Yes, good point. @Harry Wilson's tackle will know I guess but presumably it means that the UK has to validate the training in India. Does that come with any unintended consequences and is it better than offering more training places here in the UK ?

Thank you for that detailed reply. Something I like about NSC is the range of skills and experience people bring to discussions. That’s when you have waded through the no marks who enjoy dishing out anonymous abuse. One thing you have misunderstood is when I said we should not accede to the 35 %...

Regarding the NHS, I agree with your diagnosis but not your cure ! If doctors really are leaving to double their money abroad then increasing junior doctor pay by 35 % just won’t be sufficient and they will be back for similar next year. If anybody should understand these market forces it is the...

No, I told you. I have seen debates. Where are you going with this ? America is a country of wealth extremes. Parts of it are equivalent to developing countries. Many reasons for this and amongst them is a belief in Thatcher like low taxation in many states. I have made it very clear in previous...

Unlike you to be hostile. I didn’t know I had a plan. I said I had seen them and did not say it was a good thing.

Well, yes that was what I was saying but not what some of the early posters were saying. Btw there is near enough a Flux of Pink Indians album title at the end of your second paragraph. Are you a fan ?

Her philosophy was brought in to the debate to illustrate the failing ‘psyche’ of Britain. We were told by several posters it was where it all started. I mentioned her anti state philosophy in my post you quoted. It is Liz Truss low taxation economics with the wealthy contributing through...

There is quite a lot of misunderstanding of Thatcherism on this thread. Her philosophy was anti state not anti charity. It lives on in America where I have seen wealthy philanthropists claiming in debate that they should choose the causes for which they donate their money rather than pay tax and...

Well, no. However it is also not clear that they did it because of the ‘psyche of this country,’ as asserted by the OP. So yes, we probably need a little more information….

Very much this. The news is full of all sorts of crap that we would never have heard of before social media.

It’s just too much of a generalization. I too have lived abroad (several times) and have met good and bad everywhere. The sense of self reliance is much greater in Asia for instance but so too is the sense of community. There are even big regional differences within the UK. My experience is not...

Perhaps it would be worthwhile finding out who did it before speculating about why they did it ?
