Bit confused why you keep going on about why the UK should adopt a points based immigration system, considering the fact that the UK already does adopt a points based migration system and has done for over 10 years?

 

Especially confusing considering how under the points based system, non-EU net migration has steadily risen from 150,000/yr in 2013 to 261,000 in 2018, compared to EU net migration (free movement) at only 57,000 last year. So 82% of net migration is already through our points based system, but applying the same system to the remaining 18% is the "blinding obvious" answer? The claim that it is a "demonstrably affective system of controlling the number" is a bit questionable.

Well, there are points based systems designed or intended to favour those with skills to offer,

and UN type points based systems designed and intended to favour the most; dispossessed/unpassported/uneducated/unwanted/lying/young/male etc etc etc, etc etc.

Ah kin kinda guess which system the uk has most likely got.

As he said, he doesn't have a diseased mind. Maybe those claiming racism need to be looking a lot closer to home.

I follow him on twitter and thought the photo was ill judged.

 

I am sure he meant nothing racist by it, but as he says himself it’s brought the vampires to the party.

 

He is persona non grata for a few months, hopefully he’ll be back soon, I’m a big fan of his radio show.

My own take on the subject is the one taking the piss is our boy Harry...

 

I like the fella but somethin tellls me he's attempting to mock the royal family by the life choices he's made of late..      explains why its been put about he's to be shipped abroad, out the way.   

 

As to Danny Baker, what a nob..   not to mention a liar..  I think he knew what he posting as much as Harry knows what he's doing..   both taking the piss out the royal family...

Mega gaff from a veteran public entertainment figure. 

 

Either massively naive and genuine or intentionally going out on a bang. 

 

Couldnt really give a monkeys either either way, don’t really know who he is. 

 

I saw the gingerist picture which was mildly amusing - but as a private citizen I’m less constrained (or interested / bothered) by apparent public outrage.

Were the tea chimps a symbol of colonial exploitation - of tea and chimps?
