Farmers and the care industry will be badly affected by this. Others too, probably.
You Taffs can’t moan because you voted to leave in the Majority.
Obviously fruit and veg prices will ultimately rise as there’s nobody prepared to do the back breaking seasonal work.
My mother in law recently passed away, she suffered from Alzheimer’s and was in lowerth Jones for five years until they closed it and then landough.
The majority of staff of whom I had the utmost admiration had low paid menial roles.
Try filling those jobs...🤔
Macdonalds don’t even pay £25,000 a year so I think your government has deliberately set the wage criteria as a migrant feck off tablet!!
I’ve just done the online British citizenship test and FAILED
15 correct out of 24
I dare you lot to have a try and see just how many of you will be deported in the morning lol 😂
Last summer there was an interesting video taken, possibly by the Beeb, asking leave voters what immigrants we don't want. Each one of them was certain that we have too many immigrants coming in, yet when presented with a list of jobs that immigrants are known for filling, not one person could actually say what immigrants they wanted to stop coming in.
20/24 I can stay
it's easy..just jump in a dinghy..get picked up near dover..you're in.
The Tory plan sticks out a mile, it was always the way that the more well off in society ran the show, factory owners, head charangs of the large construction companies etc and it followed that these were Conservative backers. The EU to a certain extent stopped their gallop of shite wages, poor working conditions, flouting of health & safety etc. Immigrant workers were coming in and being treated properly and fairly, in my opinion that grated on many greedy ‘bosses’. It’s music to their ears now that many of the lower (but fairly) paid and lesser skilled operatives will be refused entry. Legal immigration will slow down but I fear illegal sweat shop immigration from non EU countries will increase and perhaps a blind eye will be turned by this Tory government to the practice of low wages, poor working conditions and H & E with an ‘If you don’t like it, f*ck off’ type of attitude. The less well off in society could bring facing Victorian like hard times.
I agree SP
Black market labour will flourish 🤨
In addition, the seasonal workers pilot will also be expanded in time for the 2020 harvest from 2,500 to 10,000 places, responding to the specific temporary requirements of the agricultural sector.
So that covers farming shortages.
21/24
Don't see how some of the questions are relevant to citizenship, though
13/24 second go 😂🤭
I hope immigrants give a giant 'V' sign to coming here. If we can't protect those coming into the UK to work for us, show them dignity and let them stay if work allows, then we deserve to be shat on.
I did a test had 22/24, but some of that was picked up in my 46 years.
Health and social care will be impacted on massively, they can't recruit into care posts now, never mind in the future.
There will be impacts in the health and social care sectors as well as farming and others. However, it what people voted for and democracy shouldn't be ignored.
Cardiff voted 60% remain so I can moan!
It's interesting as unlimited migration as permitted within the EU had both advantages and disadvantages, of course. Some people felt, justifiably or unjustifiably, that their share of the pie would reduce (i.e. regarding jobs, state benefits etc) but others will be aware of staff shortages that may now occur in various industries. An unfair stereotype and mentioned merely for the point of amusement would be an old person voting for Brexit not realising that their carers may soon be in short supply (although it could be argued that we should train our own people and they should be more highly valued by society in general and pay them a more competitive wage).
I am very pro-European myself and did not vote for Brexit but I do recognise that certain communities feel swamped by immigrants from elsewhere in the EU. In fact, last night I was informed by a German friend of mine that his local (and which used to be mine), which is in a rural town in Germany but on the Dutch border, has been taken over by Polish management, sells Polish beer and now had predominantly Polish clientele. Such an anecdote proves very little in itself but the nature of society changing so rapidly (and one in five German residents are now first or second generation immigrants) does make some people feel disenfranchised and/or disadvantaged.
The UK has always had full control over legal non-EU immigration. It isn't part of the Schengen agreement. It could even have delayed immigration from the EU by 7 years but chose not to do so in 2004 and 2007.
The idea that we have no control is just one of Johnson's Straw Man arguments: what you do is create a problem which doesn't really exist, using fallacious arguments, so you can then claim the credit for solving it.
This is a crowd-pleaser which a lot of people will love until they see that nothing has changed. The Govt will quietly create all kinds of exceptional categories and all will be exactly as it is now. NHS staff, carers, cheap car washes etc will still be done by 'immigrants'. And then the truth will come out.
British workers on low pay will still be low-paid. The unemployment black-spots will not create new jobs because of this. Hard-working people on council house waiting lists will still be waiting, paying through the nose for private rent.
But it looks good doesn't it. And in Brexit Britain, that's what counts.
It hasn't been ignored and it's going to make this country worse for those who voted for it.
Many were sold an unobtainable version of Brexit, the reality is what we are starting to see now.
22 / 24. There is no chance someone who has just landed on these shores would pass it, s'pose that's the idea though.
Dont decking drag me into this. Brexit is the biggest mistake the UK have ever made. I didn't vote for it. Neither did 48% of us.
I was speaking to a waitress the other day. Polish, has lived, worked and paid her taxes here for 16 years. Brexit has unsettled her so much she was still considering whether to apply for settled status which would then allow her to stay.
Made me feel physically sick.
This is not the Britain, I did, at one time, love.
A few years ago I did an office Christmas quiz with questions from the citizenship test. The most anyone got was 70%.
I remember one question about the Huguenots coming from France in 1671 or something. Why on earth is this kind of shite in there?
In the interests of balance I would like to point out that Brexit is not the biggest mistake the UK has ever made, I did vote for it, as did 52% of us. If only the other 48% would accept the result of a democratic vote, stop moaning and get on with it, the country would be a much happier place.
Lucky you don't have a history of sticking to your guns arguing about something unpopular despite being presented with evidence to the contrary 100s of times.
