The jobs the people voting for Brexit didn’t want to do. And if I may remind you, the Leave Campaign made frequent use of immigration, including numerous posters and images depicting migrants. The images Leave chose to use and the fear Leave were stoking was not of EU citizens. How’s that going post Brexit? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're 'avin a larg, aint ya? Endless flow, taking all the jobs, there's now a chronic shortage of nurses, doctors, service staff, agricultural workers and goodness knows what else. All the EU workers were forced to leave and Jonny Brit is not stepping up to the plate to fill the gap because he/she's either not trained/qualified or not interested in that kind of work. Every country has people from other countries it relies on to fill labor gaps, in Thailand we rely on Myanmar and Cambodia, the UK used to rely on the Irish, in the 50's/60's we relied on India and Pakistan, until recently we relied on the EU. Today we don't have anyone although it looks like illegal Chanel crossings may soon solve that problem!

Economists consider that when an economy is operating at a rate of <3% it is at 'full employment' which means that it will be difficult to fill any vacancies from the local workforce i.e. it will necessary to import labour. 14 hours ago, puchooay said: Why don't you lobby the layabouts to pick the vacancies up?

If there are labour shortages, then that would need to be addressed, either train people to do the jobs or lower the work visa requirements to allow people to enter the UK to work .

For once I agree. There is, however, a simplified solution for the tory party, just ensure only one candidate gets the required 100 nominations. Problem is they won’t do that because there is no one capable of uniting all the factions that have engulfed the party. No matter who leads a significant number will be unhappy and unwilling to accept the result. The party needs a wholesale clear out and reboot. #generalelectionnow Edited October 23, 2022 by Bluespunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
