If we stop foreigners from working in the UK, and foreign countries stop UK citizens from working there

IIRC we're a net investor abroad - we spend more money investing in foreign companies than they do investing in ours. Obviously any move to increase protectionism invites other countries to go 'We-eell, perhaps it might be a good idea to SLAP A MASSIVE TAX ON ALL UK INVESTMENTS' or similar. I'm not sure this is necessarily the answer.
If you want my opinion, which you probably don't, we need to stop treating skill, professionalism, loyalty and craftsmanship as undesirable attributes to be hammered out of our workforce.
