Britain is to close its borders to unskilled workers and those who can’t speak English as part of a fundamental overhaul of immigration laws that will end the era of cheap EU labour in factories, warehouses, hotels and restaurants.
Unveiling its Australian-style points system on Wednesday, the government will say it is grasping a unique opportunity to take “full control” of British borders “for the first time in decades” and eliminate the “distortion” caused by EU freedom of movement.
....
A 10-page briefing document outlining the new immigration policy states:
• UK borders will be closed to non-skilled workers – and all migrants will have to speak English.
• Anyone wanting to come to the UK to work must have a job offer with a salary threshold of £25,600 – though a salary “floor” of £20,480 will be acceptable in special cases where there might have a skills shortage skills, such as in nursing.
• There will be no route for self-employed people coming into the UK, spelling the end to, for example, Polish plumbers or Romanian builders arriving without a job.
• Border control will no longer accept ID cards from countries such as France and Italy. This, it is understood, is an attempt to clamp down on non-EU workers beating the system with forged ID cards.
• The skills threshold for foreign nationals wanting to work in the UK will be lowered from degree to A-levels or their equivalent. The cap on the numbers of skilled workers is being scrapped – and a small number of highly skilled workers will be allowed to come in without a job.
• The right of artists, entertainers, sports people and musicians to enter for performances, competitions and auditions will be retained.

Must read link: German “humanitarian” learns truths about Muslims.......to her infinite regret.
She enumerates all the negatives we’ve observed for years.
Too bad she got woked the hard way....thru horrendous personal experiences.
If I may provide some information from locals:
> Moldova technically is Romania - this was a chunk of Romania grabbed by the USSR as payment after WWII. It retained 66% Moldovans but had also Gagauz (An Eastern Orthodox TURKIC group), Ukrainians etc.
> They are even more over-run by oligarchs than ukraine. THAT is the primary reason preventing them from unifying with Romania
> The secondary reason is that the Transdniester (east of the dniester river) region is a separate de-facto state, created by Russia. If Moldova reunites with Romania, it will have to de facto give it up.
> Moldova is dirt poor - so the people go outside to work
> the population was small in 1990 - 2.5 million and is now 2 million
> there is no “white flight” - nearly everyone is technically “white”
> The number of ethnic Moldovans has increased as Transdniester with Ukrainians and Gagauz is not included. Also, many Ukraianian ethnics have moved to Ukraine as the economy is better there!?!
For the majority who voted LEAVE in Brexit, Polish plumbers WERE the problem, not Muslims.
Voting Leave didn’t and doesn’t change the immigration of Muslims to the UK
She, before she learnt better, was a perfect example of how deluded and ignorant much of the Christian world is about Islam.
Especially the “refugees” - who were the ones who ran from secular Assad? Muslim fanatics.
The secular Syrians - the good people - stayed in Syria and sided with Assad.
What if they are muslims from Poland :)
Ha, like eskimos in south Sudan

Too little, too late.
As P.J. O’Rourke said, God invented Peat because he knew the Celts were the only people who would get so drunk that they would try to burn mud...
Correct
True, unfortunately.
You might want to study up a little bit on the Polish people.

I have no idea what that means. Did you misinterpret my previous post? I have a great admiration for the Polish people, and it would be very difficult to move me off of that position.
As with here, what should have been done all alone. Easier of course, post-Brexit.
Kindly go back and take a look. Someone else called them third world parasites. In my post, I said “I think not.”
No worries! Even though you aimed at the wrong target (something I have done often), I admire your spirited defense of the Polish people.
As a side note, I am of Hungarian descent. As you probably know, the Hungarians and the Poles have shared much unfortunate history over the centuries. There is an old Hungarian saying: “Hungarians and Poles drink from the same cup.”
