The data show that the number of jobs in the UK has risen by 2.12 million since the first quarter of 1997. At the same time, the number of UK-born people in work has risen by 385,000, and the number of non-UK born in work has risen by 1.72m.

So, roughly speaking, you can say 81% of net jobs created in the UK since 1997 have gone to people who were not born in the UK."

"Start with an easy one: how many of the new jobs created in the UK since 1997 have gone to "foreigners"?

 

 

The pedantic answer is we can't possibly know - there is no exact record of the jobs created since 1997, still less a register showing who those jobs went to."

 

You should read your own links. Also, from 2010.

Most Brexiteers respect democracy which means that everyone respects the outcome of the 2016 referendum if people want a 2nd vote on the type of deal fine no problem but you can't ask the same question again that was on the 2016 referendum ballot paper so REMAIN is not an option on any future ballot papers for the next 20 years

By that logic neither, is LEAVE.!

Thats correct as the outcome of the 2016 EU referendum was 52% to leave so any future referendum the options should be

no deal or May deal

You can easily find out yourself. Visiting some building sites would be a step in the right direction.

 Just yesterday in our local Lidl supermarket, I got into conversation with one of the assistants. He found it very easy to obtain employment in this area, even though he’s Romanian, due to the fact he’s only about 23yrs old, speaks very good English,university educated. As I say just a shop assistant.

Meanwhile there are many young Brits, who want to work hard in this area who would love his job, but not being university educated, the same as 50% of today’s school leavers,what chance do they have, against such competition, to obtain this low paid work. 

 Average minimum monthly salary in Romania is approximate £235. While for a graduate it’s £260.

 Again yesterday I was informed about one local business, that has amongst their staff, a Polish girl, who is responsible for recruitment. Unfortunately she’s biased to only employing Poles, for no other reason that they are fellow Poles. So unlike some so called Brits who always seem to prefer to discriminate against their fellow countryman.

But why should selfish people be concerned, about other,when it does’t directly affect them

 These are of course only small examples of what is taking place throughout the country, and people wonder why Nigel used the slogan,

” We want our country back”

 

I went in a Poundland shop in South London today and not one of the 'assistants' were English. Mind you I was probably the only Englishman in the place.

 

I asked one woman where they kept a certain item and she said, 'Sorry no speak English'.

It won't be the same question. It will be remain or accept either Ken Clarkes deal (remain in the CU) or May's deal. Up to the house which option they put forward. Could be decided on Monday.

 

For me, I would prefer Remain/ Ken Clarke. Either would remove the need for a backstop, which has been the main sticking point all along.

Not sure why you think Monday when Theresa May made it clear on Monday and again at PMQs, that she will not necessarily accept any Brexit plan that emerges from the indicative votes process.

And yes if there is a 2nd referendum Remain can't be an option as that question was already answered it 2016 when 52% of the voters that voted voted leave

You still cannot get rid of your german paranoia,like millions who voted leave,i wonder if germany were not in the EU what the result would of been

By your argument the 2016 referendum should be "null and void" because the 1975 referendum was 67% in favour of remain.

Of course if Germany had not been in the EU then there would not have been an EU in the first place. France and Germany at the time realised that European conflict was to the detriment of all and only benefited  the US who lent money. Hence the need to bring Europeans together to end war after war. The UK crawled and grovelled to join the EEC (as it was known then) continually being consistently stopped by Charles de Gaulle, the French turncoat, who as a brave General was sheltered during WW2 by Britain. Its not the Germans people should be knocking ( our Royal family is of German descent), but the French. They will never forgive the Brits for locking up Napolean.

Are you sure this report which was published in 2015 indicates there was  6,210 Portuguese nationals claiming UK JSA

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jan/19/-sp-thousands-britons-claim-benefits-eu

 

The 2001 UK Census recorded 36,555 Portuguese-born people resident in the UK. More recent estimates by the Office for National Statistics put the figure at 107,000in 2013. The 2011 Census recorded 88,161 Portuguese-born residents in England and Wales.

UK Employment

Figures published by the Office for National Statistics show that in the three months to June 2008, 82.8 per cent of working-age Portuguese-born men were in employment. The figure for women was 68.8 per cent. The unemployment rate was 7.4 per cent for men and 9.8 per cent for women.^[19] 10.5 per cent of Portuguese-born men and 23.8 per cent of Portuguese-born women were economically inactive (this figure includes students, carers and the long-term sick, injured or disabled).^[19][20]

Plenty of brits claiming benefits in the wealthier northern european nations..less so in the southern as you would expect..and 3x more claiming benefits in eire than there are paddys in the UK. More or less evens itself out but not exactly what we were told by farage and co pre referendum
