    Tories to business: donate more or else

    That must be the message given Damian Green’s quotes from today.

    ''Certainly we cannot assume that everyone coming here to work has skills that the UK workforce cannot offer.

    ''In any case, we will not make Britain prosperous in the long term by telling our own workers, 'don't bother to learn new skills, we can bring them all in from overseas'.''
    Sminki

    Once donations rise a bit, business will hear no more of such talk and be allowed to operate as before.
    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.

    They look at student visas - a lot of them certainly come to this country with a view to stay long (legally or otherwise), even more would like this country and would want to stay (like in my case), no business that gives money to Tories would get those students as workers - they are way below the scale of those big guys.

    Now ICTs is totally different matter, you can see that by observing that there is no threat to deal with them.

    Stick to dirty spekulation - at least in that area you've some clues...

      Er, um

      Could you be ......, nah, can't be true.

      You nearly sounded like you were admitting that someone else also had knowledge of a subject that you pontificate about.

        Let's just say you are on "the other side" when it comes to that subject.

          As in those that know about a subject because they make a living out of it, and those that spout a load of bollo?

            Criminals also make a living from crimes, knowing their "craft" inside out, that does not mean however that good citizens who refuse to take part in it are somehow wrong in condemning such practices and wishes their speedy eradication.

              This man talks sense.

              Quick, send him off to give the same lecture to the Football Association citing our pitiful performance in the World Cup!
