New immigration system: How will the UK's points-based scheme work?

If you are low skilled, you have pretty much no chance to work in the UK.

That kills a lot of dreams.

The upshot is easy enough, no more farm labourers and other low skilled work.
The Labour party will have a rare old moan about this.

The Government reckon there are 8.5 million who are economically inactive in the UK - maybe they mean retired people such as myself should go and tend the fields - erm - no chance..

The fish woman in Scotland is having a good rant about this, saying Scotland will be hit hard, but neglecting to mention the latest unemployment number of 96,000 jobless in that country.
Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but I thought a politician's job was to look after their own people first, not try for policies that keep them out of work.

The said fisherwoman has got the hump because everybody from Johnson downwards is calling her the Krankie woman; she has publicly said she regards it as abuse, which has, of course, made everybody more determined to make sure the name sticks.

Strange, not a peep about this in the UK Press, the BBC or Twitter.

Just to add - I've never heard of this Newspaper either.

Just to update all:

The latest update on the UK Gov website can be found at this link.  There is no change to the implementation I can find.  These new arrangements will take effect from 1 January 2021, once freedom of movement with the European Union (EU) has ended.

I can still find nothing on this report in the New European, so either they are mistaken, or are reporting incorrect information.  All I can find out is that it is a very anti-Brexit publication, so perhaps it's wishful thinking on their part.

Do you think it is reasonable to study in UK after government set the rule 38,700 pounds ($48,900) to get a skilled worker visa?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Do I think it's reasonable?  My thoughts are Irrelevant really, but for what they are worth.  These are political decisions and work style visas across the world are always subject to the stroke of the politician's pen, they can change the rules as and when they want to (as we saw a few days ago in the UK), and they use them to attract specialist workers as and when they need them.  The message is loud and clear, you will not get a work visa in the UK unless it's for a specialised skill and with a few exceptions, the employer is willing to give you a contract with a salary of over 38,700 pounds - that is a lot of money to pay an untried, inexperienced individual and I would suggest for the person just looking for a better life, unobtainable.

If you're asking would I do it, probably not; I did my degree many years ago now and am now retired.  Unless your degree is specialist (like Medicine, Engineer, or Sciences - mine wasn't), their worth is what the future employer gives them.  When I interviewed people, I was more interested in their ability to speak our language, relevant experience and qualifications if necessary.  Now I would have an extra hurdle in my way, the inference is obvious that the UK Government want employers to choose from candidates who already live in the UK.

I hope this helps.
