    “no limit” on the number of Indian nationals who can come to study & work" -Cameron

    In an interview with India’s Sunrise TV before his trip, Mr Cameron said he wanted to make sure that Indians are not put off coming to the UK.

    The fact is today, as we stand, and this is going to be the case going forward, there is no limit on the number of students who can come from India to study at British universities, no limit at all,” he said.

    “All you need is a basic English qualification and a place at a British university. And what’s more, after you’ve left a British university, if you can get a graduate-level job there is no limit to the amount of people who can stay and work, or the time that they can stay at work
    .”
    According to the Home Office, only foreign graduates earning at least £20,000 are permitted to stay in the UK. Officials insisted Mr Cameron’s words did not mark a change in that policy.
    Immigration: David Cameron urges Indians to come to 'welcoming' Britain - Telegraph

    A stagnant economy, rampant overcrowding. Falling living standards across the board. And now this. Insane. Just totally insane.

    when was this specific quote said?

    I know he said similar stuff and worse in India a fair while ago

    and Francis Maude specifically promised the Indian outsourcers that the ICT visas would remain uncapped before the election

    and of course Mr Tata is on Cameron’s "business advisory committee"

              there is a book in the shops of failed exam answers. one goes like:

              How can an individual citizen affect the political process?

              and the answer was:

              1 vote and 2 blow up parliament

              considering that immigration is still the voters number one concern its amazing that all the leading parties can get away with stuff like this

              we need more democracy not this sham

                  There is perception, rightly or wrongly, that foreign students are necessary to subsidise our higher education system.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    Quite.

                    Though they do have to "graduate" to get "graduate" level jobs.
