I call BS on that. UK is quite open to LEGAL worker immigration from anywhere around the world. What's the big deal? I worked in UK for years and I'm not EU. Many Americans, Asians, Australians, etc. go through these channels without issue. After a few years they give you residentship. And shortly after that they give you citizenship.
It's crazy how this is all made to sound like UK is going to become Cuba or something. ALARMIST NONSENSE by radicalization and willful ignorance.
- mdekkers 10y agoUK is quite open to LEGAL worker immigration from anywhere around the world. lol, no it isn't - legal immigration from the EU is the main pillar of Brexit: "Stop all these people coming to live in our country."
- jcranmer 10y agoDidn't the Conservatives campaign in the last election about bringing legal immigration numbers down to <100K/year?
- MLR 10y agoNet migration, if you discount returning British citizens it currently sits at around 200,000 a year (500,000 gross), so it would be an approximate 20% reduction in non-British immigration. Or a 30% increase in emigration, but I doubt they're aiming for that.
- Anderkent 10y agoIt's a simple distinction: 1. You want to come work in London? Fill out all these forms, pay fees, prove that you're going to be useful, and we might allow you to stay 2. You want to come work in Berlin? Sure, come along. Do you see how the latter makes you feel much more welcome?
