You dozy old twat! You think my missus is going to voluntarily pose for photos for me to post on an Internet site, like this?? <laugh>

They're private photos, Pete. She'd strangle me if she knew I'd put them on here before!...

I understand. You don't want to publish photos of your "internet wife" or redacted bank statements to show your "internet wealth".
But you are willing to show your lack of brain power - maybe you are something of a modest guy at least!?

Same reasons I've mentioned several times, and posted links to support.

Our system is finite, immigration from the EU is uncontrolled, so we need to control numbers elsewhere.

And round and round we go...

The non EU immigration cap was devised set and brought in by the UK - fact

The tier 2 limit was installed by the Tory lead coalition - fact

It's supposed aim was to encourage uk employers to train their own rather than import skilled labour - fact

It was a fatally flawed ideal, as your 2,700 nurses example ironically proves, as it offered no flexibility for common sense to prevail

All true. But it was brought about because we couldn't cap immigration in other areas.

It was/is certainly flawed from many different angles.

They didn't invest in education to provide the opportunities to train local people, and didn't invest enough in health to create the opportunities.

Don't jump the gun just yet. I would estimate another two years to go. Then there will be crying and wailing and demands for another referendum. But the more sensible people will see how much better things are getting in the UK and how the EU is falling apart.

You can't even think of a single policy that's sensible Pete. That's why the Deputy Leader of your Party is looking for a coup to take out the incumbent incompetent in charge.

Only for that to be true, then post Brexit you'd expect the numbers to increase eh?

Not seemingly what the likes of Davis and his fellow pro Leave colleagues have in mind.

The rest I agree with <yikes>, as that's exactly why it was flawed as it was a sticking plaster policy that didn't tackle the root cause of the problem, and it's motives were dubious, as it was a far right appeasing policy that stood up to little scrutiny.

I wouldn't necessarily expect numbers to increase, no.

I agree with the rest though. Definitely a poor policy pushed through for the wrong reasons.
