Poets, DJs and DEI officers? Britain’s ‘skilled’ visa list is a joke

Yvette Cooper’s skills-based system demands very few skills at all from prospective migrants.

It's happened at my place, I just got made redundant but the past few years has been awful, a crackdown by the alphabet people supported by a stasi HR who have put grassing and snitching into the conduct protocols.

"The listing of DEI officers in the UK’s skilled-worker visa scheme is especially bizarre. For one thing, there is hardly a shortage of diversity employees. Indeed, research suggests that the UK has more diversity and inclusion staff per capita than any other country on Earth. Nor has the British experience of the unholy DEI trinity been remotely positive. It has spread divisive concepts such as ‘white privilege’ through British workplaces. It has encouraged employees to see each other as racist or bigoted. When homegrown DEI initiatives have done enough damage, why would we want to import more officers from abroad?"

The skills list is nonsense anyway. It turns out that many people who came to work in our care sector are err well not working in our care sector.

It's just a way to get to this country once here no one seems to care what they are doing.

Britain. So he’s British. You’ll need to check with Stirling if he’s ‘ancestrally British’ enough.

You raise a reasonable point that demonstrates double standards. You're saying we can't look at ancestry and it doesn't count yet anyone with a smidgen of Africa in them is "black". Even the PGA tour golfer Cameron Champ banged on about being black a couple of years ago because he had 1 great grandad, nevermind him being, well, white.

It's why the term 'ancestral' is an absolute nonsense.

It's also an exhausting way to live your life.

When did the term mixed race become Black? I didn't notice when but it's odd that someone who has one black parent and one white or a black grandparent is no longer mixed race but black.

If it's personal choice why can't they be white?

I just find the whole thing odd.
