Will he ever learn?
Funny how all the leaders take a pop at farage and then repeat his line as the ideal situation for immigration.
Sounds great on paper - in practice, incredibly difficult to do without alienating the economic positives the "good ones" bring. You could have a system that is point based, but as a quick example, what if a doctor comes here, gets in, but then wants their mother to come over, who has no skills?
It's a very tricky thing to do. I'd be all for a points based system that made allowance for common sense, and it was underpinned by a very good grasp of supply and demand for certain jobs, but even the lauded Australian system is flawed.

Waiting for Farage to blame the Jewish Bolshevik conspiracy, the Vatican and Deputy Dawg to fill out his arguments.
Tool.
Tool.
Tubey it would have taken you significantly less effort to say "Yes, that's true".

I'd hold off with the champagne celebrations if I were them. He speaks for a very niche group of ex-Tory voters who lap this stuff up (the misunderstood outsiders being slammed for 'racist' talk). The Tories will find it hard to whittle that support right down to a winning margin.
There's a graph tonight on the BBC live page showing how Farage's tracking poll went up after he attacked the studio audience for being too lefty!!

Pipe down Bennett, you almost blew the speaker on my tele there.
"Medical tourism is a lucrative source of income for the NHS, according to a major new study that contradicts many of the assumptions behind the government's announcement that it will clamp down on foreigners abusing the health service.
Eighteen hospitals – those deemed most likely to be making money from overseas patients – earned £42m in 2010, according to researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and York University. Medical tourists spent an estimated £219m on hotels, restaurants, shopping and transport in the UK.
The researchers also found that more people leave the UK seeking medical treatment abroad than arrive in this country for care: about 63,000 people from the country travelled to hospitals and clinics abroad in 2010, while considerably fewer, about 52,000 people, came here".

No, he bores me to tears, do you?
Nigel Farage (sounds foreign lol ) is blaming MRSA on Labour?
The fact that a bacteria developed a resistance to methicillin is now a persons fault?
MRSA had been becoming resistant since the 50's at least. That's not a persons fault.
Ok, I see. Farage is a melt.
