Doctors like everyone else can freely choose to work where they like. You see that in digital nomads.
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Isn't it just another more modern form of colonial exploitation of poorer countries?
'Let's economise on the costs of training UK doctors and import them from Ghana, Nigeria and the Congo/ They can pay the costs of training our new crop of doctors,' Rubs hands and fingers a pile of bank notes.
If you believe a free world is a better world, you would not be so hostile to freedom of movement.
I have explained my reasons in detail above.
I note that you made no attempt to address the issues I raised. None.
Your reference to freedom of movement is rather bizarre. This is a concept which applies only inside the EU Shengen area of similar high value economies
. It does not apply outside. It is not legal for people to simply turn up from Africa on a plane in Paris. They all enter illegally who come without a proper visa.
No high value economy in the world allows just anyone to turn up and settle.
This being said, I am at a loss as to why you raise it as if 'freedom of movement' was the norm, or even widely practised.

Take the case of the doctors that Jonathan mentioned. They may have studied here or have only worked here. We don't know their history. As far as our NHS recruits from overseas is concerned, I don't see any problem. Countries don't hold their citizens slaves. That doctor that our NHS recruits may have grown up in Ghana but his education and upbringing was paid for by his parents. He is free to choose how to live his life.
This could happen here if our next government went for mass deportation.
I think illegal border crossings should be punished with heavy fines instead of treatments like this.

A new iron curtain of censorship now encircles the UK and Europe, imposed by politicians purporting to defend democracy. America can help lift it. Censorship...
