Britain is to close its borders to unskilled workers and those who cant 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.

Boo Hoo girl is sad!
Someone inform the UK that the damage has already been done, gg. /s
It will keep Poles out, but I bet it won’t keep a single Muzzie out.
too little too late for the UK - overrun by muzzies, poles and other third-world parasites.
How are Commonwealth countries affected?
Every ethnic group has its share of bums. But Poles are third-world parasites? I think not.
Now they close the barn door.
Such incredible insight...
Bout time...
what they really need to stop is Pakistan/Mid-east family chain-migration.
Are those rules being fixed as well?
Poles certainly weren’t parasites in 1940, when their pilots were saving Britain’s bacon.
“too little too late for the UK - overrun by muzzies, poles and other third-world parasites.”
Poles are 3rd world parasites?
If I recall all muslims are only about 10% pop of Uk and Europe in general .
What is our population of Hispanics? 30%
We are the ones being over run not Europe.
My exact thought.
> Poles certainly werent parasites in 1940, when their pilots were saving Britains bacon. <
And they werent parasites when they turned back the Muslim Turks at the Battle of Vienna (1683).
And they werent parasites when they turned back Lenins Red Army at the Battle of Warsaw (1920).
The West owes the Poles a great debt.
Too little, too late. The UK is gone, as much of Europe is and will be.
Canada has had a points system for decades. Are they saying the UK just let whomever in without scoring them?
Stupid me it took a few moments for this to sink in. This is a result of Brexxit. Now Britain has full control of its borders again.
Polish plumbers aren’t the problem.
Too little... Too late...
On the other hand, in a key moment of American civilization, the Polish and other Central Europeans turned the U.S. Upper Midwest/Great Lake states into the industrial powerhouse of the world. So U.K., if you don't want the Poles, we'll take some more. Poles and Coal. Maybe they can help us resurrect Buffalo, Toledo and Detroit.
No, Polish plumbers arent the problem.
The enemies are already inside the gates and running London, and who knows what else. Sweden’s gone, Germany’s gone, France is nearing its tipping point, etc etc etc.
