"...and that's before we've even left the EU. Once we do, and we have to make concessions to the other 95% of the world that we want trade deals with, the numbers will more than likely soar. As long as we have control though hey? "Why? Aren’t things supposed to go to pot once we’ve left? | |||

Why? Aren’t things supposed to go to pot once we’ve left?"Do you call "more immigration" as "things going to pot"? | |||
"Who exactly have they been relaxed for? " Right now for tier 2 visas from non-EU people. | |||
"Who exactly have they been relaxed for? Right now for tier 2 visas from non-EU people." And the two tiers separate people on what criteria? | |||
"Who exactly have they been relaxed for? Right now for tier 2 visas from non-EU people. And the two tiers separate people on what criteria?" Tier 1 is for super rich people, like Abramovich, Tier 2 is for skilled workers. | |||

Do you call "more immigration" as "things going to pot"?"You are the one who keeps saying that the economy will suffer once we’ve left the EU yet now you say that immigration will soar once we’ve left. What will all these immigrants do? | |||
"Who exactly have they been relaxed for? Right now for tier 2 visas from non-EU people. And the two tiers separate people on what criteria? Tier 1 is for super rich people, like Abramovich, Tier 2 is for skilled workers." That sounds good to me  | |||
"...and that's before we've even left the EU. Once we do, and we have to make concessions to the other 95% of the world that we want trade deals with, the numbers will more than likely soar. As long as we have control though hey? "Exactly ?? nothing wrong with that ! | |||

"Hurrah, an outbreak of pragmatic governance. The NHS is desperate for doctors. Had non-EU docs ready to join, their visa applications into Government. Government said No. Fookin’ idiots. Rudd has gone, Javid rules and May has bowed to common sense. It defies belief they refused in the first place." A cynic might think that someone's been playing the long game.  | |||

"Aye, playing politics with your health and mine. Scumbags." Well, I'm of the opinion that all mps and governments worldwide hold us all in contempt. But they know what's best for us eh? | |||

You are the one who keeps saying that the economy will suffer once we’ve left the EU yet now you say that immigration will soar once we’ve left. What will all these immigrants do?"The economy *could* still suffer *and* immigration *could* still soar. One doesn't have to be dependent on the other. Immigrants will do the same thing they've always done: work. Different aspect on the whole issue (and this is not a reply to you personally Ben. Just an additional thought in general) : I don't understand why some people are opposed to unskilled/low-skilled immigrants coming over. Personally, I'd much rather *they* come over and do all the jobs we don't want to do, instead of the high skilled jobs, thus competing with the *local* talent/jobseekers. | |||

"We may not want to do them, but with millions out of work, then we should be doing them. Whilst people sit in poverty on benefits (if they actually get any!) it makes no sense to decrease their chances of finding work. I think shortly, our government, whoever it be will be telling people that unless they take these jobs, which they have now conveniently brought up to minimum wage (officially) will not receive any benefits at all. Its coming and they've been working towards it for a long time. | |||

"...and that's before we've even left the EU. Once we do, and we have to make concessions to the other 95% of the world that we want trade deals with, the numbers will more than likely soar. As long as we have control though hey?
Why? Aren’t things supposed to go to pot once we’ve left?
Do you call "more immigration" as "things going to pot"?
You are the one who keeps saying that the economy will suffer once we’ve left the EU yet now you say that immigration will soar once we’ve left. What will all these immigrants do?
The economy *could* still suffer *and* immigration *could* still soar. One doesn't have to be dependent on the other.
Immigrants will do the same thing they've always done: work.
Different aspect on the whole issue (and this is not a reply to you personally Ben. Just an additional thought in general) : I don't understand why some people are opposed to unskilled/low-skilled immigrants coming over. Personally, I'd much rather *they* come over and do all the jobs we don't want to do, instead of the high skilled jobs, thus competing with the *local* talent/jobseekers.
Maybe if the jobs we don’t want to do paid more then we might want to do them and ‘they’ wouldn’t be exploited . Or do you think it’s ok for ‘them’ to live on shit wages here because it’s better than the no wages in the country that they came from, thanks in many cases to crap EU monetary policy?"Precisely! Who sets and/or allows these rates?
Had it been the EU, many of you would be screaming and shouting about oppression, imposed laws etc. Yet, you ignore the fact that it's *our* government's(s') doing and instead blame the immigrants for "taking our jobs".
The countries "they"'re coming from could (possibly) blame the "crap EU monetary policy". What's *our* excuse?  | |||

