CB Fry Posted 28 May, 2016 Share Posted 28 May, 2016 A leave vote will stop it in time. A remain vote never will. Why would it stop it? Free market deregulation and binning of horrible old red tape plus "looking beyond old Europe and trading with the whole world instead which the Germans are definitely stopping us doing or something" (etc etc) do not create the conditions to stop it.

Let's see who the real winners are post-Brexit. Will it be big corporations, big finance and big internationalist governments, or will it be the old lady complaining about where have all these Polish shops come from. I know the answer to that question. The economy will take in who it needs. Boris won't be stopping anything. He's going to be Prime Minister, you know.

Well apparently Johnny Foreigner has to dance to our tune because 15% of their export trade comes to us while a mere 45% of our export trade goes to them. Therefore clearly we hold the balance of power in this relationship so they can go and do one ... or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted 29 May, 2016 Share Posted 29 May, 2016 Spoke to my uncle last week. The site he was working on employed a load of Romanians, and paid them in their own country's currency. Equivalent of £300 per month. Now you tell me that won't affect opportunities for our youngsters in the future. Bloody disgrace. I fully expect the ostrich brigade to defend it. How do these people live how do they pay for stuff like clothing food beer toilet paper etc What happens if they are sick do they go to doctors at least they wont be getting any benefits. But I do agree with your general point that there are employers taking advantage of foreign labour not only from the EU but also from the elsewhere in the world. This was something highlighted by Ed Miliband last year but the Tories have reduced the number of employees in HMRC to check that people are being paid the minimum wage. Unless it is stopped it will still happen even if we leave the EU it will still happen as we will still have high levels of immigration for very menial jobs I doubt many would like to pick fruit and vegetables and wipe old folks bums.

Because it looks to me like more opinionated guesswork. They might seem special to you, I empathise. To others they are government figures published widely. Despite the Tories 2010 pledge to reduce net immigration to tens of thousands non EU immigration (the bit we've got control of - the issue we're all voting on) is not only is higher than EU immigration but has been rising since 2012. Our super tough government with its super tough entry system allows in more people from the other side of the world than come from our near neighbours - people who could wake up one morning, decide to come and be here by lunchtime.

The people will decide whether this Government pay a price for failing to control its area of immigration . If , through incompetence , it allows 1mil non eu migrants in a year , we can kick them out . Who do we kick out if 1mil eu citizens arrive ? Where do you get the idea Tories are tough on immigration ? Tories always talk tough on immigration , but the realility is they are as enthusiastic as labour are . Big business love migrants because they drive down wage costs . Government loves migrants because it fills gaps in our education and props up our services . It's much easier to get midwives & nurses from around the world than to train and pay our own people properly. I've yet to see any government seriously try and control immigration , labour or Tory . The only dips in immigration happen when our country is unattractive to immigrants and on its downers . It has nothing to do with policy or will . They just won't admit it to us plebs.

The Brexiteers are asking people to vote to leave the EU and all the economic loss that will entail so that we can control our borders and reduce immigration. People are entitled to ask "okay so what are the government doing now to reduce immigration from outside the EU. They promised in 2010 to reduce it so obviously its going down right?"

I'm all for immigration, but only immigration that benefits the country and is controlled. This isn't just about immigration though is it. That's just one issue.
