  • Insidiously subtle difference between his words and the way they're reported, even within the same article!

    'Immigration has been used by unscrupulous agencies to destroy working conditions' vs 'immigration destroys working conditions'.

  • Er, he said both versions in the Marr interview.

    “It would be a managed thing on the basis of the skills required,” he said of his
    party’s future immigration policy. “What there wouldn’t be is
    whole-scale importation of underpaid workers from central Europe in
    order to destroy conditions, particularly in the construction
    industries.”

    Pressed on how his party would restrict immigration,
    Corbyn said: “You prevent agencies recruiting for jobs like that, you
    advertise for jobs in the locality first … It would be on the basis on
    the economic need and skills required. The need for nurses is huge …
    we have to be sensible about this.”
