non EU migrants to be sent home if not earning £35k after 6 years. hmm what about salary caps

Did you mean to prove your point by posting a link that shows non-EU immigration figure alone as higher than both Canada and Australia's total figures :confused: that disproves your own point.

But again I am pro skilled immigration so numbers mean nothing (that's twice I hav tried explaining this to you) as long as it is skilled.

You said we need an Australian-style points system, I pointed out that we already have one.
 
It's impossible to say whether a salary is 'a lot' or not without having any idea of outgoings. But feel free to argue in a circle if you want.

The fact you can't even find and use a salary calculator to find out that 35K monthly after tax is £2,240.60 tells me why you're probably not to get there :rolleyes:

Really didn't know that! £3k was before tax, I quoted after 22-23% deduction its the same amount as what you said. As I said in my previous post £550 a week! :rolleyes:

Don't comment about something unless you read the whole thread. :mad:

But to Mr average 35k is a lot period.
 
http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/dec/12/uk-median-weekly-pay-is-517-but-who-earns-that

Weekly earnings for full-time employees was £517 in April 2013, a 2.2% rise from last year. Using the median, (that's the middle value when everyone's wages are arranged from highest to lowest) means that salaries that are exceptionally high or low are less likely to affect the national figures as they would with averages.

These are also gross earnings so they don't take into account tax or any other adjustments.

What percentage of the country is on 35k or more?

seems a bit high


Police Officer
Despite doing a risky job, police officers come in below the national average with a wage of £24,681.

That's complete crap. A bog standard officer with a few years service is getting £30k plus with shift allowance. I wouldn't want to do it but it's not by any stretch badly paid.

If I leave I want to do so in a sensible manner that would not effect my ability to support my family, hence why I am looking to do so through a work system which will support this. Whilst I do not like a lot of what this country stands for I am not niave enough to think I have it "bad" and so I will continue to work and contribute as I have done until a point where I can sensibly migrate.

If I were younger and commitment free it would be a different situation but the situation is as it is right now.

It's only when you leave you realise how crap and what a dump it really is.

But I miss Irn Bru. Badly.

Either it is not a complete dump as you don't have it "bad".

And I've worked in countries and the all have their pros and cons. I can list a load of reasons why Australia, the USA, Sweden, Singapore, and Austria are not so good either. And I've left out the other places I've had the misfortune to get lumbered in because they weren't my choice!
 
For some reason this thread reminds me of the story I read the other day about a Brit being deported from Canada because he was spotted doing some DIY for his Girlfriend (And thereby potentially displacing a local worker).

Whilst it seems a bit harsh, at the same time I do wish our own government was as keen to protect the interests of our own citizens too!
