Mayor Boris Johnson – Britain should not keep out talented people

This is what the visiting London Mayor said when he was here. And this is very important as he is the only mayor in London with a population that is double that in this tiny island. In absolute terms, he is running two Singapore alone. In this sense I think it can be said that he is quite talented than those mayors running a housing estate of a few thousand inhabitants. No? Ok, Ok, look at it in another way, he is not so dignified, not because he took the train to visit the Istana, but because his pay is not even half a peanut. He definitely would not qualify to be called a super talent in this city. Did he send a message, that he is the poorest mayor visiting the richest PM, so better to know his place, and take a train?

Ok, I have digressed. Why is his comment important? You see, he just said the right and sexy thing, and our boys and girls would be drumming this comment to justify their push for more foreign talents. And they would not be bothered to look at what else he said to qualify his statement. No, Boris Johnson is not talking about a blank cheque even if he disagrees with David Cameroon. He assured that what David Cameroon is going to do, to curb immigration is also legitimate and necessary. There is a need for foreign talents, and Britain has benefited a lot from it.

Boris Johnson cautioned against the free loaders and the fake talents and the cheats. Britain too would not want the fakes and the cheats. But what to do when they don’t have a system to check on the cheats or are outsmarted by the cheats? Just pretend not to see lor, close one eye, and just treat all of them as talents and no one would miss a heart beat except the loser PMEs who were replaced by the cheats. Anyway, it is the losers’ problems. As long as the losers are happy being taxi drivers and security guards, or remained unemployed, as long as they did not complain or march to Parliament House, there is no problem.

So, before any boys and girls take up the megaphone and blare that we need more foreign talents, please take note of the fine prints. And please do something serious to get rid of the fakes and half bakes to protect the jobs of the PMEs. If not, it is a matter of time before they come after your asses.