No. I want a country where a bloke who has just been made redundant and walks into a job centre isn’t told that the only available job is shovelling shit for 8 hours a day for £7.50 an hour and if you don’t take it there are ten Italians (insert any nationality) in the queue behind you who will take it because they are living ten to a room and have low overheads. It disgusts me
And yet I doubt you are willing to pay more for goods and services, or vote for the party that introduced the minimum wage.
Then you doubt wrong
Yeah? Big Labour voter?
Nope never. But your ideas on immigration just perpetuates the race to the bottom
Right, so you never voted for a minimum wage then. Really shows how much you care about it then.
That is because the minimum wage is a political con. Before it’s introduction wages kept pace with productivity and company profits, now the gap is huge and ever widening. But as an EU supporter I wouldn’t expect you to see the bigger picture
You seem to be suggesting that Remainers can't see the big picture? You mean people like Stephen Hawking? Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron? MI5, MI6 and GCHQ? NATO? Yeah, it's obvious that people who support the EU can't see the bigger picture!

How are we protectionalist against Africa ? " Nigel Farage said it once and so many brexiters now use the same line without having a clue what is behind it nor how it was expertly debunked by the Professor guy from Liverpool. France & Germany both trade more than the UK does with countries outside of the EU (including Africa). In fact, their external trade is growing as the EU grows because the deals that the EU are making on behalf of the increasing bloc are far better than what Germany or France would get alone. The UK for some reason is seriously lagging behind Germany & France despite having very very favourable trade terms. Perhaps the UK needs its own worse trading terms and then it can show the Germans & French how to trade. Oh, the irony of the world that we are living in at the moment. | |||
"...and that's before we've even left the EU. Once we do, and we have to make concessions to the other 95% of the world that we want trade deals with, the numbers will more than likely soar. As long as we have control though hey?
Why? Aren’t things supposed to go to pot once we’ve left?
Do you call "more immigration" as "things going to pot"?
You are the one who keeps saying that the economy will suffer once we’ve left the EU yet now you say that immigration will soar once we’ve left. What will all these immigrants do?
The economy *could* still suffer *and* immigration *could* still soar. One doesn't have to be dependent on the other.
Immigrants will do the same thing they've always done: work.
Different aspect on the whole issue (and this is not a reply to you personally Ben. Just an additional thought in general) : I don't understand why some people are opposed to unskilled/low-skilled immigrants coming over. Personally, I'd much rather *they* come over and do all the jobs we don't want to do instead of the high skilled jobs, thus competing with the *local* talent/jobseekers.
Maybe if the jobs we don’t want to do paid more then we might want to do them and ‘they’ wouldn’t be exploited . Or do you think it’s ok for ‘them’ to live on shit wages here because it’s better than the no wages in the country that they came from, thanks in many cases to crap EU monetary policy?
Precisely!
Who sets and/or allows these rates?
Had it been the EU, many of you would be screaming and shouting about oppression, imposed laws etc. Yet, you ignore the fact that it's *our* government's(s') doing and instead blame the immigrants for "taking our jobs".
The countries "they"'re coming from could (possibly) blame the "crap EU monetary policy". What's *our* excuse?
It’s the EU that encourages these rates through the free movement of cheap labour. And I am not blaming the immigrants I am trying to protect them!"Really?! How is that answering my question? They can "encourage" all they like. It's up to *us* to *set* rates. *Our* greed and willingness to shamelessly exploit people and situations, is *not* on the EU. It's on *us*. Which, in addition, leads me nicely to the recent news about doctors and nurses from non-EU countries. One of the reasons why *we* don't have enough doctors on the NHS (apart from not training enough) is that, the conditions, hours and pay for doctors is so shit that *our* doctors move to other countries to work (3 of my GPs' in the last 10 years moved abroad. 1 to New Zealand, 1 to Dubai and 1 to Sweden - but that's fair enough because his wife was from there). We, then, have to look for doctors in other, far away countries and give them the *same* conditions, hours and pay (that our *own* doctors didn't want to do, hence why moving away) rather than *improving* the conditions, hours and pay so that our *own* doctors wouldn't leave in the first place and/or there'd be more people wanting to train. But I suppose that's not *our* fault either. It's probably those damned airlines who made it easy for people to fly around the world. It's never us. It's always someone else's fault. | |||

I can see that side of it but lets be blunt.
The EU doesnt encourage cheap labour, it happens as we
A), dont invest enough training in our own population to keep them competitive at low and mid skilled proffessions.
B), we dont impose regulations on abusive hours as strongly as we should.
C), we've prolonged the living wage debate for too long.
D), many people are not exposed to the true scale to which tech is taking jobs, tightening the roles for labour further.
Brexit wont solve this.

