Europe hands UK 20,000 more Indian IT workers every year, says leaked document

WHS. The Tories have redefined immigrants as "...those non-EU people who are no use to our mates, the people running large companies, from whom we expect to earn lucrative directorships when we are forced out of politics".
Under those definitions, IT workers and ICT people are not immigrants.

You keep saying that like some retard. Are you trying to tell us you're a racist or that you're getting benched?

It's still in place. It just excludes any immigration that would add to that figure. i.e. a big lie.

Yeah I was being sarcastic.

Wrong.
Guessing by the amount of replies to your posts you must be the village idiot.

Given that India are not within the ECC any Indian worker partaking in employment within the ECC requires a Work permit/Visa....guess that makes them immigrants.

ICT will be excluded from the 'cap', but AFAIK they still have to appear in the Net Migration figures.
Immigration Minister Damian Green has actually confirmed that achieving net migration in the tens of thousands was a cast iron commitment from the government.

If you look at recent figures for inward migration that contribute to net migration, you'll see that ICT (under Tier2) is only a small piece of the pie.

I thought the cap applied to ICTs? This new army is in addition to and not limited by the ICT quotas?
