Regarding UK immigration: Do you think the home office will restrict Tier 2 to shortage occupations only?
The home office has asked David Metcalf, the head of MAC to research if Tier 2 work permits could be restricted to shortage occupations only (occupations that are in short supply of applicants)? Do you think they would economically be able to do this or would this be feasible? Surely even if a job is not on the shortage list, there could very well be a shortage of applicants, even in the economic quagmire we are in.

Well Canada and Australia do something very similar so it is achievable and should be brought in asap.

It’s just another shabby ploy to give the impression they give a damn about mass immigration. All they care about is providing a cheap source of labour for their mates in business, while driving the rest of us into low wage slavery or onto the dole.
They’ve had 11 years to do something about it, but they wait until the run up to an election to roll out a few fake solutions like the Borders Agency and expect us to buy it.
Lame.

dont blame the dog for eating the steak you left on the floor! this labour government and their open door immigration policy will be more responsible for more BNP success than any of their campaigns could possibly dream off.
their unwillingness to respect any public opinion will just end up with protest voting and possibly worse.
the main party’s realise this we know, as they have been releasing adverts designed to make the voter feel guilty,
to deter protest voting.
