A Grey Peace Corps

We're stealing badly needed nurses from developing countries to prop up the NHS. Probably it should be stopped.

But then again, migrant workers send £44 bn to their home countries, which is more than development aid.

Jagdish Bhagwati proposes that instead we plug the skills gap in developing countries by sending our early-retired professionals over there. more

Comments:
Perhaps we could send our early retired traffic wardens to the Democratic Republic of Congo?

I hear that Brazzaville has high levels of congestion and pollution.
