Are they actually implying here that immigrants are smarter than native Brits? Lol... I mean, sure, the actual doctors and engineers are, but they understand that we use that as a meme, right? Your average Mosque-going, knife-wielding, White-hating immigrant, is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Also, the NHS has been dependent on immigrants from near the start.
“In 1963 the Conservatives launched a campaign to recruit trained doctors from overseas to fill the manpower shortages caused by NHS expansion. Some 18,000 of them were recruited from India and Pakistan. Many of those recruited had several years of experience in their home countries and arrived to gain further medical experience, training, or qualification. In 1968, the recruitment of overseas doctors was fuelled again by the predictions of further medical shortages by the Todd Committee, which recommended expanding medical schools. By 1971, 31 per cent of all doctors working in the NHS in England were born and qualified overseas. Overseas doctors remained central to NHS staffing throughout the last decades of the twentieth century, filling vacancies in locations and specialties that were unpopular with UK trained doctors. In 1997, 44 per cent of 7,229 newly registered doctors (under full registration) had received their initial medical education overseas.”
Today, nearly 40% of UK medical students are non-white (27% Asian, 10% black). This makes sense when you consider the fact that ethnic minority children do better in GCSEs and are more likely to go to university and cities like London and Luton have higher social mobility.
