@HebrideanHecate thing about this is we do absolutely need to crack down on this - there's two things wrong. 1. using the careworker visas to bring in women who end up working for illegal wages in other sectors and 2. conditions being so bad in care that only desperate immigrants can be made to fill the places.

there are so many care agencies, and care homes, that are owned and run by men (and some women) from India, various African countries who are here to exploit everyone concerned. The local authorities payments. the NHS payments. the families. And the workers can't leave one care home/agency to go to another better run, with better wages because the bosses act like the slavegang masters - with-holding passports, threatening to get them deported, keeping crews with very little English so they are dependant on the bosses for everything.

Set against that are plenty not like that at all of course, there's good an bad everywhere, but the push to make it an immigrant dominated profession should tell everyone there's a lot of dodgy shit goin on.

HOWEVER rescinding the visas does NOTHING AT ALL to address any of the actual shortages or problems with care sector. It's all very well saying we should be training people here, but at zero hours and shit money, no-one wants to do it.
