"Let Us Take Back Control Of Our Borders"

[gulliver1]

Rishi Sunak has confirmed he will offer thousands of young Indians the right to live and work in Britain as he prepares to meet the country's
PM Narendra Modi at the G20 Summit. This scheme will start next year starting with allowing 3,000 young Indians into Britain between the age of 18 and 30 .

Yes, with visas and controlled.

So that is how is should work - in control of our borders and let in who we want and only them.

So what is your point?

[jno]

well, that's control. I suspect it will make no difference to the number of young Indians who arrive, but at least each one of them will get little Rishi Approved stamps on the back of their hands.

[naomi24]

That is controlled. They are being invited.

and has it never happened before?

Fear not, the slum dogs won't make the shortlist.

Douglas, you have a very thought provoking turn of phrase.

'Untouchables' if you please!

[Gromit]

Er, is ‘t this just yet another u-turn?

That is exactly the system we had until 18 months ago when Patel closed the door resulting in a skill shortage and complaints from the CBI?

// Karan Bilimoria, the president of the CBI, said the immigration system needed to be updated to reflect the labour shortages. “Where there are clear, evidenced labour shortages, businesses should be able to hire from overseas. An evolving shortage occupations list could help. //

^That's never been in question, has it? As far as I'm aware it's always been so.

[ZebuSanctuary]

// Where there are clear, evidenced labour shortages //

Is it not a pity that a growing UK population cannot keep pace with the burgeoning number of jobs in the workplace?

[gulliver1]

There is a labour shortage in the UK .

I would very much doubt we have 100% of those of employable age and able to work being in employment. And if we don't then there is no shortage of labour that has to be addressed by inviting others to come here.

Allowing others in probably bears giving the public a genuine explanation; what tit for tat agreement was reached ?

It's not ..... Brexit ...... is it? Oh flipping heck, Gulliver. If only you'd mentioned it before!!

I understand your sentiment.

However if those that arrive here already have certain skill sets, does this not benefit the UK in that, lengthy terms (years) of training and associated costs are avoided?

what's the problem with this? we need the labour.

Naomi @ 10.45.These immigrants are not coming by boat they will be flown in and no doubt the tax payer will pick up the bill. Is this the start of the new .

[Bobbisox1]

I say if these young Indian folk have nursing ,Doctors or any other skills needed, great , let them in, at least they’ll put something back in the economy not like the near 50,000 Albanian economic migrants who think they’re on a freebie here, that there is the difference Mr G !

I know, Gulliver, and that's marvellous because they're the ones we want. Now where are my sweets? I want good British sweets mind. Don't you be fobbing me of with any of that foreign muck!

[Peter Pedant]

um what is this thread about

has the aryan bank reconstituted ?

[naomi24]

Gulliver, careful. PP seems to be getting the wrong impression of you. Must be all these threads you post about foreigners.
