Well the clip is cut short for some sort of comedy but she was using it as an example, it's a good example because prets are everywhere and part of their success story is their staff who are usually from all over Europe. It's a great British business that would never had its success without the immediate availability of staff， where Eu freedom of movement is a major benefit and how brexit will stutter and hinder our economy. Instead of understanding the message we just get the usual sneering narrow minded remarks from the leave side

Is sacking people and replacing with machines taking back control?

Just my opinion but shutting down food and drink establishments and replacing them with a vending machine doesn't sound like progress to me

But you’re assuming progress is mutually beneficial. If the company can maximise profits they’ll automate whatever and whenever they can. It’s already happened at Smiths checkouts and supermarkets all have self service tills.
There are robots in Japan which can easily cope with anything a waiter has to do and there’s no need to tip them either. If pubs still exist in 30 years there won’t be anyone working in them.
Driverless trains and cars are already here.

Sure, but that's a luddite argument.

I'm not saying that the luddites didn't have a point however, I don't see how it can work. If your competitor either here or overseas uses more cost effective technology than yourself then it simply comes down to time.

Humans will be a diminishing part of the process until they aren't required for the customer's experience.

But if they lost, which seems to me very likely............. I suspect we would end up with an even more divided Parliament than we have now. Who-ever became the biggest party would again be forced into coalition or making "arrangements" with others. As that could well be Labour do you really want to risk that?

Conservative activists are not representative of the country at large. They are just representative of a particular viewpoint which you probably share. Mrs May, and the Tory hierarchy, have no choice other than to be mindful of that, at least until Brexit is done, one way or the other. After that they can do what they like, but the evidence from other countries, Spain being the most recent example, is that if the centre right governing party swings right, to try to stop the advance of an emerging further right party, they get slaughtered by the electorate.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

When you give over power to corporates and business, you lose the national integrity of your nation because it only comes down to profit. Outside of most of EU Europe, in some rich Asian countries for example they have rules that govern how these businesses can operate to stop that....for example who can own and run what.

The western neo liberals don't care because ultimately they are nihilists who only concern themselves with their personal living standards and bank balance.

The far left are anti nation anyway believing in global governance and utopias that don't correspond to the tribalism inherent within human nature.....as they think human nature is malleable.

There's no conspiracy but unfortunately all three of these groups find themselves traveling on the same road out of shared interest.

When the destination of their travel results is a 's***e sandwich' I'm not sure that the genuine differences between them even matter that much.
