Attracting the Brightest and the Best

Now the new coalition Government in the UK wants to attract the brightest and the best. They are proposing that there should be a cap to migration fro outside the EU, with the aim to only allow the brightest and the best to come into the country.

Doesn't this sound discriminatory? How are they going to determine who is 'the brightest' and who is 'the best'? Are they going to introduce exams for this? Are they going to check in detail every migrant's backgrounds?

Doesn't is sound strange that a Government that has been part of creating a lot of refugees to refuse them to enter their country? What are the thousands of Afgans and Iraqis going to do if they are refused asylum in the UK simply because they don't fit the category of 'the brightest' or 'the best', yet they can't return to their home countries due to fear of getting killed in the war?

The logic in the arguments put forward by the Tory-Lib Dem Government is not consistent nor humanitarian. What happened to all the talk about an accepting and tolerant new Britain?
