This is the first coherent defence of the policy I have come across. I also see merit in the author’s contention that this policy can be attributed to Brexit, i.e. what other inducements has the UK left to offer companies to set up shop here?
Don’t think I’ve ever seen this guy not have shit opinions.
An odd article.
Complains for Remainers being fine with Europeans moving to the UK for jobs, while saying the advantage of removing the cap is allowing Americans to move to the UK for banker jobs.
It’s odd to say how Leave was fuelled by people being left behind and then cheer leading banker bonuses.
Though this was the guy saying how bringing back imperial measurements was a great idea.
The author of the article is a conservative peer sitting in the house of lords. From Wikipedia:
>Daniel William Finkelstein, Baron Finkelstein, OBE (born 30 August 1962) is a British journalist and politician. […] He is a former chairman of Policy Exchange […]. He is chair of the think tank Onward. He was made a member of the House of Lords in August 2013, sitting as a Conservative.
I find it somewhat laughable that The Times represents this as a piece of unbiased opinion without a food note stating that the author is the chairman of one conservative party linked think tank, former chairman of another conservative party linked think tank and sits as a conservative peer in the house of lords.
Has anyone else noticed how whenever this government claims something is “right”, it’s always completely morally wrong?
…..its ok everyone, the trickle down benefits of bankers bonus’ will save us.
Just like brexit, itll be a success… any minute now
Why the fuck is the OP’s commentary locked from replies?
>So by removing the cap you are encouraging, say, US banks to send staff to Britain
