What sort of immigrants do we want?

Can't see the poll just yet.

I hope there's a "Fit and busty with a husky eastern bloc accent and low standards" option. I'd vote for that.

Why are the 1.2m Brits in Austrailiam 750,000 in the US, 670,000 in Canada and 380,000 in Spain called Ex-Pats; while the 688,000 Poles in the UK are called immigrants?

Err, that is because that's what you call someone who emigrates (leaves) vs an immigrant (arrives)?

Crap poll. You can be skilled without being highly educated, and still of benefit to the country. Builders, for example.

Most builders I talk to nowadays are highly educated. Not sure what kind of cowboys you use.

Dear suity, a Big Issue seller near my local Waitrose is more educated than you...
