It's the likes of you I feel for most in all this. Fooled into voting as you thought we'd get rid of all the funny foreign types and just blindly insisting we leave, come what may. You are so unprepared for the upcoming events it's eye watering watching you posture on here because we can see what you're walking into blindfolded.
Which is why I don't have to

It's only a problem if you voted Leave to keep out immigrants ... and we keep being told that wasn't the main reason. So, that's all right.

Those people I know who I know "of an age" all voted Leave because "we are full". It was all about immigration for them.
They chunked that because we're now getting immigration on the rise from non EU countries.
Good grief .... you're hard work ! I refer you to my post about what remainers said we would lose by voting to leaving during the campaign ..... or were they lying ?

I get the concern people had about uncontrolled immigration and "a city the size of Newcastle arriving every year" but only half of this total was from the EU.
Whether it is right or not to curb non-EU migration this government is committed to getting net migration down to the tens of thousands but even leaving aside the EU part it is miles off it's target with non-EU migration.
The UK could have helped shape EU policy on inter-EU migration because it is not in the EU's interest to have barren states where those with skills have upped sticks and gone to the richer Northern European nations to make a living.

You undercut the local labour force by pay less than the local labour force are being paid but by paying no less than the minimum wage. Even your light grasp of logic must be able to understand that
So you agree that the remain campaign lied then ?
What the fvck are you on about. Here you go, in Janet and John form just for your simple mind :
John is a British labourer, John earns £10 an hour on a building site. He thinks £10 is OK but could be higher. He is above the minimum wage so there isn't much he can do.
Along comes Thomaz, he is a Polish labourer. He tells John's boss he and his mates can do John's job for £8 an hour. John's boss is happy - it means he'll have more money for biscuits and yet he is still paying more than the minimum wage.
John is now unhappy because he has lost his job. If only he'd been happy to join the Polish labourers on £8 an hour.
They're in for a rude shock then
You are spot on. The problem here is with greedy businessmen not immigrants. There is a reason immigrants come to the UK, it's desirable. Make it less desirable and they won't. That way the number of immigrants drops but we can still get around the EU unhindered but in typical little England style we choose to ban all FoM and cut off our noses to spite our faces.
It's nothing to do with the minimum wage and everything to do with supply and demand. In the case of low paid jobs, there being too much supply due to the flood of Eastern Europeans coming here to earn more than they can in their home country.
I've seen some fvckwit posts on here over the years but that question must be in line for a gold medal !
My guess is that there are two main reasons why immigrants head for the UK. Firstly, if they speak a second language, there's a good chance it will be English and secondly, there's less bureaucracy here: we don't have identity cards, immigrants don't have to register, they turn up and they're good to go. And people can be hired (and fired) with greater ease here.
I can't see that leaving the EU will change any of that.
That's the thing that was so obviously ironic from day one. For SOME (not everyone, I'm not calling YOU racist, whoever's reading this getting angry), mass immigration from "other" cultures was a reason for voting leave.
EU immigration will go down, and inevitably non-EU immigration will go up. SOME people's Leave votes will backfire quite spectacularly.
No at all. It's because your question is a stupid one that even you could answer. The under cutting of wages is because there are more people in some labour markets than there are jobs so employers have a greater choice of people and can suppress wages. That number of people in some labour markets has been inflated by immigrants from Eastern Europe. I don't blame the immigrants personally for doing so .... I'd do the same. I blame the freedom of movement - you can't deny there are more people in the labour market if people are attracted from outside the UK because of higher wages and how easy it is to come here ( assuming you are from the EU of course ).

I think immigration will go down, and I'm hoping we won't be subject to these EU rules on FOM. Everyone can be treated the same then. It's up to the government to put in some proper rules across the board and only allow people in who will add proper value to this country.
You keep going on about the minimum wage - it has nothing to do with immigration keeping wages down. Regardless, if you really think the minimum wage is acceptable I'd like to see you live off it ..... especially given your past rants about not being able to buy a property.
