Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Again, what has this to do with health care workers? What benefit is it to you to make sweeping degrading generalisations of Indian people like you're doing?
After all the campaigns and education in schools about ending racism, you're a classic example of why we still have a long way to go. It properly makes me sick to think there's people like you in this country.
You keep on trying. Meanwhile you have never denied India has to be near the top of the pile when it comes to racism and segregation systems.
🙄 this is the UN study of racism and segregation you're pointing to or your mate Nigel down the pub told you this?
Does India have elements of their population that are racist, yes. Does the EU have elements of their population that are racist, yes. Does India have qualified nurses and health care workers that the UK needs, yes. Does the EU have qualified nurses and health care workers that the UK needs, yes. Should we allow qualified health care workers and nurses into the UK to meet demand, of course we should yes.
However your take seems to be that we should exclude qualified Indians because what exactly? Their... checks notes... GDP per capita is wrong? Come off it, buddy. You're not fooling anyone with your back handed racism. Despicable.

Are we done with this pathetic attempt to vent your anger on the west ?
😂 how long did you have to Google to find that definitive list?
Also I notice you're not answering any challenge about the original point regarding skilled workers? Instead preferring to advance your racism agenda.
Why are you racist? What happened to you as a child?
I know what happened to this child. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-66629952
Again, nothing to do with the quality of skilled nurses. Just more racist dog whistling from you the racist. Sad.
Everything is fine.
It is not my fault you have a nation I don't want anything to do with.
You are racist, self serving with war profits, while at the same time offering nothing in GDP per capita. There nothing whatsoever would make me want to keep a trade deal with India over the EU.
Which happens to throw a huge amount of support to Ukraine, has checks and balance against discrimination, and guess what they have a decent GPD per capita. Are you really so uneducated you cannot work it out?
You specifically started out saying that you didn't want qualified Indians in positions that the UK needs and tried to support this racist view by quoting GDP figures.
Imagine someone said the same about, oh I don't know, Irish people. Imagine they said Irish qualified nurses shouldn't be allowed to work in the UK because Ireland is a tax haven? Do you hear how daft and racist that is? Yet you can't see how daft and racist you sound when you talk about Indians?
Are you really this bitter about foreigners?
