    Australian are letting migrants in like there's no tomorrow.

    Yep, they are strict on refugees but less so on migrants.

    I think the general idea is to have a points system that's tailored to the UK. Whatever we have now just doesn't work.

        The UK already has a points system, making it more like Australia would let even more migrants in so you need to find another example of a points systems that lets less people in.

        Good luck with that.



        The fact that Boris wants to copy the Australian points system means he's going to flood the place with immigrants.
        I'm alright Jack

          Are you really that mentally challenged, that you can't see - the PBS is based off demand for skills/occupations, therefore it can go up or down, depending on the circumstances...

          Anyway, as long as the PBS applicant limit is lower than 'unlimited FoM', then the PBS 'lets in less EU immigrants than before', as you put it.

          You absolute cretin

          PS. The UK only applies a PBS to Non-EU applicants, if Boris gets his way, it will be ALL applicants.
          (He literally said apply a PBS, to slow the influx of low-skilled EU workers in the article)

            All applicants, but not all immigrants.

                He just needs to make more immigrants not applicants, and job's a good 'un.

                    It’s already a points based system, just like in Australia!

                    That’s the fooking point

                      Ah, we have found the oracle - the one who can translate Boris’s words into what he actually means.
                      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
