Sri Lanka is much better country than UK. London looks like a dump from Oliver twist. Even when you get out of He-throw airport looks like getting out of Katunayake airport. What is the point of migrating to UK. No professional jobs. You are treated as third class citizens. UK is only good for blue collar workers.
One can get better salaries in Middle east for professionals than UK. Australia is much better option for Professionals and better job prospects. Why waste money for a country that is no good to live in long term.

I don't buy this.
The ruling Conservative coalition government is barking mad that 188,000 'Skilled Migrants' came during the last government's period and took the jobs of the natives and stopped it altogether.
At the basic level the best of the best students are no longer given work visa. And it has become difficult to secure 'work permit' and Indian Companies like TCS, Wipro and Infosys are trying to recruit within UK.
UK's Economic and Employment conditions will not allow foreign workers at present.
This program may be a reciprocal one for the countries of the same level like USA, Canada, Australia and NZ.
May not be for Sri Lanka and no point in wasting time to knock the High Commission's door.

Sri Lanka needs professionals to work in-house, if all talented guys go abroad then Sri Lanka will have to start foreign recruitment.
Going to Middle east will be a better option than UK, Because you will be treated as a professional and respected.
Now Asia and Middle East is stable even with the economic crisis but not Europe.

Please don't dishout rubbish.
Look what happening at the courts.
It is not the country but the moral of the politicians that decide the 'liveability' in a country.
