Erm .. actually it's not that there aren't enough UK born people entering health care training (I'm talking Uni places for doctors & nurses), it is a fact that there are not enough tertiary places for them at Uni / Poly. Why ? Because the tertairy institutions get more money for training foreign students !!

Partly correct .. only the 'water' bit of your analogy isn't actually flavourless, it has a distinctly foreign flavour which will inevitably overwhelm the orange.
