I don’t think the White Paper is terrible, but ALL of the language surrounding it is inexcusable, insupportable, and indefensible. He can kiss my migrant butt. 981904295
Mike Rogerson @csr-michael.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Starmer announces that immigrants should have degrees to get visas. But will reduce the number of foreign students who can come here and get degrees. So contradictory as well as small-minded then. 010

Mike Rogerson @csr-michael.bsky.social · 12/05/2025We have, as a nation, we have become good at giving away our advantages. The massive economic benefit of foreign students coming here and the incalculable soft power that offers will never return if Labour pushes this drivel through. We will be poorer and stupider and they will be toast. 000
Mike Rogerson @csr-michael.bsky.social · 12/05/2025By all means, address immigration. Polls seem to suggest that illegal immigration is an issue for a lot of people. How will cutting the number of foreign students allowed to come here help that? Foreign students who pay tens of thousands of pounds to be here and largely return home after. 100
Mike Rogerson @csr-michael.bsky.social · 12/05/2025The Labour Party talks big on economic growth, relying on increased GDP to fund its plans. In attacking education as it has today, it reveals that it is more interested in pandering to the nasties than making this a better country to live in. No one interested in a better Britain hobbles education. 100
