Is There an Economic Case for Leaving the EU?

I'm both pro immigration and anti the EU.

As someone who's worked in senior levels in industry, I can say for sure that the UK needs the skilled folks that come over. Most folks arriving are better qualified, and have a far superior work ethic to many locals. It maybe unpopular but this is a fact. I've been in businesses where our progress has been hampered more by the lack of talented staff than anything else.

I worked in a pan European company and there wasn't any notable difference between abilities of people from different countries. That was also a "fact", using your definition.

Far more people go into higher education in this country now. We are upskilling the young. The UK workforce is also remarkably resilient to changing work demands, which shows in the levels of unemployment here compared with France or Spain.

An now my post about previous posts having been deleted has also been deleted.

This is a 'debate', Stalin would have been proud of.

Anyway such threads are no debates at all, just a pure waste of time and free pages views for the site owners.

As such, I'm off.

That's me trying to keep the thread on topic.

I accused the points of being off topic. Stick to the topic and your posts won't be deleted.

You mean like your post on the other EU thread?............

Why do you hate foreigners?

You need to take a leaf out of your own book...You seem to overplay your importance on the forum , your just a bullyboy.

Hypocrite................Stretching the "staying on topic" to its limits.

There's no innate or prescribed right to respect from one's subordinates, peers, or superiors.

Indeed.

A simple concept that many here seem unable to grasp.

Hence why they are ignoring the questions.....

Really and here was me thinking you were ignoring my post about 'leakage' resulting from immigrant workers buying more imported foodstuffs and sending a proportion of their pay 'back home'.

Also the discussion about infrastructure expanding to meet the demand - should happen except constraints due to zoning/planning rules means this happens very slowly if at all and with such inelastic supply extra demand leads to an increase in all prices such as rising rents which in turn put a high burden on the tax payer because of the welfare system underwriting such costs.

Surely those sorts of minor issues are really just extensions of the old balance of trade discussion, being discussed here....

Also being discussed in the other thread.
