Referendum : to be in Europe or not to be ?, that is the question ! (REF)     

required field - 03 Feb 2016 10:00

Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

if eu citizens had a statutory right to move and work in uk (until brexit), then of course employment agencies would look in that area for suitable candidates

or have i totally missed the point you were making?

This is an attempt by May to try and deceive people into the belief that she's
trying to control immigration post Brexit, and by saying, 'No job, You can't
move to Britain'...But these agencies just carry on advertising jobs abroad,
even when we LEAVE and recruiting foreign workers, thus they can still carry
on coming because the jobs will still be being advertised, and it fulfills the caveat
of having to have a job before traveling to the UK..

I said before the referendum and I will repeat now. I have no issue with people working here legally and contributing to the economy. Much of the care for the elderly rely upon EU workers who work long hours for minimum pay. In any case, any comments made before Brexit shouldn't be taken in isolation.

It should also include having accomodation arranged that isn't needed by
the indigenous population, or the 20000 Syrians thats due to arrive over
the next few years, not to mention the multitudes of other 'refugees'...

cynic - 06 Sep 2016 16:41 - 5146 of 12628

GB - we haven't left EU yet so of course agencies are still perfectly within their rights to recruit and ditto the employers

as for your last bit, that is pure surmise ...... and if there are job vacancies that cannot be (readily) fulfilled from the domestic market, then for sure it will be permissible to bring in outsiders
of course, if it's just seasonal work, then it may well be that the work permits have a very limited lifespan ..... but that is my own speculation

cynic - 06 Sep 2016 16:43 - 5147 of 12628

GB - 5146 - now you really are being totally fatuous!

grannyboy - 06 Sep 2016 16:48 - 5148 of 12628

There was a program on tv(hidden camera) about a month before the referendum
on the home care for the elderly, and it showed you these 'foreign' care workers
going into these old peoples homes, faffing about on their mobiles, sitting on their
arses then fricking off 10 minutes before their allotted time, plus there was one or
two that failed to give the old folk their medication.

grannyboy - 06 Sep 2016 16:53 - 5149 of 12628

cynic 5147, Its because these jobs are being advertised abroad that the
indigenous workers can't get them.

"now you really are being totally fatuous!" ... why don't you think its true?

cynic - 06 Sep 2016 16:58 - 5150 of 12628

that's bollocks!
of course "indigenous workers" can get these jobs, though many will not be prepared to work the hours for the pay on offer ..... i'll revert to my usual of courier drivers and agricultural workers and similar


it was your comment about the housing that was totally fatuous


oh jeepers ..... now we have post 5149
you must have been down the pub or worse at lunchtime and beyond

"that's bollocks!
of course "indigenous workers" can get these jobs, though many will not be
prepared to work the hours for the pay on offer....."

Not if if they're advertised in countries abroad, and on the one hand you say
they can get these jobs, then you go on to denigrate them by claiming they
would'nt want to work for less money and longer hours....Would YOU?

You also seem totally oblivious to the fact that foreign workers come here and
then 4/6/8/10 are sharing one house.

Not only is it hard for indigenous workers to find employment, they have to put
up with zero hours, or temporary or short term work, it also means there is a lack
of choice so its no good saying if you don't like your present employment find some
thing else.

And what's my comment about the housing that was totally fatuous,,,Please explain?

grannyboy - 06 Sep 2016 23:32 - 5152 of 12628

As to...

"ho jeepers..... now we have post 5149
you must have been down the pub or worse at lunchtime and beyond"


Yes I thought it was unbelievable if i hadn't seen it with my own eyes, after
all they are angels and we need someone to look after our old folk, and it wouldn't
look good if it was brought out into the publics gaze that if this is what we import
then I for one won't be asking for home help from our foreign 'friends'..

And judging by your testy manner i'd say your lycra cycling shorts are getting
too tight from the good life you lead...LMFAO!!

cynic - 07 Sep 2016 08:53 - 5153 of 12628

you seem to be MrT's protege
enough said

grannyboy - 07 Sep 2016 11:22 - 5154 of 12628

You seem like you can't put an argument together and could'nt fight your
way out of a wet paper bag...YOU limp wristed liberal wimp!!

VoilĂ  ... Before was the fence, now the Wall ........next try to keep them out in big numbers, but will the refuges have anything under the sleeve in the future! ........


Work on Calais wall to start this month, Britain says

LONDON, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Work on building a wall in the northern French port of Calais to try to stop refugees and migrants from jumping aboard trucks bound for Britain will begin this month, according to British officials.

Immigration minister, Robert Goodwill, told lawmakers that security was being stepped up in Calais, home to the "Jungle" camp where thousands of migrants fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa hope to cross the English Channel to Britain.

"The security we're putting in in the ports is being stepped up with equipment," Goodwill said on Tuesday, referring to a 17 million pounds ($22.75 million) package of security measures agreed by Britain and France in March this year.

"We are going to start building this big new wall as part of the 17 million package that we are doing with the French ... We've done the fence and now we're doing the wall."

The wall, which is expected to be four metres (13 ft)high and be built along both sides of a 1-km (0.6 mile) stretch of the Rocade port approach road, should be completed by the end of this year.

How stupid and waste of money. Have they never heard of a ladder, to climb over the wall?

Fred1new - 07 Sep 2016 12:11 - 5157 of 12628

I can remember the time of barb wire on the coastal beaches to keep the enemy out.

Unfortunately, the UK has its now has its own enemy within the UK "borders" who are wanting to put the wire up.

I wonder what it will cost to patrol the coastlines to prevent the other "enemy" ie. the "immigrants" from landing and invading the UK this time.

VICTIM - 07 Sep 2016 12:20 - 5158 of 12628

Probably no more than all the money WE would spend giving them a house and paying them to live on for the rest of their lives .

ExecLine - 07 Sep 2016 14:59 - 5159 of 12628

Now 'ladders are easy' but they do leave a need for you to add an extra sparkle to your 'Immigrant Wall Jumping Kit' with a pair of helpful accessories for both sides of the wall:
