Cleaning Up Britain

Daveybloke's barmy old cat lady is announcing new measures to halt the immigrant hordes. The Bullingdon Club and its chums are apparently feeling a bit hard done by because they have to employ so many foreign domestic staff, so the servants' rights to settle here after five years will be removed, and domestic workers from outside Europe will only be permitted to work for other foreigners. The Home Office also plans to kick out any migrant worker who earns less than £35,000 a year after five years, on the grounds that those who have lots of money are ipso facto the brightest and the best. This will serve to show, if we didn't know it before, that in order to earn Daveybloke's favour you have to be made of rather sterner financial stuff than the kind of people who work, pay taxes and stay within the law. It is as yet unclear how much the requisite migrant monitoring, dawn raids and deportation flights will benefit those pure-blooded British taxpayers who remain.
