Yeah, they brought that 335K in last year.
I signed the petition and wrote a long e-mail, parliament debated and went "meh, outside the EU, 35K or be part of a job group we pick, or GTFO"
It's insane as most parts of the UK 35K is very high! For example: A typical full-time worker in Northern Ireland earned about £24,000, compared to just under £27,000 across the UK.

I heard a radio program that was talking about the demise of the curry house and somebody who I think was on the board (or similar position) of the association of Indian Restaurant owners was saying how his organisation was voting leave because the rules around skilled people (in their case, curry chefs) immigrating meant that there were not enough skilled chefs to keep the restaurants going. I believe they needed to prove they were going to earn >£35k, which not a lot of their chefs do. I am sure there are other reasons that restaurants are closing but they were adamant that leaving the EU meant that they would get a better deal in that regard.
