So you want me to convince myself that immigration is an issue?
You blame immigrants moving into the country causing what problem exactly? Too many NHS workers from foreign countries now, or too much competition for you when applying for roles?
This isn’t a serious contribution to the discussion. The overall level of NHS services would clearly be far lower (non-existent in some cases) without the contribution of immigrants.
Do you believe that foreigners should be allowed to practice as nurses with fake qualifications? Because the NHS does. As they were ACTIVELY working while the NHS knew about the forgery.
Do you have evidence that there is a widespread, institutional fake qualifications problem with native NHS nurses? Please provide evidence. This is what would show that foreign workers in the NHS do not drag down standards on average.
We’re not going to figure out a practical way to improve the NHS with this level of debate. We get that you don’t like foreign nurses, but I’m not going to respond to your rhetorical questions.
You put words in my mouth, that's a dishonest way of arguing :)
I never once said all foreign nurses or bad, nor did I say I dislike them. I pointed out widespread, institutional level fraud that puts patients at risk, exclusively by foreign NHS staff.
It's worrying you can't respond to the argument without strawmans. Is patient safety a concern for you or does politics trump it?
You know that the NHS crucially depends on immigrant doctors and nurses and that their contribution is overwhelmingly positive. Your original comment was a completely transparent attempt to derail the discussion with a single cherry picked example.
Foreign NHS workers can be 'overwhelmingly' competent AND still drag down standards on average due to widespread fraud. You seem to be avoiding any questioning of specific groups engaging in institutional fraud.
Is fraud a problem or not? Should we have standards at all? Does patient safety matter or should we let fake nurses put patients at risk KNOWINGLY?
There aren't anywhere near enough British nurses for the NHS to use only British nurses. Can you point to a credible long term plan to change that situation? That's what you'd do if you had a goal beyond just stirring up unjustified mistrust of foreigners.
MAGA cheerleader openly admires Trump's methods and personality and seeks their endorsement, and openly plans on making structures similar to abused in the US for human rights abuses already.
They're openly preparing to do exactly that.
And some of the tools (that wouldn't be necessary if not for Fartrage campaigning as well) fit very well in their plans.
What part exactly you consider clickbait and not foreboding?
I’ve been tempted to move my Gemini plan up to a higher plan and play around more with the Gemini cli - as I seriously live the Gemini chat for most everything. Claude is lazy af and is always pulling stale data, or not checking resources entirely. I literally have a Gemini mcp that I force close to use half the time when it’s lost, and Gemini nails it every single time.
I’m on a Claude max 20x plan right now, and I seriously can’t imagine not having it around anymore but Gemini seems to always have my back on actual current data and less hallucinations.
I do Salesforce - backend and frontend using Webstorm and Junie (and Salesforce specific plugins). It understands symbol table and can connect to Salesforce via MCP server for various things (retrieve missing metadata, create users, deploy, etc).
Funnily Junie detects when Gemini is overloaded (less and less often now) and switches to default model (openai). This is when you start thinking - why this code is so terrible, whats going on?
(apologies for all the typos in my original message)
That makes sense. Web is really where so many of these agents shine, I’m envious. I also imagine the huge context window for Gemini is a huge help with Salesforce work. I do iOS dev, so I have long felt trapped to Claude as it’s really the only agent that understands Xcode/Swift well enough for refactors and architecture. I just get so frustrated by Claude’s laziness and out of date information.
I honestly completely forgot Junie existed…I’m very tempted to see how far I can push it for iOS dev now…I’m sure Xcode is going to hate me even more ha.
Oh my god I’m so happy I caught this, even if it’s resolved.
I was pulling my hair out yesterday, kept checking the ppq site and was getting valid returns, but was in a doom loop of not being able to validate my certs. Issued 2 new ones before giving up.
As mentioned by others, frustratingly zero acknowledgment from Apple.
It’s a topic, but not an “issue”.
