Ditto NHS. Lots of cheap labour from abroad allowed both labour and
tories to
cut medical training in the UK. Of course the clueless remoaners seem

that foreign labour is essential for the NHS rather than being a
deliberate
- albeit never publicised - government policy for decades.

It's about asking the right questions. We've not had a referendum to ask
people whether they'd prefer 2p on income tax or more UK-trained doctors
and nurses. So we leave it to politicians and election manifestos.

IIRC the Libdems tried that once with predictable results.
