But aren't there 1.36 million unemployed Brits sitting at home claiming benefits?

 

That gets on my Wick.

 

I think you'll find that wages are now being increased due to inflation (driven by weak pound) and labour shortages than they were previously being depressed!

 

This is due to shortage of labour, it's not the same at all. We simply do not have the people to do the work. Demand outstrips supply, prices (or in this case wages) go up. There is no evidence that immigration drove them down.

 

So what you are saying is there are 1.36 million people in the UK who are totally useless and are not capable of doing anything?

 

Is reality starting to crash in on Alcazar?

 

Positive early start, redressing over a decade of cheap immigrant labour. Government will have to reduce state benefits and encourage work ethic.

 

Oh there's loads more than, that, some of them are working too

 

We have full employment you numpty

 

So bang goes your reason to vote leave.

 

​​​​​​I dont call one million and more full employment. I thought employers were short of workers, it cant be both
Unless you're medically unfit to do work, then a large portion of these one million plus can be put to work

 

So you know the breakdown of the currently unemployed, and you know better than economist as to what constitutes full employment?

 

So presumably, if you were unfortunate enough to lose your job through no fault of your own, you'd be happy to be forced to work as a kitchen porter for minimum wage?

 

Why not? Is there some shame in being a kitchen porter, when you're unemployed? Working doesnt preclude someone from seeking a new job

 

back to front.
the leave voters brought this about

 

I'd love to see that backed up with evidence

 

 

So basically possible employees from outside Eu are changing their minds about coming here

that could spell disaster

 

Worse than Tebbit

 

No shame at all. The point was about being forced to do it, and the fact that you can't actually make ends meet with zero hours contracts and minimum wage anyway.

 

So now you've got your wish, why do we still have to leave the EU?

 

Better than receiving benefits, wallowing at home. Do work offered or get no benefits, choice.

 

To be independent of all aspects of the EU, judicial, financial, borders etc etc

 

Stop all in work benefits too ?

 

This whole issue has got bugger all to do with benefits.

Basic maths should help you get to the real answer.

 

Any evidence AT ALL migrants have been stealing jobs would be welcome

 

I'm stealing a German job

...oh wait, we're trying to recruit at the moment and the only applicant is an Indian guy, maybe there's no Germans qualified (or willing) to do my job!

 

Me too

HP flew me over from the UK for my job. Maybe there are no Germans qualified (or willing) to do my job either

 

Hmmm... do you think sometimes countries could be dependent on migrant workers for high paying skilled jobs and not just the low paid unskilled workers? ;-)

 

Wash your mouth out!! You can't go round spreading gossip like that on here.
