'Immigrants and their desendants keep the NHS afloat' Fareena Alam

If you believe the comments of 'journalist' Fareena Alam, the NHS would collapse without recent/2nd generation immigrants. Forward the video to 7.24 to hear her wisdom.

A brief amount of research into which groups cost the NHS more suggests a different reality.

1. More than 80% of people with Aids come from Africa.

7. The cost of diabetes to the National Health Service stands at approximately £1 million per hour, and is increasing rapidly, a new report indicates. As many as 2.75 million people in the UK now have diabetes, the latest figures show.

Not surprisingly Fareena writes a column in the Guardian newspaper. The other issues which affect the health service are perhaps harder to prove. Have immigrants poor hand washing standards contributed to, or created, super bugs in our hospitals? Is Arthur Kemp speaking rationally when he suggests female Muslim staff, refusing to wash their forearms, is a conduit for infection and the spread of pathogens? Bearing in mind super bugs are a post enrichment phenomenon i would advance that he is . ic1male.
