"In fact the SNP is rather keen on encouraging immigration. I'd far rather have the right to live and work anywhere in the EU than be trapped in the UK with Boris Johnson as PM running second hand UKIP policies."
The SNP proposed plan is to encourage skilled workers (from outside the EU) using a controlled points-based system. That's quite a different policy position to the EU where EU citizens can freely live and work in any EU country. I doubt many people in the UK would object to the skilled immigration policy the SNP proposes. But, of course, we need workers of all skill levels. I agree that the rhetoric from the UKIP and Conservative party on this subject (and the toxic British Press) is often alarmist and inflammatory.
