It's common knowledge and a well known fact that those with higher levels of education have attained those levels at the price of common sense. Common sense is common, so how will you differentiate yourself in the workplace? Learn a skill or get a qualification! We're not going to leave the EU because people decline to learn!

It's technology, artificial intelligence, and obsolescence of skills. For sure, a strong UK depends on remaining in the EU, retooling, retraining the workforce for a modern world, not bemoaning the taking of legacy jobs, which will disappear anyway.

Grouse Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 42 minutes ago, yogi100 said: The unemployment figures can be deceptive with many on minimum hours employment schemes and many in their late teens and twenties registered as 'students'. Look at the economically inactive figures for those of working age as well. There are over 8.5 million of them. Our manufacturing base has been drastically reduced in the few decades we've been in the various versions of the EU. More people are now employed in the public sector of the UK than in our manufacturing industries. Where do you get 8.4M economically inactive from? The retired? Under 8s?

Guest Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 1 hour ago, yogi100 said: Just take a look around British towns and cities and you'll see our young unemployed youth loitering about while foreign scabs are doing the jobs our people have traditionally worked at for donkeys' years. And as we all know young men with time on their hands invariably get up to no good. This free movement of labour is turning the UK into a social disaster zone particularly in our urban areas. Just so employers can access cheap labour. Is this a problem only found in UK or does other EU members suffer from similar activities where other EU members take the jobs, which the local youths don't take? If it is, then why?

nausea Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Too late now, what's done cannot be undone. The UK's greatest bargaining card was alway's the "threat" of leaving. You've made your bed, lie in it. As a by-product we do have some insight into the motivation and true intention of politicians. No cloud without a silver lining. Reminds me of a song: Ha! Some hope.

Take a university wallah and see how he gets on working on a building site or a job that requires practicality and see for yourself. You'll give him a shovel or a wheel barrow and he'll spend the next twenty minutes looking for the starter button! Doing simple tasks like digging holes with a shovel, picking cucumbers, cleaning rooms in hotels, washing cars, Hamburger making by mc donalds, lawn mowing, etc. I did not know that the brexiters are so keen on these jobs. Great wealth is not there to be expected. This is where research, knowledge, new processes, new technologies and new products are much more economically important for a location in a globalized world. Ask Vacuum Cleaner Dyson why he builds his new technology center in Singapore. Furthermore, in order for the new products to be competitive in the long term, a company needs large quantities in order to achieve cost-reduction effects. In turn, you need access to a large market. So far, British researchers have been highly successful in competing for funding. The European Commission's EU research program Horizon 2020 alone has received 4.6 billion euros since 2014, according to the authors of the analysis. And the UK has coordinated more projects under Horizon 2020 than any other country. With 3515 projects, the British are ahead of Spain with 2358 and ahead of Germany with 2106 projects. "In the case of a no-deal Brexit, Britain loses around 45 percent of its research grants," says Mike Galsworthy, director of the "Scientists for the EU" campaign. That would be according to his calculations, almost 580 million euros per year. But it has always been like that, some must digging and the others let digging.

I am sure the UK is a lot better off within the EU. But for all the Brexiters and especially the hard Brexiters I hope they crash and burn. You really deserve what you will get. Just yesterday I read an articles that many Tories want Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg or David Davis as their PM. How deluded must these voters be to even dream about that those incompetent morons will be able to make things better? They talk a lot about unicorns. And it seems lots of people still believe them. Unbelievable - except it really happens. I am sure lots of people in the EU dream about how wonderful life could be without the UK. Your hopes for a 'crash and burn' means both sides will crash and burn together. A very bitter comment in respect of the majority who voted out. Let me guess which way you voted? I guess you didn't!

On any boards covering Brexit it is becoming increasingly normal to pull lumps off each other instead of engaging in humour or banter. I for one am getting tired of it (protagonists know who they are!) and have found twitter etc far more enjoyable and informative. Need I say more? Back to the board...
