On the other hand, we have few jobs that we are allowed to hire from OS/EU without the residency restriction, he have top candidates, 100 applicants for 1 job.

Why can't they do that for all skills? EU allows them to put restrictions on football clubs that a certain number of footballers have be home grown? I would love the FA's ratio of homegrown/others.

Or do I miss something like the tampon tax (0% in Ireland but 5% in the UK and we are not allowed to reduce it!)
