The Migration Advisory Committee (2)

Snafu asked a couple of good questions (as per usual) and I commented as follows:

Ah yes, but think about all the lovely quangos that they'll be able to set up!

Think of the donations that the governing party will be able to elicit from large employers keen to get the jobs they offer on the approved list!

Think of the barriers to entry for small businesses, who will have to pay £1,000s to register as an approved employer (or pay higher wages to UK workers and be unable to compete) - but a drop in the ocean for Big Business!

Think of the impact on UK unemployment and the burden on the taxpayer via the Welfare State when wages are driven down (relative to benefit levels)!

Corporatism at its best! What's not to like?
