Labour's drive to boost the number of people going to university has
produced a generation of poor quality graduates who are being
outclassed by migrants, business leaders have warned.

More British students are gaining degrees but they are still
struggling with basic English and maths, leaving employers more
inclined to recruit people from Poland and central Europe, it was
claimed.

The Government policy to increase the number of degrees has been
criticised in some quarters for encouraging the rise of "Mickey Mouse"
qualifications such as Golf and Sports Turf Management.

What they meant to say is that New Liebour let all these migrants in
to depress the wages of the British worker (and now they can't live on
these low wages), and also to divide the country so being easier to
conquer for New Liebour and the EUSSR. I have yet to see any of these
2,000,000 migrants who they say are "highly qualified".

Again we have someone who is taking a perfectly good argument and
using it to his own agenda by flipping it inside oou...ie restating
it.

The argument (by the CBI) is that foreign graduates are considering
better than British ones. It doesn't matter whether it is fact or not
- it matters if that is what business people believe.
It is a fact that people who are willing to work for lower wages are a
boon to business. A closed pool of labour drives wages up - an open
pool drives them down if you live in a wealthier country.

What the poster said was meant is not AT ALL what the original
script said or meant....and is not supported by statistics or facts.

Half a million less British people in work since the opening of EU
borders?

However I have to agree with the Telegraph writer who criticised the
quality of "graduates" in GB. Happily most employers can spot a third-
tier "Uni" from a very great disatance. These "graduates" don't fool
anyone.
"Poor English and Maths" is exactly what I was decrying in another
thread when I was accused of snobbery for asking for better
standards. And so should everyone.

Door, horse, bolted.
No amount of 'adult education' is going to improve us to the level
required, because that level includes having a better work ethic, with
British people lack and foreign labour seems to have by default,
because that is what people think. Better get ready for a permanent
and large social security bill.
