The secret immigration policy they tried to hide | Talking Politics - Yahoo!

In fact Trade Commission staff have admitted that the EU/India FTA is, in effect , 85% a UK deal.

Yep, other countries seem to be a little more interested in the interests of their own people rather than the companies in which the politicians will be taking positions when they leave politics.

Within the supposedly 'capped' UK points based system for labour migration, the government has ensured that the categories relevant to trade commitments have no numerical limits.

That's true, it was one of the first things Dave did, but spun in a way that sounded as if he was setting immigration limits. He's the spawn of Blair indeed.

One for DimPrawn:

and similarly Ukip, which has two members on the INTA but actually supports the concept of temporary labour from outside the EU being brought in by transnational corporations.

And yet people still vote for these people, of whichever party, every 5 years.

and interesting info in the comments of that story:

This happens all over the World . My son jumped through hoops and paid good money to get an Australian visa. But when he got there all the jobs were taken up by Koreans brought in on special visas and working for half the normal wage rate. Where ever you go you will be screwed by big corporations. Murdoch is not the only Business man spending time in Downing street Dictating policy.

So, we've got enough biology teachers, vets, ortopists (?), electricity workers and orchestral musicians.

"Biology teachers outlawed".

Mining geotechnical engineers and geochemists also make the list. "
