smelling roses and thrifty gardening in the pnw
Pinned
🧵 During the pandemic we decided make five wide flowerbeds along the edges of our lawn. Our criteria was low $ and I wanted a lot of perennial color. I’d grown veggies for 15 years but my experience with flowers was buying assorted annuals and perennials in pots and crossing my fingers 🤞🌱

It's not just the NHS (though that's a huge component) most care facilities rely on immigrant labor. Babies, seniors, you name it, and there's a layer of the labor force in the West (US, UK, Canada, etc) that is composed almost entirely of immigrants from lower income countries.
The elephant in the room when it comes to UK immigration discourse these days is the NHS. Immigrants are the lifeblood of the system, and across the spectrum the political class is quite simply in denial about the impact some of the policies being proposed would have on hospitals.
