It IS racist to worry about "foreign" nurses - a reply to Dr Max Pemberton

Max Pemberton's Daily Mail comment piece “It's NOT racist to worry about foreign nurses” is a truly shameful article of writing. Using the deranged actions of a single individual who happens to be Filipino as an excuse to mount a vicious, scapegoating and largely evidence-free defence of racist attitudes is just lazy journalism. And coming from Pemberton - usually one of the few medical commentators in the Tory press who's willing to actually defend the NHS - it's a double kick in the teeth'.
