The Labour Government

Yeah sorry to correct you but I was referring to the Trust overall not just the hospitals as a whole. Even this contradicts you and is the report from 4 years beyond the one you quote. In fact it mirrors the migrations figs - 2021 = 10k in the Hospitals - 2024 15k. Those recruits are from where? There are so many more people who work outside a hospital but still work for the Trust.

I think you might have meant 12k but typed 122k.
 
Did you make a point of asking them their nationalities so you could write this post or is it yet another “story” of yours that fits the narrative?

You shouldn't be so dismissive, the security staff at my entrance to the Etihad are Nigerians, I recognised their accent coz I used to live there, I asked them if they were Nigerians and they said they were, they're Yoruba. Now every time I see them we talk about Nigerian high life, jollof rice and Gulder beer and we briefly chew the fat, they're pleased that someone knows about their country and has positive vibes about it, coz guess what? They're proud Nigerians and they love their country, it's not a big thing.
 
.....Secondly, immigrants contribute more to the fiscal ledger than they cost, families included. We’ve been importing labour since the year dot and the arguments against it are like Groundhog Day.

About Norwich - a city which in the 16th century was about one third immigrants.

England is a land of immigrants. The very first human beings set foot here from Doggerland to hunt 10,000 years ago. With the mighty Ice Age glaciers retreating, the land was perfect for hunting large elk and mammoth. People have been coming from other lands to settle here ever since. With the Beaker People, Celts, Romans, Saxons, Anglo Scandinavians, Normans and many other cultures coming here from other countries, we have always been a mix of peoples. Norwich is no exception. Our own immigrant settlers have appeared in Norwich since the Normans arrived in the 11th Century. They brought French Jewish communities to help with finances. In the 1500s, from mainland Europe, came Protestant refugees. They brought Norwich large sums of money, to the point where our city became second only to London in terms of wealth. These people became known locally as The Strangers. Like any new settlers, they received a sizeable amount of xenophobia, as seems to be an unfortunate common theme among those less accepting. Despite this, they made such a mark on our city that we still celebrate them today.

Manchester was a quarter Irish 150 years ago, and a lot of the rest from other parts of Britain.

Once more, the roll call of immigrant wealth-creators in the NW in the 19th century before we restricted immigration: Beyer-Peacock, Renold Chains, Clayton Aniline, ICI (Brunner-Mond), Ferranti...
