  Tempted to write an essay on that bubbleheaded blather. But just for now:
  
  'This system will ensure that immigration is controlled and that we are able to attract the skilled workforce we need – not just from the EU but from around the world.
  
  By the same token, we will be able to better manage the inward migration of lower skilled workers – so encouraging all employers to invest in British workers and British jobs.'
  
  Hmm, so Britain can only hope to produce 'lower skilled workers'; we'll just import the 'skilled workforce we need'. An odd admission, but perhaps she's right; it does seem to be borne out by the poor quality of the ruling political class right now. Maybe we can get some decent ones in from Sweden, or Japan.
  
  As for asylum laws being 'devised long ago to protect people fleeing oppressive regimes', we'd better hope there are some in place across the water somewhere, as many of us may be taking to our own dinghies soon enough.
