UK Immigration: No visas for low-skilled workers, government says – BBC News
Low-skilled workers would not get visas under post-Brexit immigration plans unveiled by the government.
It is urging employers to “move away” from relying on “cheap labour” from Europe and invest in retaining staff and developing automation technology.
The Home Office said EU and non-EU citizens coming to the UK would be treated equally after UK-EU free movement ends on 31 December.
Labour said a “hostile environment” would make it hard to attract workers.
But Home Secretary Priti Patel told BBC Breakfast the government wanted to “encourage people with the right talent” and “reduce the levels of people coming to the UK with low skills”.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

We have plenty of unemployed fruit ninjas already, the problem is they get bored and chop eachothers heads and hands off for a laugh or is it just post code Envy?
No one can understand what they say without a translator. Maybe they could be trained to do something useful like chop fruit and vegetables without decapitating any Christians or opposing tribes?

I believe the points system is simply a way to vet out undesirable immigrants, here in Australia hundreds of thousands of Indians and others come on skilled visas only to work in unskilled jobs such as taxi driving, security, working in supermarkets ect

No visas for any of them! Hi skilled migrants can look after their own country we are not a concentration camp of islands taking the best! America done this during world war 2 took the best from German scientists and the Germans done this to the Jews taylors etc probably done this during Iraq war and Lybia and other countries. America and the United Nations and the European union, fuck you get your own skilled people 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

low skilled workers high skilled workers! it's irrelevent really, you ask a immigrant what his/hers plans are for the next 10-15 years he/she will tell you straight "sending money back home to buy land and a house then eventually go back home" I've worked and made friends with many immigrants throughout my life and this is the response I get. test it for yourself, now ask a British citizen the same question, becuase buying any land or a house in this country is near enough impossible to do with how much they pay, pay british people what they're worth and they'll do the work, simple it's the logical thing to do. our future is in this country not abroad.

October 2021:
UK government is pleading with EU citizens to fill up British based jobs! As companies in the UK are struggling to fill up their job positions despite many native Brits complaining about " not able to find work because foreigners have taken them" !!!
Yet, many jobs are available so why don't those " finger pointing at foreign invasion" bandwagons fill up those available jobs?
I guess, they don't want to work 39 hours a week and personally pay their living costs by working. And rather have the current system: Government paying rent and living costs paid every fortnight. Without having to move a muscle from the couch… Yet will still play the "foreigners just want to take advantage of our benefits system and not have to work" anthem!

Will not be interesting for EU citizens in some low paid jobs and there is a problem from other areas of the world
1. Farm workers: seasonal jobs with same season in all of europe. They will find jobs in the EU. They are needed in the EU. But seasonal workers will not come from India or any other country.
2. Health care. All of EU needs more health care workers. Problem is, that the people, which have worked in UK until now, they need to learn a new language. Here maybe UK can get people from outside EU.
3. Old people care. Again a job which is needed in all of the EU. But again, there is a possibility to get workers from other countries. Cyprus for example is working already a lot with Asien people.
4. Lorry drivers. All of EU is missing Lorry drivers. So no problem for EU citizens to move from UK to the continent. But with which nationality UK want's to replace them?
As UK needs workers, the whole story looks to me like immigration yes but not from EU.
Good luck

Quite funny that YouTube recommended me this video, as I watched so many current news video as UK is struggling massively on shortage staff in all industry and sectors like agriculture and food processing were relying on this free immigration system from East European countries that were occupying these positions only for the season, jobs not wanted by english people
The hospitality industry is on its knees as now they can operate and are fully booked but they don’t have experienced staff, as more than 1 million European Union people had emigrated towards other European countries
They said they want to have a control on emigration… I can see they are doing great!
Now let’s do some maths, me personally I was paying taxes about 8 thousand a years, I was paying 600 for a bed, I was paying the tube 160 pounds every month, food and other stuff… a total of approximately 15 thousand a years I was spending from my work in Uk , I was spending back in the UK on long term , the savings being relatively small in comparison with the spendings… this is the situation of all the emigrants that had left UK
Now let’s do the math
8 thousand a year per 1 million immigrants
The government lost 8.000.000.000 a year in taxes including national insurance
The National transport lost the (let’s put half of my spendings)
80 per 1 million = 80.000.000 annually
The landlords , which are mostly british
They lost annually
Let’s put 400
400 per 1 million = 400.000.000
Do you realise now that there are no benefits
If you don’t believe read the news

ITS BECAUSE OF A PLASTIC CARD ODD BUT TRUE – welcome to the UK
The key is a very odd one. The first safe country in law is where fingerprints are taken and 'refugees' watch youtube videos, on how to beat the system and know this. Once fingerprints are taken that is where your safe country starts as it is not deniable, I live in (retired Brit) France French police has 'better things to do', as do Italian police, French police dont want the hassle either the paperwork is ridiculous, police already have local crime to deal with.
Once fingerprints are taken that entitles refugees to legal support and there are various charities happy to oblige but in France, even then you will not get anything until you have a 'carte vitalle identity pack set' – for this you need fingerprints, speak french, temporary address, documentation, place of birth and then after the interview you wait for well another interview which can easily take 12 months. Get the idea and when I say get nothing you will be given, not even a dry croissant.
Without this plastic card set you wont be allowed a doctor, dentist, education, nursery care, food handouts, hospital, housing, nothing. All legal French have this set of plastic cards in different categories. For immigrants, it is a catch 22. It took me two years and I have 2 degrees, my neighbour a retired British engineer it took 3 years. But I could support myself. Our 'refugees' know this and on arrival in UK fingerprints are taken to check, which safe country fingerprints were taken.
So it appears they have in fact in law teleported into the UK. Now why does the home secretary not know this – or she does know this. Either way she is also caught in a catch 22 situation. For such a simple thing as a plastic card set, it is extremely efficient at moving 'refugees' along the route to UK, Germany, Holland and Denmark. This all sounds cycical last year in Reims we had 50 immigrants, they got tired of waiting and walked to Paris. Where guess what …
Vous idiots d'Anglais n'avez aucune idée à quel point le système français est efficace – il s'appelle la bureaucratie, nous l'avons inventé et sommes maintenant les maîtres de la traversée de la Manche. voilaShow less

Look at other countries, they had civilisations there they had jobs etc , BUT they failed in all types of ways from recession to war by the way they was so they all think come UK to work and other reasons , what says after this work load has for filled the job spaces the same doesn’t happen here , you’ve seen protests they do in thousands like when in their countries on one issue, and most only employ their own and talk to their own , money only builds within their structure mostly, UK people is and was open to anyone such as myself BUT what UK did wrong was advertise jobs properly and give jobs easier to its people with correct pay and now they will employ anyone from out the borders easier and easily to “ fill these job spaces “ , these are the actions of what is and has happened NOT my opinion, and seeing these actions looking hindsight or to the future just makes you think what happened over seas with their countries has been dropped on UK land within minds and other means , just a matter of time , the government is just looking at making numbers work by time sort of moneyXtime equation or MONEYxTIME=PROFIT , and the ending answer to this is only multiples of money building NOT a REAL DREAM ENDING , money can be printed , WARS cannot not just be deleted, Quality ways of life cannot just be copied, debt can’t just be paid off, what happens if UK falls and fails ARE they going to RUN to next country for its FOOD , some preach about their other country it’s this and that SO why not BUILD THAT BACK UP IF THEY FEEL SO STRONGLY about it but instead you see day to day they do not PRAISE the country or UK they are in only biased about their own
As I said I’m not biased I’m actually half cast and these are the actions of what’s out there
Just look over time and you will see patterns
