UK screams: Send us useless immigrants please!

[varsovian]

Gary Douglas, a 45 year old computer engineer with 20 years' experience, sold
his business, home and car in New Zealand to settle in England under the
Government's Highly Skilled Migrant Programme(HSMP). In return for the right
to live, work and remain there he signed a declaration saying he would make
Britain his main home - and indeed that is what he did. His 15 year old son
is currently studying for his GCSEs.
But suddenly, ministers changed the rules and applied them retrospectively,
so that Mr Douglas and 45 000 people like him no longer qualify for
residency. They now have to qualify under a new points system weighted
towards qualifications, youth, income and time in fixed employment. Those
who run their own business but do not have 6 months orders on their books are
caught out. Although he has English as his first language, he doesn't even
meet the new mandatory English requirement!!
He is now facing deportation.
His MP has taken up the case, lawyers have been instructed and the government
is determined to spend taxpayers' money on losing in court.
What sort of message is being sent by the UK government?

I wonder if the UK governmnet thinks of applying the same thinking towards the
Muslims living in that country.

in what other country in the world can you read the news and everyday (well,
almost) think to yourself "that's the most retarded thing i've ever heard!" and
with every day it *is*! more and more so!

And back in the dark days of Communism, my Polish girlfriend had tremendous
problems every time she tried to get a UK visa to come and see me - I even had
to get my MP involved after one visa application took 1 year - whereas her
friends who came to work illegally never had any problems at all.

Anything in the UK to do with immigration control is crazy - the Home Office
recently discovered that one section head, accused of demanding sex in return
for visas, was actually an illegal immigrant!! And they had illegal immigrants
cleaning their buildings ...

The message is, that it's better to be a thick and lazy useless moron with a
criminal tendency than to be one of the elite. If you are one of the elite,
then we are out to get you, but morons 'r' us.

Another good reason to stop living there.

He should try Poland instead.

Bloody ridiculous, but so typical of this government. The sooner they are out,
the better.
