I mean… The UK wants more nurses and care workers right? Why would it say no?
Because it’s toxic for the type of brexiteers who objected to the EU because it meant there were more foreigners in the country. Even “worse”, these people will mostly be visible minorities.
This is a crucial constituency for the Conservative party.

Exactly. And let’s not also forget the Labour majority in the red wall that voted for Brexit. Equally abhorrent.
Because Brexiters are irrational. I’m tired of pretending otherwise.
I would much rather have relied on the workforce of the EU than selling our country off to the lowest common denominator.
That’s pretty racist my friend. Why is your assumption that Indians are, in your words, the “lowest common denominator”?
That’s a pretty outdated way to think.
GDP per capita. That is not racism. it is fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita
Not everyone is a racist.
Err, sorry what does GDP per capita have to do with skilled nurses and care workers? As long as they are skilled who cares where they come from. Would you refuse to be treated by an Indian nurse because he or she came from a country whose GDP per capita was lower than a French one? Grow up.
You have to do better than to pretend your comment is anything other than racist. Fucking hell this sort of thinking is still popular these days. Disgusting.
Coming from the most racist country in the world this is brilliant.
India has issues I would rather not deal with until they can change. The education system is not good for everyone, it is good for the privileged few. Corruption is rife across the country. So no it is **NOT **racism, it is statement of fact. India is a very poor nation in terms of GDP. There are consequences to that.

A majority of the treatment in the NHS is privatised. There is profit in healthcare. Talk to anyone from the US about that.

I never said I was worried. I said it would be better to deal with the EU over India.

You’d rather rely on the economic group you exited than the country you colonized?
I would rather work with the countries I know rather than one I don’t. I won’t dragged down that route. Try someone else.

You don’t know India?
Er yeah, I said that. You want me to type it more slowly for you?
Why does India want this? Surely skilled workers leaving India for the UK is bad for India - far from being a price for the UK, this would enormously benefit the UK. The UK will be getting skilled workers whose education is mostly at India’s expense.
Getting visas are easy but citizenship is hard and when you think about the workers family it’s really rare that they leave but instead they bring remittance to india
I think if might be about fairness… probably still a sore point for India, especially with Britian.
Also, skilled workers may not always stay, and bring back what they learnt. Also, many send money home to relatives. We get another supply of skilled workers. It’s win win.
But we know why Brexiteers don’t want this…
I came here with the same question
Trade of skilled workers is becoming a popular thing.
