Also lazygirl EU nurse places have gone down because the English language test got so much tougher.
Many were not good enough, in hospital language really matters.

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 19:44:13

It wouldn't matter what your MP feels ( pro or against Brexit) though lazygirl as he has to respect the referendum vote in Parliament.Free to have voted which way he pleased two years ago of course.

Good for you lazigirl

EU nursing staff have been reassured lemongrove at 18:44. Sadly I fear the reassurance has come too late because more EU staff have left than joined since the Brexit vote and this has has apparently accelerated since 2017. My MP is a hard Brexiter but I, along with plenty of others still rattle his cage, so that he becomes less smug and complacent in his supposedly safe seat.

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 19:29:42

Ridiculous jura .....but you know that already.
You are simply jumping on the bandwagon.

varian Tue 16-Oct-18 19:27:51

Sadly, I have to say lemon that I do not have high hopes, but , as they say, a week is a long time in politics.

jura2 Tue 16-Oct-18 19:27:49

lemongrove, enough and reported. How do you know what goes on in people's lives and who is suffering from what?

'Sounds as if you cannot come to terms with leaving the EU
Gill....I wonder if there is therapy out there for that condition.wink'

this is just not acceptable, nasty and rude. Reported.

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 19:23:46

I doubt that very much Varian though I can see that you have high hopes.

varian Tue 16-Oct-18 19:13:34

Or possibly, lemon, you may have to come to terms with the fact that brexit was a nonsensical fantasy and the country rejected it just in time.

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 19:09:18

What will they do next March then Eloethan ?
At some point, they have to come to terms with it.

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 19:07:39

Varian your comments to those who voted Leave, have for the last two years been unbelievable.I fully expect you to be carrying on with it ( with a few others) for many years to come after we have left the EU next March.
This thread is a scaremongering excercise, pure and simple.

oldbatty Tue 16-Oct-18 19:05:59

Who are you to say whats ridiculous outrage? Do you run the show here?

Eloethan Tue 16-Oct-18 19:05:18

lemongrove I think there are huge, and ever increasing, numbers of people who can't come to terms with leaving the EU. Perhaps the increasing concern is due to the fact that, although the leave team presented leaving the EU as a piece of cake, in fact it has turned into one almighty mess, with many public and commercial bodies predicting massive disruption in all sorts of areas. Perhaps it could be argued that some individuals and commercial enterprises are merely reflecting their own vested interests, rather than the interests of the country as a whole, but why would that be true of those working in public institutions like the NHS?

I am afraid that the Gransnet leavers are in many ways typical of leavers in general.

I will not attempt to describe their characteristics - they reveal themselves in all their arrogance and lack of understanding.

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 19:02:55

Ridiculous outrage from you, the comment had nothing to do with depression as you well know.
As for you oldbatty you certainly say anything you like to other posters.

oldbatty Tue 16-Oct-18 19:02:53

Yes a very difficult and sensitive area and therefore not one to be mocked and belittled.

GillT57 Tue 16-Oct-18 18:56:34

I am not fooled by the wink lemon, you are rude. As someone who has previously, after much heartsearching, admitted to suffering from depression, I find your comment about needing therapy offensive.

oldbatty Tue 16-Oct-18 18:55:33

You are a bloody disgrace, mocking somebody and suggesting they need therapy.

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 18:54:27

Because it’s happening Varian

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 18:53:51

You could write out The Red Flag song again oldbatty it may cheer you up.

oldbatty Tue 16-Oct-18 18:52:05

How very offensive you are.

varian Tue 16-Oct-18 18:51:40

Why on earth should we have to "come to terms " with something that woulds do so much damage to our country?

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 18:48:27

Sounds as if you cannot come to terms with leaving the EU
Gill....I wonder if there is therapy out there for that condition.wink

varian Tue 16-Oct-18 18:46:01

My awful Tory MP, who displaced a brilliant LibDem, is also a member of the dinosaurs club- the ERG. So what would be thew point of trying to influence him?

We do not live in a democracy. The ERG stands for European Research Group. The are a group but the other two words in their description are lies.

lemongrove Tue 16-Oct-18 18:44:39

The comment ‘sorry BMA you will have to adapt’ means
( of course) that they will have to adapt to the idea of leaving the EU.
When the BMA council chair says they don’t want Brexit ....
Well, they may not, but the rest of the country got to vote too, and that’s the way the vote went!
EU nursing staff have already been reassured, along with all EU workers already living here, that they can continue to live and work here after next March.
British people living in all EU countries have yet to be reassured on that, by the countries concerned.
