It seems the left dislike Starmer because he’s tacking to the right, and the right dislike Starmer because he’s not Farage.

Thoughts?

    None of the changes made much sense. He raised the qualification bracket for jobs coming in from RQF 3 (A-Level) to 6 (Degree Level) but I don’t know who would be able to meet the insane threshold of 39k per year for a sponsorship with an RQF 3 job. As for shortening the time period for the graduate visas, doesn’t make sense, I don’t think that recent graduates are causing much of a problem.

    The problem I think most people have on the ground are the people who come in that aren’t civilised. They take advantage of systems to get in here, claim benefits, and commit crimes. Making it harder for the people who want to play by the rules isn’t going to help that. I think quality of immigrants is better than quantity. It would be better to let in 500,000 immigrants who want to work and contribute to the country and obey the law and eventually assimilate in some sense, versus 10,000 who want to take advantage of everything we offer and leech off of us and lower the quality of life and existing communities.

    I think racists are also too stupid to see the difference, either.

    The UK is basically already impossible to get into if you don’t have high paying specialised work, or the intention to study. The only alternative is to claim to be an asylum seeker… Which wouldn’t make any sense if you’re coming from France.
