What has Theresa said today?

You dont really need anecdotal evidence, just ask someone who works in those industries. Look at the evidence of why people voted Brexit in Labour stronghold working class areas - and the evidence is right there for you on a plate.

Nonsense. They voted Brexit in the main as a protest.

Take South Wales. Are you seriously telling me that huge swathes of immigrants have had an effect on wages? Really? Absolute bollocks. It's interesting that immigration is seen as a problem in Wales, yet it's a part of Britain that has been far less affected by immigration than most other areas (historically Wales is mostly made up of immigration, but that's another story). The parts of Wales that voted Brexit most strongly are the areas that have had the lowest amounts of immigration.

Too many people swallowed the bullshit the media gave them. Too many people have been swayed by the blame immigrants tale, in the same way that they are swayed by the benefit scrounger tale. It's called divide and conquer. Blame those in society that can't fight back.

Brexit is a sham. It won't make any difference to the type of immigration people don't want (only the UK government can do that). It won't make any difference to wages, until we fail to get trade deals and we're living in UK PLC sweat shop and wages go down.

It wrecks my head every time.

Loads of people voted for Brexit cause of immigration cause they seen rent, house prices go up. Wages flat line n fall compared to inflation. Standard of living plummet, less security or a sense there of. Fkn jobs where you are on a endless repeat of 8 week conrtacts through agency's who rob you're money cause next man ready to fill youre boots.. No pensions. Que for the doctor that you used to see at a shorter notice. Bigger school classes, less teachers. Less public service's and spread more thinly.

It ain't racist to think so like some would say (not you guys) and it don't make you stupid but it does fudge the issue. Immigration has always been in the hands of the government the same as investing in things have. Seems they can't do either. Non politically speaking they all a shower of c*nts cause all of the 3 are involved in this crock.

I don't think EU migration is the root cause of all of this. Non Eu migration must surely be culpable the same. Is migration even part of the problem. You cant just let folk come n set up life's. Work hard pay tax but then not build any new houses or schools or NHS provision to accomodate such an increase when you couldn't even provide in the first place.

Maybe the government likes it like this. Maybe. Blame each other instead of them for the abhorent lack of ambition and investment that is on show and the feckin sh*t standard of living that keeps you awake at night now.
