It seems this government is so stupid, short sighted and blinkered that it is willing to deliberately damage the British economy in order to try to pander to the far right core of voters it is terrified of losing.
Yesterday the Migration Advisory Committee warned the government not to abolish the graduate visa programme, the government already having toughened up the conditions under which under graduates can come to UK universities. That has led to a slump in applications which will severely damage many universities already, but now business leaders are sticking their oar in as well.
The heads of several major international companies have written to the PM telling him that they are “deeply concerned” by declining numbers of international students and that the deliberate government policy risked “undermining the positive impact that international students have on our skills base, future workforce, and international influence”.
Short of putting up a sign outside No.10 saying “Are you mad?” I can’t think of much more that they could do to point out the suicidal stupidity of the so called party of business.
Nothing could better confirm the conviction that this is a useless government, run by weak idiots who pander to the worst in society and are proud of the fact, even when all the experts and the evidence tells them they are harming the country.
Surely this can’t go on? This isn’t an accident or a mistake this is sabotage in all but name.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
