    then why aren't wages more or less the same all over the world?

    Minimum wage regulation in much of Europe.

    Why is much of Europe experiencing high youth unemployment? Jobs heading to India and Asia perhaps. Globalisation is about profit not people.

    Well it really depends on what timescale doesn't it. Knife crime is definitely up since the invention of the knife, but down since 2010.

    The onus of proof isn't on the reader of your nonsense though. That's your job.

    What do I think caused it? Plenty of reasons, all different for each thing I'm sure.

    Sickining behaviour by some of the Tory leadership contenders refusing to tell Eurpeans already living here that they can definitely stay. :(

    May is likely to win and be in power so she is keeping her powder dry. The others have nothing to loose so will promise or say anything.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    if that were so then, most wages would have gravitated to the minimum and massive unemployment would be universal across the EU and indeed Aus, USA, NZ, Canada etc.

    it would seem to me that this isn't so and other factors explain most unemployment levels and actual wage rates.

    Piece on the BBC now about difficulties in NHS recruitment. Sure in the future we will use points based immigration system but until that is in place we need to keep eu migration in place for NHS recruitment and the current uncertainty will kill this.

    Political statements by various Politiciens competing for power will in no way diminishe the huge uncertainty surrounding the status of EU free movement.
    I should know as I am a British Citizen living in another EU Country (Luxembourg)
    You, sitting in the UK with a British passport, just can not imagine how this uncertainty would or will effect people's plans.
    Yes there are people who will put there trust in a Politiciens campaigning statement, but frankly I would consider that to be foolish.
    If I were a skilled employee with an EU passport (not British) working in the UK I would already be considering my options which might include leaving the UK with my family.
    The reverse would also be true. Would I except employment today in the UK, take my family and my future to a Country that may turn around In two years time and say "don't loose your job as if you do you must leave the country" or "you have not been here long enough to have a right to stay"
    Single people with no family ties may be prepared to take those risks or lower skilled people may be desperate to do so.
    Some say these things will never happen BUT we are in the land where things that have never happened before have happened.

    This once again is an example the damage that can, may be done.
    i.e. damage to Britain by a thousand cuts
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    And that is just since 24th June!
    To err is human, but it is against company policy.

    What happened before? People still worked and travelled abroad. Resettled in new countries. So much hot air over nothing.
