More than 150,000 British jobs are being offered to Filipinos, according to an article in that country’s The Daily Tribune newspaper.

In an article headed “More than 150K jobs in UK open to ‘qualified’ Pinoys” and dated 24 August 2009, the Manila-based newspaper proudly announces that “Despite the worldwide recession, more than 150,000 jobs are being offered in the United Kingdom to foreign workers, including Filipinos, who will qualify under the new points-based system introduced in 2008 by the UK Border and Immigration System.”

The paper goes on to quote recruitment consultant Emmanuel Geslani, who informs the readers that “apart from marketing and public relations executives, teachers and healthcare workers like nurses and caregivers, Filipino professionals like scientists, environmental specialists, IT and telecommunications and social services workers are still in the wanted list by job recruitment specialists in the UK.”

Mr Geslani goes on to helpfully inform the Filipino masses that the “UK’s immigration system points-based scheme allows all qualified applicants to enter the UK under a managed immigration program with a five-tier system for all foreign nationals seeking to enter, or remain in the country.

“Highly skilled individuals like engineers, IT or marketing professionals is similar to the Highly Skilled Migrant program, which allows an applicant to apply for entry to the UK and the right to immigrate to the UK with full and free access to the employment market under the Tier 1 visa category,” he said.

“This means a qualified applicants under the Tier 1 visa will be permitted to live and work in the UK, seek and undertake employment, establish a business, invest or be self-employed,” he gushed on.

He then added: “One of the key benefits of the Tier 1 system is that you do not require a job offer to file for an application, it is your credentials that are assessed and if you have 75 points accumulated then you are qualified to apply for a Tier 1 visa.”

So there you have it: British jobs for everyone except British workers. One cannot imagine any other country actively encouraging foreign nationals to take away the jobs and rights of its own nationals — except the Tory and Labour run madhouse that is Britain.
