Re: Brexit -no Better Off

On the point of cheap labour no one should be working for less than nmw no one. So labour will be at that rate before and after brexit. Eu workers aren't only ones doing those jobs although you'd never know it from what some say.
Holidays travel oddly that all happened prior to EU and will likely carry on after.

What I do hope is the people who chose to return to home countries will make their own countries better places to live as it must be hard for some of them with so many country men and women gone from them. Think about them not the selfishness of expecting them to work for you cheap labour !

Increased wages = increased prices, so the increase in wages is purely symbolic.

...Or, just simply reduced profit margins from greedy people?

Which is exactly the reason why so many big businessmen would like us to remain in the EU: cheaper workforce = bigger profits.

Is that how ALL of the remainiacs feel, or are some of them just naive?

Re: Brexit -no Better Off

People have to be able to live in their communities all EU has done here is push wages down and rents up so unless you can get social housing its impossible on nmw to afford a garage let alone a small flat ! I can only imagine remainers have decent housing or high wages and don't have to compete with young workers from EU.

Re: Brexit -no Better Off

Hi

I voted to leave, I am still of that opinion.

My concerns are about the technical side of things, how we make it work.

Leaving Euratom and the European Medicines Agency does not make sense at all, at least to me.

A few £Billion down the drain for no good reason.

Immigration I do know about, we have only just commissioned the survey into what we need to do, it does not report back for a year.

With the best will in the world we will not be ready for Brexit day on Immigration, even if we employ plonkers like G4S.

My Red Lines are very different from Theresa May's.

The Northern Ireland Border is for us to decide, the EU can swan off.

The EU can swan off as to what Benefits we pay EU residents here in the UK, etc etc.

Reducing profit= higher prices or many go out of business. Business is already struggling to maintain reasonable prices with the fall in sterling.

Hi

That is not how the system works.

Higher wages mean higher inflation, wages are lagging behind inflation already, it will get worse.

We should not be competing on cheap labour, the way forward is to train our youngsters for the more skilled, higher paid jobs.
