James O'Brien's immediate reaction to the UK's new immigration system

and there's the points based

immigration

system

here, it's not really the Australian way but who cares, oh no one knows what that means, any more than no one really knows what points based ones mean. They were always blunt instruments designed to pummel facts with excitable feelings in this case. the feelings of being inundated or invaded or undermined or I'm not sure that your life is made worse by the presence of people who were not born yes, it's not even true that your life is made worse by the presence of people in this country, some people in this country and then we arbitrarily determine what ratings put them in that category, you know when I knew the game was 20/20?

In retrospect, it's a wonderful thing, but a lot of people in the metropolitan elite, oh, the way the metropolitan elites laugh at these new

immigration

rules, if the EU were totally reciprocal for these reasons, then obviously the high-income owners levels of education are not going to lose any freedom of movement, they or possibly we, although I am not a polyglot, will be. We can move wherever we want, but if you make less than $25k a year and the EU reciprocates in some way, we won't be retiring to Spain anytime soon without passing a Spanish exam, you'd be fine with that when hmm, Bess.

Do you know TWO? Are you friendly in English? Please, I don't know and what is a low-skilled worker in your opinion? I wonder how many people will call me and tell me they are low-skilled workers because I find that phrase really off-putting. Really disgusting if the people currently caring for your very sick grandpa are low-skilled workers, what message are we sending them today as they prepare to wipe asses and prepare medications for minimum wage? Well, I'll tell you what message we're sending them. You are not welcome here today, what message are we sending to the people who ensure the free flow of food from the fields to the market?

Yes, you are not welcome here, what message are we sending to the people who hinder what is left of the industry in this country? Now much of it, of course, is within the service sector rather than the manufacturing sector, so what message are we sending to the people who wait on our tables and serve our drinks? Yes, you are not welcome here. What message is this government sending you? Because it is very possible that you will. Be welcome here, could you have bloomed? Well born here, but how do you feel this morning finding out that you are inferior to me because you don't earn more than $25,000 a year in the eyes of this government?

You are an inferior member of society. They are less welcome here than I am because the measures they have implemented to keep the anti-immigration lobby happy apply to the people and you, although obviously people are interested in you temporarily forgetting it, you are people, you are a person, so today you are Rules apply to foreigners, but what are the rules? Well, the rules determined how welcome you are. You came here at 18 with ambitions and dreams, but without a job, you are not welcome. You come here and see your own daughter become Home Secretary. Well, yeah, sorry, under these rules you wouldn't be welcome, as Nick Ferrari pointed out earlier when he was talking to the beautiful Patel, so who exactly do you think these proposals aren't designed to delight?

Because the other story in the news this morning that I think needs to be included in any contemplation of Britain's new immigration reforms is that a record number of people on workers' wages are finally surpassing the pre-EU peak. crisis, so two little episodes from the past distracted me a little bit in telling you when I knew the The game was over I knew the game was over and I interviewed a congressman from a coastal town, Kip, friend, and I read the census about how I told you this at that time. I read the census for your constituency, something like 97 or so. percent of what we would call indigenous, there was even some evidence that of the two percent of non-indigenous people in that constituency or people of foreign heritage there was some statistic about the likelihood that they would have been European, so I remember that and talking about legitimate concerns of my constituents and said: "Well, I've looked at the census.

Your constituents don't have any legitimate concerns about immigration. They live in one of the poorest areas of the UK and have been more or less unaffected by immigration." ". and complained to the BBC that he didn't get very far with the complaint nor did he get much further in his policy, but that's when I realized that these are posh right-wing middle class people who claim that the poor fired the abandoned members of our The country is suffering from immigration instead of suffering from politics, from decisions and then from austerity. Ten years of austerity, everything is getting worse, but we are still told to celebrate the fact that the number of people in work hit a record high in the last quarter. last year, so why are we being asked to simultaneously celebrate the fact that a record number of people are working but also the fact that we are now going to start turning away workers?

This confuses me a little, just as I am confused about who precisely would be in favor of Spanish tests for the British retreating to the Coast.
