    And how many of them breed way above replacement rate once they arrive. I wish I was in charge so I could sentence you to live out the rest of your life in central Birmingham for your thought crimes against the indiginous

    so you don't see that if those 2 million immigrants over the last 10 years hadn't come the fall in GP numbers would have far less impact? As a starting point at 60 GPs per 100,000 - those 2000000 new immigrants in the last ten years need 1200 GPs. How is that logic wrong? Think before you reply.

    from the BBC report An analysis by the Nuffield Trust think tank for the BBC shows the number of GPs per 100,000 people has fallen from nearly 65 in 2014 to 60 last year. The fall in GPs from 64.9 per 100,000 to 60 per 100,000 means the average doctor now has 125 more patients to look after than they did in 2014. The Nuffield Trust believes another 3,500 GPs would be needed to get the NHS back to where it was in 2014. There are just over 42,000 working currently, down by nearly 1,500 in four years. Now, to say immigration has nothing to do with this is ludicrous - the net migration alone between 2014 and 2018 would be approx 1million (yes 1000000) this is why the Nuffield are saying 3500 GPs needed to get the ratio back to 2014 levels, despite only 1500 GPs lost since 2014.

    Why can't you understand that importing several million extra people over the last 20 years has increased the strain on doctors and the NHS in general? Your first post seemed to say Brexiteers were unintelligent and spreading misinformation if they highlight the extra strain placed on GPs and the health service in general because of immigration. It's like your saying people who think immigration is causing problems with NHS capacity are just wrong. You say things like 'lying shitbags'.

    . In 2001 the population of the UK was estimated at 59.1 million, with 4.9 million (8.3%) foreign born. By 2011 the population of the UK had increased by 4.1 million to 63.2 million with the foreign born population at 8 million (12.6%). The population now stands at 65.6 million (mid-2017) So from 2001 to 2017 there was an increase of ~ 6.5 million people - all those new people clogging up GP surgeries and hospitals - the horror. The ratio of GPs per 1000 would have become stretched even without recent trends in early retirement etc.

    'In 2016, well over a quarter (28.2%) of live births in England and Wales were to mothers born outside the UK, the highest level on record.' Brexiteer scum!

    or at least you believe it has
  8. tree-fancier123
    so you don't see that importing an extra two million people over ten years will increase the strain on the NHS? the population has been rising markedly, but GP numbers haven't horeshit - you can't educate pork

    From the Office for National Statistics - Net migration continues to add to the population of the UK as an estimated 283,000 more people moved to the UK with an intention to stay 12 months or more than left in the year ending September 2018. Over the year, 627,000 people moved to the UK (immigration) and 345,000 people left the UK (emigration). That net figure of 280k has been similar for over 10 years - how many new doctors do you think are needed each time we import another 200000 people? Over the last 10 years the NHS should have added at least 2000 GPs, just to treat immigrants. Immigrants are the problem - even if 2000GPs were imported with every 2m new bods - they would be be adding to traffic conjestion, pollution and just making peoples lives worse

    Common knowledge apparently

    So the academic work that has been done - too dull and difficult to read? Rather get your opinions via Youtube?

    well he said 'they are all as bad as each other' reminds me of the line from George Orwell's 1984 edit sorry Animal Farm “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

    Why is it anymore shite than BBC? Both are more opinionated than factual

    Room for improvement in the sealing pruning wounds methodology. I appreciate there will always be snap outs during storms that will also be an entry for spores
  15. tree-fancier123
    Lucky you, I'd love to drop that. Fully insured
  16. tree-fancier123
    That big cedar you posted, mazegill, big laterals removed, huge pruning wounds at the trunk, if they'd painted the fresh cuts....
  17. tree-fancier123
    alternatives are available. I reckon epoxy mastic 2 pack paint would ruin your ropes just as well
  18. tree-fancier123
    What gets me is all the 'tree people' too tired to do the practical work. They are usually the ones who have read several hundred square metres of text and come to the conclusion that Arbrex won't protect pruning wounds from pathogen ingress. This is because they are 'up with' current thinking in tree biology and it makes them feel intelligent to regurgitate the received wisdom.

    Communism would have meant Stalin having the same standard of living as someone piling up the spoil in a tailings dam

    Black popular could be a good street tree with the right care?
  21. tree-fancier123
    What I was getting at is plane (and lime) seem very expensive street trees that will always require periodic removal of new growth. Why not use other species that aren't going to need cutting so much? Hardly anywhere has room for a mature lime or plane.
  22. tree-fancier123
    tree 'work' should include specifying and planting the street trees. Surely there are better options these days that don't need bits sawn off regular.
