More dishonesty from Neil O'Brien. But with a low Tory vote share and tactical voting, he could be got rid of.

Don't know if McVey has commented on the report yet. She was virtually turning cartwheels at the thought of universities closing down yesterday.

The still seatless Seb Payne is also doing this bollocks.

Not only do the wages of these overseas graduates go up pretty quickly (consistent with non-native English speakers having to start in a lower job than they would otherwise) but they overlook the distinct possibility that not everybody goes straight into full time work.

I still don't get how what the swizz is supposed to be. Pay through the nose for a course, far more than home students, and then work for 2 years in a fairly low paid job? Not obvious that we're the ones being conned here.

[Andy McDandy]

Very convoluted way of saying "They come over here and they take all the jobs and they're all on benefits and they're doing Mickey Mouse degrees at jumped up polys in Harry Potter studies...".

Because that's all this is.

[Youngian]

Why is it ok to take high paid jobs but not low paid ones, because the working class are frightened of foreigners?

[Killer Whale]

Because people in low paid jobs don't make a 'contribution' to society.

Yeah. I know.

[Tubby Isaacs]

If you're young and healthy and leave after 2 years, you probably make a financial contribution, never mind any other type.

Someone BTL made a point that there probably are a fair few Common People-style students, who have done it at least partly because they want the cool student life experience, and may not be particularly focussed on maximising earnings. The OP saw no problem with this, and nor do I. At the very least, they're probably propping up a few restaurants. Anyway, I thought it was good if they didn't "take jobs away" from us Brits.

Mark Harper here, channelling Susan Hall's losing campaign. At least they won the Uxbridge by-election when they channelled that.

Alan Moore's V for Vendetta retirement village.

In the novel, everyone knows there's no actual retirement village. They assume it's a gas chamber or something.

In fact, it's not even that. Just a couple of thugs with lead pipes.

Wouldn’t expect any better from a Johnson crony

A Tory peer has resigned the government whip after he was found to have bullied and harassed two people while drunk.

Lord Kulveer Ranger, a former adviser to Boris Johnson, faces being banned from the House of Lords bars following an investigation into his conduct. https://news.sky.com/story/tory-peer-re ... t-13137893
