New Immigration System UK??

susieball

Does the new immigration points system for immigration that has just been announced in UK, cover Ireland also, or does the Common Travel Area trump this, allowing Irish people to go back and over to UK to work, and those from the UK to work here. A bit concerned, as I intend to go back to work in UK when my children finish school and are in college. I used to work there many years ago and have a National Insurance number there. I do occasional pieces of work there now. I would also like to purchase an apartment there in 3/4 years time.

I don't think you'll have a problem:

2. Working in the CTA

If you are a British or Irish citizen, you can work in either country, including on a self-employed basis, without needing any permission from the authorities.

In support of this, the UK Government is committed to ensuring that, after the UK leaves the EU, appropriate and comprehensive provisions continue to be in place for the recognition of professional qualifications obtained in Ireland. The Irish Government has also committed to working to ensure the provision of arrangements with the UK to recognise professional qualifications.

That is very incorrect as well.

What they want is more Indian/ Pakistani doctors and computer scientists, Syrian and Iraqi engineers and less unskilled eastern Europeans.

The problem with that is lots of the economy floats on unskilled eastern Europeans everything from restaurants to hotels to fruit picking to nursing homes.

I think that this is a workable, logical, and common sense plan.
While we cannot use it in Ireland for EU migration, we should definitely use it for the substantial non-EU migration coming into the country.
This situation of non-EU economic migrants arriving into Ireland and getting themselves immediately onto the housing/homeless lists is not sustainable, so this points-based system would cut down that abuse.

And when this is enacted by Britain in less than a year's time, we should also expect even further increases of non-EU migration into Ireland.

Any country that values the poorest of its citizenry should control low skill immigration.

Corporate interests have subverted the left wing into advocating for them through the weird obsession with open borders while the right wing shrugs and accepts the cheap labour. It destroys the interests of the poor, destroys them.

In Britain, as in much of West, the traditional left wing working class have been politically dissolved by the woke class. Those privileged middle-upper class folk who care more about trifles from Derrida, Foucault and Judith Butler or obsessing over Palestine and trans politics than they do actually pursuing the interests of poor people in their own society. Indeed they tend to dislike bigoted and thick poor people from their own country because they don't talk politely enough and didn't go to university.

I value a cohesive society with lower levels of inequality than aggregate GDP numbers and frankly I think so do most morally minded people.

I lived in England, 1960s, 70s and 80s.
IMHO the average working class people I knew didn't like the 'darkies' or the 'paddies'. They would tolerate 'different' people to a point and then.....
Nothing to do with this 'woke' bollox, everything to do with colour or culture or difference.

The Tory party have always known this and tapped into this for votes on a subtle level. The need for subtly has gone. Very scary times in the UK.
When they can't blame the EU, what or who is next.
