Brown: Points-based immigration system is 'radical' change

In his weekly podcast, Gordon Brown has said the government's points-based immigration plans will "radically" change immigration by refusing entry to "people who cannot contribute to the economy in the way we need." He confirmed that no non-EU unskilled workers would be allowed into Britain "this year and for the foreseeable future".

the points based system does not apply to intra company transfer visas, which are used by the Indian outsourcers to flood the country with workers, who are then subcontracted onto large companies for slave wages, displacing brits from the workforce, and they go on to take the very skills that should keep this country leading back to Indian where they ruthlessly abuse this intellectual property they have stolen the slave trader indian outsourcers wipro, cognizant and so on should be kicked out of the country, they are NOT investing in the UK, and there is no shortage of these skills in Europe

Iain Gill

the Indian outsourcers can continue to flood the country with supposedly "skilled" workers here on intra company transfer visas, tens of thousands of them here, many already gain indefinite leave to remain due to time in country, and many more will aquire ILR in time all these workers for Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, Tata, Wipro etc treated like slaves, and sold onto multinationals here for a fraction of the market salary forcing wages for all down, and displacing Brits from the workforce many have tax dispensations so are not contributing tax to the economy here many have kids here in state schools free to them and expensive to us and many bring in seriously ill wife or children who then clog up the NHS there is no points based system for intra company transfers it is complete open door Gordon needs a good talking to
