Oh please let us in!

The cry beloved by those who want the "in through the backdoor" immigration fiddle known as the HSMP (Highly Skilled Migrant Programme) reinstated,

This discredited scheme allowed thousands and thousands of people (and their dependants!!) that had no right whatsoever to reside in the UK to enter and remain on the most spurious of reasons.

But acording to supporters of the HSMP........

The new points-based immigration system will not be enough to ensure sufficient numbers of high-skilled workers come to Britain, while a hostile atmosphere will deter others, according to a report.

The Work Foundation, a not-for profit organisation, warned that Britain could lose out to other countries and face a shortage of "knowledge workers" in the future -- those involved in the IT, healthcare, science and technology fields -- unless the government acts.

We have many able people in the UK we do NOT need any more external labour, what we need is the political will to stop depending on foreigners for the quick fix business claims is essential!


Of course the government needs to act but NOT in the manner these self interested people want.

The government of the UK need to give our education and social security systems a 100% reform, they need to make parents responsible for their children, they need to remove the benefits only lifestyle option.

And they need to offer proper financial incentives to business to train young people in skills they require.

Lets face it this whole shambles has proved business in the UK prefers to import a quick fix rather than invest in training UK personnel and the government run schemes are nothing more than a mechanism for massaging unemployment figures.
