A new day is dawning

What an interesting day it's going to be. The Poms are changing their immigration system. The BBC reports that they are implementing stage 1 of their four stage plan for immigration at present those HIGH skilled workers already inside the country who want to extend their stay can now do so using a new points based system.

I hope that by what they are doing they are not dooming the existence of the very British institutions that they have protected for all these years!

"By the end of 2008, every graduate with good English, on £40,000 or the local equivalent, will potentially have enough points to seek work in the UK.

But low skilled workers from outside the EU will be barred for the foreseeable future. The government believes it can fill all manual work vacancies from EU countries which, with the exception of Romania and Bulgaria, face no restrictions on working in the UK.

That is all very interesting news!
