Work permits a dumb idea for high tech workers
Barbara Roche, Home Office minister has said that they (Westminster) may
start to introduce US-Style work permits to attract foreign talent in to
the "UK", which now has an awful skill (as well as petrol shortage...).
She said "One approach would be to make the system even more
market-based by making a work permit contingent primarily
on a job offer at a sufficiently high level rather than seeking
to identify employment sectors with shortages,"
The morons in Westminster don't understand that all the best people
leave Scotland and England because the taxes are too high, the fuel costs
are too high, the standards in education and healthcare have dropped and the
economy is bound to the stupid pound.
Make the country more attractive to your OWN people then you wouldn't need
work permits. The H1 system in the US does also cause race and union
problems.
