Seven in ten people want an Australian-style cap on work visas issued to migrants after Brexit

SEVEN in ten people want an Australian-style cap on the number of work visas issued to migrants after Brexit, a poll revealed last night (MON).

Boris Johnson has promised an Australian-style points-based immigration system to apply to all arrivals if he wins the election but the plans do not include an overall cap on work permits.

Laying bare the pressure on the PM to toughen up his proposals, 71 per cent of the public want a cap and this rises to a huge 86 per cent of Tory voters, according to a Deltapoll survey for Migration Watch UK.

Three quarters of those sampled in Conservative-held marginal constituencies were also in favour.

The campaign group said the survey exposed the public’s overwhelming support for a much tighter immigration system after Brexit to bring numbers down.

And it comes a week after official figures revealed the number of work visas issued to non-EU migrants soared to 190,000 this year.

It is the highest annual total since the points-based system was introduced for them in 2008.

Migration Watch chief Alp Mehmet said: “As usual, the sensible British public, in this case more than 30 million of them, are way ahead of the politicians.

“Without any cap on work permits, the inflow would be essentially uncontrolled, and risks being uncontrollable.”

So the, out of touch political elite are trying to say that the public would be happy to cough up an extra £2000 a year, per household to prop up the NHS?  Advertisers website Wrong! While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed? No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics.

Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight. Soros, who controls a web of international nonprofits in addition to his vast financial empire, used his sway with the government of Guinea to freeze Israeli company BSG Resources out of the West African nation’s lucrative iron ore mini
