So Brian could be correct in his assertion. Let's face it, when it comes to immigration in this country and what the 'common man' says about it, first he is called a racist for saying it, then he is ignored, then what he has been saying becomes accepted as a self evident truth.
I therefore expect that in a decade or so, the government will release a report showing that immigration did indeed impact negatively on the NHS.

Hell, we already have local authorities begging for more money to fund the schooling of all the extra non English speaking kids that they've been lumbered with.
