Pretty amazing to hear that from May who was Home Office minister for such a long time and whose "purview" included points based "Australian like" system.
I suspect we are looking at a work permit / visa system that will provide more targeted control.Comment

This smells like a brexit thread.

There is even the official points calculator:

Obviously it's only official because I said so.

The Govt just got no clue what to do, including May who should know all about "Australian like" points based systems that were in use in UK for at least 10 years now.Comment

I think May has a good idea of what she wants.Comment

Originally posted by original PM View PostSo if you look closely at why we wanted to brexit
1) Not to have laws/civil liberties dictated to us by a central european government - ok that will be interesting but strangely euro government has been real quite since the vote
2) More control over our borders - ooh look that is not ' We must have a points based immigration system' but we want more control over our borders.
3) Not be a part of a club where we put more in than we take out and to use the money we save to help our NHS and other services.Comment

Speaking about the NHS - this is probably the single most reliant on imported permanent labour organisation in the UK. Try and implement a point based system that will disqualify half of the nurses and doctors based on age or education or what-not and see how it goes...
So if we wanted a million nurses, we could let nurses in.Comment
