π¨I think this is important. The government wants to PAY companies Β£5,000 to reimburse visa costs for each foreign worker they hire! so, I thought we'd dig into just some of the 'skilled' worker roles the government has approved, that British people could easily do between March 2024 and March 2026.
At a time when unemployment is rising, this is just a short list of 156,873 JOBS British people including graduates did NOT get and overseas visa were issued.
From the Home Officeβs own visa data.

Westminster is not listening! and is allowing Britain to import labour for jobs British people could be trained to do. Chefs? Butchers? sales staff? bookeepers? shopkeepers? Farm workers? Mechanics? Hospitality staff? seriously???
Why are employers allowed to say there is a βshortageβ of skills when there clearly isn't. And why is the government incentivising foreign work visas we dont need? π¨
