We have the minimum and living wage for the lower salaried jobs and we need the migrants to do a lot of that other work that either the locals don't want to do or can't get to or simply are not enough of them to fill the vacancies like agricultural labour and the service sector in London's eateries. The nursing, engineering and building industry, perhaps? Again, we don't have enough UK-born workers to fill those vacancies. I know some Polish plumbers will be undercutting the £50 an hour local firm but that's just business, isn't it? And it's hard to feel sorry for someone who is basically charging an extortionate rate anyway. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

No. Of course they are political choices but as it stands we need our migrant workforce. Thems just facts.

All you are doing is highlighting a problem we all knew existed anyway for donkeys years and withholding any sort of tangible and assured solution. The British kids you mention can get those jobs - with the right skills. The vacancies are there. No stifling of wages. A lot of them are highly salaried. The problem is, of course, 'the skills'.

A benefit of living in the EU is that you can work for an employer willing to hire you in another member state without complications. That's all it is. It's a market and when it changes people will go to a new location according to their wishes and employers requirements. There is a chronic problem of skill shortage here and we are often reminded of it and here S is right but its a political decision by a UK govt to change this. The majority of immigration is from outside the EU and is within our control already. Ministers have already given notice that immigration from the EU will not necessarily be lower as a result of brexit.
