the UK having slightly more melanin in their skin in twenty years would do to either the country or white people in it.

(We're politely assuming that this is a thing that will happen, and not total bullshit, but if anyone's unclear it is definitely the last one)

*IF* you think that long term demographic projections are legit it would seem to me that a country of old white people being supported by younger working brown people is rather obviously a better future than a country of old white people supported by *nobody*. I think if you rather die than live off taxes paid by browns then you might be a little bit racist

he can saddle posting positions with big £££ bill, which is then waived if a service term is fulfilled - this is the typical way of things internationally, e.g.

the price of default would be a big angry note on your credit report, presumably. Which might not matter if you're some bloke living hand-to-mouth, but if you're a consultant earning consultant pay (or at least hope to eventually become one), earning incomes which will typically be in excess of the top rate, you will certainly have income and assets on the hook

The way he has suggested doing it would be to saddle newly qualified doctors with hundreds of thousands of pounds of debt, which can be 'forgiven' in exchange for many years of service to the NHS. Leave the country and they will try and come after you for the money.

If it operates the same way as student loans the only effect it would have would be to prevent doctors that emigrate from ever coming back.

Like, seriously I'm real confused because the usual dodge here is "I don't have a problem with #race, but they don't share our culture". If you don't give a poo poo about culture, what's wrong with people looking slightly different?

If it's somehow slipped you by, I can assure you any genetic differences between people are marginal, at best.

Well you're the one contesting that non-white immigration to the UK is threatening white people. And you don't think that culture is relevant, so in order for what you think to be coherent, you have to think that non-white people are inferior. Or you'd be happy that they were coming.