But I suppose that's not *our* fault either. It's probably those damned airlines who made it easy for people to fly around the world. It's never us. It's always someone else's fault.
I haven’t got a clue what any of that was about. Maybe if you used * a bit less it would be easier to understand
*...* = capitals/emphasis (to avoid the written equivalent of "shouting").
But, that's cool. There are a few others who can decipher my attempt for a netiquette
Fair enough. But to answer one point, it’s on us to set good pay rates and not exploit people? It’s not the EU’s fault? *WE* are the bleedin EU so in on the racket. But not for much longer thankfully "Your point is that once we leave the EU, the payrates will magically go up here? Are you serious?! If anything, things in general will get worse because it's the EU that insists on workers' rights  There's nothing in EU rules/laws right now that "forces" us (which is what the Brexiteers' issue is) to pay people a pittance. It's, literally, ridiculous that, for the things we're free to do as we like, we don't do the right thing and, for the things we aren't, it's the EU's fault! Who's fault is it gonna be Ben when we leave the EU and can no longer blame them for things we have full control over? | |||
"So is the ‘exploitation’ of philipana nurses the UKs fault or the EUs ? I think the point is the Uk have control here (or the companies within) ... but maybe I missed it the point !" Who poaches the nurses? Us or the EU? Have you heard of many Phillipino nurses working in Italy for example? | |||
"...and that's before we've even left the EU. Once we do, and we have to make concessions to the other 95% of the world that we want trade deals with, the numbers will more than likely soar. As long as we have control though hey?
Why? Aren’t things supposed to go to pot once we’ve left?
Do you call "more immigration" as "things going to pot"?
You are the one who keeps saying that the economy will suffer once we’ve left the EU yet now you say that immigration will soar once we’ve left. What will all these immigrants do?
The economy *could* still suffer *and* immigration *could* still soar. One doesn't have to be dependent on the other.
Immigrants will do the same thing they've always done: work.
Different aspect on the whole issue (and this is not a reply to you personally Ben. Just an additional thought in general) : I don't understand why some people are opposed to unskilled/low-skilled immigrants coming over. Personally, I'd much rather *they* come over and do all the jobs we don't want to do instead of the high skilled jobs, thus competing with the *local* talent/jobseekers.
Maybe if the jobs we don’t want to do paid more then we might want to do them and ‘they’ wouldn’t be exploited . Or do you think it’s ok for ‘them’ to live on shit wages here because it’s better than the no wages in the country that they came from, thanks in many cases to crap EU monetary policy?
Precisely!
Who sets and/or allows these rates?
Had it been the EU, many of you would be screaming and shouting about oppression, imposed laws etc. Yet, you ignore the fact that it's *our* government's(s') doing and instead blame the immigrants for "taking our jobs".
The countries "they"'re coming from could (possibly) blame the "crap EU monetary policy". What's *our* excuse?
It’s the EU that encourages these rates through the free movement of cheap labour. And I am not blaming the immigrants I am trying to protect them!
Really?! How is that answering my question? They can "encourage" all they like. It's up to *us* to *set* rates. *Our* greed and willingness to shamelessly exploit people and situations, is *not* on the EU. It's on *us*.
Which, in addition, leads me nicely to the recent news about doctors and nurses from non-EU countries.

I’ve just watched that segment and he didn’t mention big business. Apologies if it was on another part of the select commitee. | |||

No not really, well not unless your assuming less than 100,000 people built the UK!. Typically for the last ooo 1000 years immigration to the UK was really quite low | |||

"We have to remain competitive for migrants, so that we're more attractive than other countries. This includes ease of access, wages, cost of living, work experience offered as well as having a welcoming environment and population. The UK is not no 1 any longer and the current EU migrants have a right to stay here for life potentially - which means that the under-invested in schools, hospitals, housing and services not only have to be invested into to catch up but an awful lot more has to be spent too, so that you can cope in future. But your government is about making it harder for you, as you are on an austerity plan, so that you get substandard lives. A portent of things to come? At present it's tough for business to plan much, as the government keeps delaying publication of more Brexit plan details. " Lol | |||
