The cost of everything and the value of nothing

The Government released details of its points based immigration system this week.

It skews work visas to those with degrees, jobs over £25,600 a year and those with a guaranteed job.

Huge areas and sectors of the economy will be affected, adversely by this. Its not that fruit-picking, coffee making, changing beds and dressing in care homes don't matter.

This ignores the fact that people who come to work in the county in low paid jobs, stay in those jobs for life. The learn skills, go to college and night school on top of renting houses, paying taxes and NI contributions. It has been show my actual facts that immigration greatly benefits the country. But we're stopping that.

Its like there is only value in the ability to pass exams; or put it this way, driving an HGV or bus is low skilled. Clearly, Priti hasn't driven a delivery truck through London in rush hour. These are jobs with vocational skills. Many jobs are.

There are eight million economically inactive UK citizens she said. Well, they might be long term sick, disabled, retired? Thee are never simple solutions to complex problems.

The care industry has over 120,000 vacancies. If it were that simple to get the economically inactive to work, then these would be filled. But of course this is an industry that relies with so much on immigration to fill vacancies so our elderly have someone to look after them. Care was bad enough before the staffing crisis!

Industries like fish processing need immigrants to prepare fish for export.

Like, who'd have though it?

Oh year, remoaners.

Bastards.

Pressure will build from industry for alignment and opt-outs for these regulations, as reality and real life will come into play.

Meanwhile with the country having been lashed by storms week after week, and then submerged by floodwater, then the Prime Minister has gone missing. Maybe someone should look in the nearest fridge.
