Debate on Immigration and NHS Impact
My country and your country are built on immigrants.
There is no reason why-
Not true.
It is.
Okay. We weren't. This is a really new phenomena to accept
thousands of people.
We've always taken immigrants in. The National Health Service was formed.
Not true again. 20% of the NHS-
I know
... made out of m- migrants. We have more people applying to be doctors
and nurses
than positions created.
I actually work in the National Health Service.
No, but I, I know the actual numbers.
I do. I do.
That's fantastic. Good on you. God bless you.
However, 20% of the NHS is made up of
foreign nationals. If you look statistically speaking,
we have more people applying
for these positions than positions actually created.
I'm not saying about, like, now, the present.
I'm saying that for years and years and years.
What's your understanding of history?
Of history?
Yeah, how is this country made out of migrants?
Because... Can you not do that, please?
I'm fr- I'm not from here.
Yeah.
I'm from Ireland. I'm from the north of Ireland.
I'm asking about, uh-
No, uh, uh, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I, for a lot of people in my country, because there's two different
religions, because you'll have people who, um, declare
themselves British and people who declare themselves as
Irish, the amount of
immigrants that we have, that I have, that I have, that we have in the
north of Ireland is unreal. They have built our
economy. They take up the jobs that no one wants.
You're just still making... You're just reasserting the claim.
Because I'm not here to have a conversation.
I'm just saying that you, like-
The, the, the way that Northern Ireland
was literally formed was because-
I, I'm sorry
... England just-
It's actually the north, sorry. I don't think we're
gonna have a conversation.
The north-
You don't bother him with your attitudes.
You're gonna talk-
With your attitudes
... whatever.
Okay.
Well, then educate me if I'm so wrong.
