These guys aren't lying. Even if you came over for 2-3 years and went back, you'd of had a great time in the sun and have enough money to drop some serious savings into your mortgage.
Here's the skilled occupation list for migration. Boilermakers, Sparkies, Mechanics, any form of engineer or pretty much any type of trade ticket thats possibly applicable on an industrial site has the golden ticket.
Just do it.

think we need someone with a clear vision for the future, not to sure id pick someone who sold the family jewels, gas.electricity,water ect and . shut the mines when we are facing increasing energy shortages from around the world,and was saved by a war in the falklands from being thrown out.
but give her her due home ownership was a good idea, and like it or not she fought her corner for her beliefs, unlike the rubbish we have had since, i always put it this way thatcher ruined communties the rest ruined a country, yep if there was such a creature out there as a thatcher with a heart i would welcome it with open arms compared to the three divs we have around now.
Home ownership/RTB was one of her worst legacies as far as I'm concerned.
My generation and those younger than me can't afford to buy and can't get a council house because there aren't any so are stuck paying ludicrous rents for homes we can't even decorate how we would like.

Well firstly it's a bit strange to me to refer to utilities as 'family jewels', and selling them took them out of government ownership and into shareholder ownership. Lots of people for instance used BT as their first foray into share ownership. I dare say these people had much great affinity for BT than when it was part of the Post Office.
The coal mines were at the time losing large sums of money, so far from being a 'crown jewel' they were a strain on society as they sucked money from more deserving causes. Environmentally coal really isn't a good source of energy and it's no bad thing to be moving away from it.

Like I said, our company's office in Perth is crying out for field service techs, so getting a sponsor for a visa (is that how it works?) wouldn't be the most difficult thing in the world.
It's persuading her to uproot and move to the other side of the world, think she's a bit more sentimental about family visiting and stuff.

You're spot on. Those projections don't take in to account the inevitable collapse of Spain. Europe, France and Germany will fall well short of those projections.
Guy on my Facebook boasting about drinking cocktails in London whilst on strike. But no, teachers, they work sooo hard. My heart bleeds it really does.

Of course it is a limited sample, but I know half a dozen teachers and sadly they're all much the same. Virtuous bastions of knowledge and academia they really are not.
I called them the family jewels because we, thats 100% of the British people owned them not the few who could afford shares them and as such we could all have shared in the Hugh profits made at are expense,
The energy companies alone boasted profits into the billions, and ironically EDF the biggest in the UK is 83% French state owned, yes the French are getting the money we should be getting if as a Brit that doesn't get under your skin nothing will.
Coal was making a loss, but a lot of that was down to the dash for north sea gas a commodity that has been in decline since 2002, leaving us now to import coal from south America ,Poland and Russia in bigger numbers or rely more on nuclear energy something that deffo isn't green, thats even before we calculate the cost in jobs from over 90,000 to 6000 who work in mines now mostly at a profit by the way, how much has it cost the country in welfare not only to those men and there families but the people who relied on them as well .
In short i would hazard a guess the combined profits of these companies in energy, water rail, etc since getting sold off could have made modern day UK a far more wealthy and less debt burdened country rather than it is today, and would make it far more easy for any government to control the economy as it could control the price of such things to its people and businesses rather than at the whim of some overseas shareholder.this in all a time of record stagnation of standards of living, the worst since the war and in real terms a drop in average family disposable income of 5% over the last three years
I'm Sounding like a bleeding commie now, makes note to have a word with myself
