How many people on here are aware of the new immigration policies that are being formulated by the government at the moment?

or alternatively, how many people on here know of the Conservative party's suggested policy?

Complaining is easy.

As is the usual case eh, everyone wants to bitch and moan but never know the full picture.

Anyway, you cant blame the influx of immigrants on the state of the NHS, according to everyone else its in a real bad state even though Ive been to the hospital twice this month with a suspected broken foot and broken ankle. X-Rayed and looked after very well all within the hour I was back out of the car park. Nothing but good things to say about the NHS although it does have its problems and always has had.

I wish it was only once: Third time now.

You asked how do I get affected by people in the UK not being able to speak English, my case is just a mere singular example. But non the less something that should be a simple, easy, relatively hassle free swap of details. And even that was literally impossible.

And my case is that you are not really impacted every single day by someone who struggles to speak English.

I am sure it was difficult but just of those things I guess.
