I think my favourite comment I've seen was a long the lines of "Why would I, having spent X years studying for a Phd to be the top of my field, want to come to your shitty racist little Island?" :slol:

You mean 50 essential points?

I think the language of "Approved Sponsor" is worrying as well. So basically only employers that are "Approved" by the government will count, so even if you have a job offer if the employer isn't on the list then it basically won't count?

Even if my employer is an approved sponsor, I wouldn't qualify under that.

I think I'd be ok. Although I'm touch and go on the English of appropriate level bit.

This is a poor decision which will backfire. There's no thought put into it.

It might backfire on the country, but the Tories will continue to get that racist vote. And that's all that matters to them.

I love how "designated shortage job" is a thing when what we'll lack is low paid workers which is what they're blocking.

It's because people don't want 'other' people coming over here and taking the jobs they've no intention of doing.

But students, stay at home parents and people who've taken early retirement are bound to take all those low skilled jobs. That's what the governments said anyway.

The fields and toilets will be filled with retired people, they love back-breaking labour picking strawberries and cleaning bogs for minimal pay :toot:

It's about time we made people with drug addiction issues work in care homes where there's plenty of drugs.
