Romania and Bulgaria
I am appalled by the underlying racism surrounding the decision to limit the number of unskilled workers to be allowed into the UK.
"Stop the Gypos!" is the message that John Reid is putting across, "They're all thieves".
But the *good* skilled workers such as Doctors, Lawyers and Accountants are allowed to come in without permits.
Pandering to racists and "little Englanders" is never going to result in a good policy, far less one that is workable. How long before we see those who look *foreign* being asked for work permits as they enter the UK?
What a waste of the limited resources that the Government has available, when they should be used to stop terrorism. After the success (sic) of stopping illegal immigrants getting into the UK via the Channel Tunnel, you would think that the light would dawn.
However, operational issues have no doubt overtaken by political imperatives.
