Default Will Brexit lead to the abandonment of Crossrail2 and Turning South London

Plenty of EU citizens living in the UK earn much more than the minimum
wage. How would the NHS survive without them?


Sure, migrant workers do an excellent job in the NHS and elsewhere. But there are thousands of
Btritish people denied the opportunity to train as health workers because the UK government has cut
training.


Or in fact cut the funding for people undergoing training.

The short term issue is that if you can poach trained staff from the EU
free of charge, why would you spend £20-30K subsidising each Brit to get
qualified instead?

How many hip replacements would each £30k fund?
