NHS a medical drain on other countries

THE holier-than-thou BBC used its Today programme (November 15) to orchestrate the notion that Qatar exploited the health and well-being of its imported labour from much poorer countries. Then went on to highlight the shortages of trained medical staff in the NHS, completely ignoring the fact that every foreign-trained nurse and doctor they recruit adversely affects the health and well-being of those in the country that trained them, in most cases people who urgently need medical care far more than we do.

In both cases the richer believe they should have priority over the poorer. Didn’t someone once create the idiom “the pot calling the kettle black”?
