Sort of obvious really ...

Of course when we go abroad to live (and maybe work), we are "expats". When someone from abroad comes here to do the same, they are "foreigners" ...
I trust that this comes as no surprise. Does anyone really expect that if we tell the EU we will take people in according to their skills that the EU won't do the same?

I have nothing against that principle, frankly, and I don'r see why anyone would have any issues with it.

That said, many in my company have doubts despite all that has been done.

As an aside, you mentioned skills shortages. When I run the country, I would annually assess a 10 year skills plan and pay the tuition fees for any university course that addresses those needs. Short of doctors? How about free tuition? Not Brexit related, but a fun idea
I have nothing to take issues with over your post!
