Reply to: Australian-style points system...

[WTFH]

You mean the system where anybody regardless of education, age, skills, qualifications, health or criminal background is legally allowed to enter and live in this country and have access to all medical facilities as long as they are from the EU?

We don't currently have that system, even if you've been brainwashed into believing otherwise.

For secondary care services, the UK’s healthcare system is a residence-based one, which means entitlement to free healthcare is based on living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being....
Individuals who are not ordinarily resident in the UK may be required to pay for their care when they are in England. However, some services and some individuals are exempt from payment.

What’s wrong with such a system?

Sounds great to me, and you - stoopid fookers taking it away

I joke about Johnson in the other forum that can't be named.

There's a forum that cannot be named?

The special stuff, or just regular all-purpose....?

You emigrated to Hungary, did you?

Boris Johnson promises Australian-style points system for immigration

This system is already in place - for at least 10 years

A points system should be family based.
I get 100 points for my IT skills.
My wife and son stay in Belgium as I go back every weekend so no points added or deducted.
Non EU gets 100 but his wife has no skills and his 3 children need 3 school places
400 points deducted.
Total points -300

We had a points based system that the Tories dismantled when they came to power. It was called HSMP. It allowed scores of highly skilled migrants to fly into UK without a job and start taking up any job that was on offer at any cost. Many even came in with fake points based off fake certificates. I have interviewed highly skilled migrants with an expected salary of 20k! It was a complete mess.
The only difference this time seems that Boris wants to allow these chaps to only come in if they have a job offer. I can only see this ending in disaster. Lots of umbrella companies will spring up offering fake jobs to IT guys so they can flood in and drive down our rates even further.

Whereas you give the impression of having been hosed off the floor of a battery chicken warehouse.

That would certainly explain how you got in...

Of course - they just hand wave visas in UK consulates to anybody who asks
