UK takeaway jobs ban for immigrants from outside EEA

[bricolage]

jeez

The Home Office has already announced that only graduate-level non-European Economic Area (EEA) workers will be allowed to apply to come to the UK. Now it has reduced the list of jobs where there is a skills shortage in the UK to eight occupations, including senior care workers, sheep shearers and pipe welders, following advice from the the UK Border Agency's Mac.
Chefs will need to have graduate-level qualifications, with a minimum of five years' experience in an equivalent role, and need to earn at least of £28,260 per year after their accommodation and food.

So the Tories are making a grab at the votes they lost to UKIP and the BNP? I suppose that was always inevitable, really, wasn't it?

Not to defend the tories, but it doesnt say they'll be retro actively cancelling existing visas.

Besides who is to say graduates don't work for takeaways? :confused:

I agree in as much that is an opportunistic swipe to win the right wing vote.
