It will be interesting when the border between the North and the South becomes the new border between the EU and the U.K.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0

What relevance does it have. Can you explain yourself?

The revolution from the ground up is precisely what is needed to bring us together in a share new journey
So much bad feeling resulted from the fact the liberal rulling class became utterly detached from the lives of the working class.
The working class don't want more regulations to ensure a NMW wage is paid, they want a pay rise and this is impossible with limitless mass immigration. Whilst they suffer in silence the privileged lofty elites smugly read the Guardian and think Owen Jones has the answers
mass unskilled migration helps put the lower skilled uk born workers up a tier or two on the skill/wage spectrum.
Long term unemployment (those unemployed for 12 months or more) is only 1% in the UK. That means if the poles are washing the dishes, stacking the shelves, collecting the rubbish, then the uk workers are not unemployed but employed in something more than that.
of course if a UK born and bread citizen, in a country with just 1% unemployment decides that they can only do minimum wage jobs they dont benefit much but for everyone else which is probably in excess of 95% of the population they are better off for it
Also a young unskilled (or skilled) migrant coming and working in the UK (and remember unemployment is only 1% so virtually all of them are working) likely pays a good deal more in taxes for the next 40 years than they take out0 -
No he's part of that great deaf liberal elite monolith that has stifled the working class voice, endlessly lecturing them that mass immigration is brilliant and enriching, as they sit in their £1m London homes with not a financial care in the world
Labour must ditch its lemon hierarchy
I've long been fascinated how hierarchies tend to loose touch with their voters / people / staff / customers. Its a disease on society.
Been on about this for 25 years when I realised the companies I worked for were all out of touch with the ground floor - often graduates at the top that have no domain specific experience
There was only really one real negative in being in the EU and that was that England has per capita a lot less landmass so benefits less from the farm subsidies or to put it another way the ~£10B net contribution was the real net negative.
Net migration inwards of young workers is brilliant economically. In a country with 1% unemployment (unemployed for 12 months or more) the migrants arent taking jobs they are creating demand and employment0
