Only in Sunderland lol
-
Western society isn’t like that though Wilf,we have our children as individuals,not a collective,it’s down to a family unit to guide their offspring.
-
I did.That’s why I said……Parenting.
-
UK is currently reliant on immigration,I ain’t comparing,just saying what I see.
-
I never said it was great though did I?I am just stating what I see happen around me as someone who is an active people watcher.
-
I was being tactful mC.
-
We all have our opinion,I see London filling,spent a few months in California this year where it helps to speak Spanish,went to Brampton in Ontario the other week which is 70% Indian?Humans wash around the planet very easily nowadays.
-
Bit late in all honesty,it’s a melting pot,you have seen London.
-
Truthfully?Its too late,look around,skills gaps that need filling now not in four or five years after a kid completes a degree,it’s not happening.
-
Not logical for their governments who want hard currency sent back or the immigrants themselves who want a better life in the west.
-
I have seen improvement but it’s slow,the OFW’s mainly want their kin educated so they can also leave and head to the west.
-
That’s why I said,don’t hate the players,hate the game.
-
They are,they are sending them abroad to remit cash back home.
-
No logic for them and certainly not kind,they want the cash remitted back home to educate,prosper,and thrive,and we can’t make them stay there,there’s a skills shortage in the west,hospitals are desperate for staff,I know that.
-
They need the money Philippines has half a million qualified nurses,they cap those allowed to work abroad through the POEA to 5000 a year,that’s not including the huge fresh crop of annual graduates,they have plenty of people who all study to get out and send cash back,they wouldn’t understand your logic.
-
They don’t want to stay in their countries of origins,they study and actually pay to get out,visit a hospital,ask a nurse.
-
Don’t hate the players Wilf,hate the game.I always say Brit kids need to skill up,they are falling behind.
-
I never said it was fantastic,but it’s nothing akin to slavery as you put it and it IS happening,ever been to a hospital in Dublin?I know quite a few foreign nurses working in Ireland,things are changing.
-
Exactly,it’s nothing like slavery,slaves are taken against their will and forced into servitude,OFW’s PAY to work abroad.I know immigrants here on 100k plus dollars,living in 5 bed detached houses driving decent motors and sending cash back to the third world to educate nieces and nephews who want a slice of the pie,the labour market in the west is changing quickly.
-
I always said train Brit kids,but nursing isn’t a popular course in the UK,Sunderland uni is about to attract more foreign students as it’s doing a medicine course,again not really popular with Brit kids,I saw three doctors today when I went to Ottawa hospital with my Mrs to see some of her old mates,the three doctors were Asian,even poverty stricken third world parents have aspirations for their kids,the more you learn the more you earn was something I drummed into my kids from a young age.
-
No,parenting Wilf,it begins at home,that’s where the seeds are sown.
-
No,you’re wrong,let’s just say the Philippines as an example?One of its biggest exports is humans,look how much remittance flows into the country from Medical professionals and engineers exported abroad to send cash back.Everyone I ever met there wanted to work abroad,there’s a huge industry built around it,the country survives on it.
-
I never told my own though,I told my kids education is the key.I can see highly skilled migrants every day of the week coming to the west,it’s a reality,I actually see it,but I came from an area where the average aspiration was just to get a job.The average kid in some country’s wants to be a doctor,engineer,something of real value,the average kid on my old estate wants a job in Nissan.
-
But,Canada and America were built on immigration Canada is trying to Attract half a million skilled immigrants annually at the moment,my youngest son and his girl are in the states because of their education.I have been banging on for years about skilling the UK up,but if todays kids don’t want it what’s the alternative?
-
The reason they do it is to better their life,when your on the bottom the only way your going to climb the ladder is through education.I just went to the hospital my missus used to work in while she went up to her old ward to see some mates,most of them are immigrants.When I was a kid my parents were dumb fuckers,I wanted to go to university,I remember my dad saying don’t be stupid get a job,I made sure from when they were small both my kids understood university would follow school.
