    A step in the right direction?

    or papering over the cracks?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7561880.stm

    UK firms needing to employ FTVs will not only have to prove a need, but will have to pay for a licence to employ them. The individual will also have to be vetted to show they meet the need.

    Shame they are not doing the same for intra company transfers.
    I think they should also put restrictions on how little these imports can be paid.

    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

          I'm such a cynic, but it couldn't possibly be that we have an election coming up where immigration is high on voters' agenda, and New Lie are trying to copy a certain popular right wing party's policies ?

            Or the corporate donations are drying up. The small fry in selected sectors are being punished as a warning to others to keep paying up.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
