Conservative MPs propose a Market-Based #Immigration System - but isn't one already effectively in place?
http://www.ukvisas.com/blog/market-based-immigration-system/
This throws up interesting possibilities. In fact it might make some people might throw up. But it is pretty much an extension of the current trend of immigration policy to encourage “the brightest and the best [ie richest]” to come to the UK.

If you haven’t already, watch The Gate of Heavenly Peace, directed by Richard Gordon and Carma Hinton, with writing by Geremie Barmé and John Crowley. The three-hour documentary was released in 1995 to rave reviews — “the atmosphere of the Beijing Spring is conveyed beautifully in all its pathos, drama, hope, craziness, poetry, and violence,” wrote Ian Buruma; “a hard-headed critical analysis of a youthful protest movement that failed,” wrote The New York Times – and remains the best film ever made about the June Fourth Incident.

Extreme anti-immigrant groups spread throughout Europe.
http://globalvoicesonline.org/2013/06/04/extreme-anti-immigrant-groups-spread-throughout-europe/
By exploiting the fears of the well to do of the risks of a social explosion, the radicalization of middle classes destroyed by the crisis and sweeping austerity measures as well as the despair of marginalized and impoverished unemployed people, extreme right and most of all neo-Nazi and neo-fascist forces are growing everywhere in Europe. They are gaining mass influence in the poorer layers of society turning this influence systematically against traditional and newer scapegoats (immigrants, Muslims, Jews, LGBT, disabled people,…) as well as against left wing organizations and trade unions.
