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....

Would "Freda " and "Stanislav" be put on the aeroplane also, sure they are not skill enough
and a bit handicap by now to do manual jobs........


Britain considers tough curbs on EU migration

LONDON, Sept 6 (Reuters)- Britain is considering measures to restrict immigration for all but the highest-skilled EU workers, a
leaked government document said, plans some companies called alarming and an opposition lawmaker described as "plainly cruel".

Large flows of migrants from the European Union were one of the reasons some Britons said they voted to leave the bloc
in a referendum last year, with one of the Brexit campaign's main slogans saying Britain should "take back control".

But companies, especially those in the catering, social care and retail industries which depend on the steady stream of workers
from abroad, say they fear a restrictive immigration policy after Britain leaves the EU will leave them unable to hire the staff
they need.

In the document, leaked to the Guardian newspaper and marked 'draft - official sensitive', the interior ministry said Britain
was changing its focus to make sure, where possible, British companies take on British workers rather than migrants.

"Put plainly, this means that, to be considered valuable to the country as a whole, immigration should benefit
not just the migrants themselves but also make existing residents better off," the document said.

A government spokesman said the government did not comment on leaked draft documents. "We will be setting out
our initial proposals for a new immigration system which takes back control of the UK's borders later in the Autumn," he said.

The government has also said it would listen to the results of a year-long study it commissioned in July from the
Migration Advisory Committee to look at the impact of migration and how best to control it after Brexit. ...........

note: "Freda" sure is not skilled, as her - picks - are too large and spoil the thread

Mental,

You seem to me to be so short sighted I thought you might be more able to fathom out the implications behind the cartoon if large enough.

Mind you may need a helping hand from a "carer" sometime in the near future. I wonder which country she/he will be from?

I hope that they read your diatribes before they assist you!

Freda

things you got wrong

I am not a supporter of the "Cons" as you are insinuating with the pick ( cartoon ), but I am a supporter of Britain OUT of the EU

EU has been managed by the French and Germans to get the best for them, but it is the Germans who got all the best out of it,
due to having the same currency as the other countries ( when before the Mark was too strong for them ) and better Industry
to compete with them

Mental,

Who rejected the Euro, and hasn't the UK been trying to disrupt the EU and attempting to get its own way for 40+ years. (It has failed to do so, perhaps the UK arguments for changes have been dismissed by 27 (now) other members, while they accepted Germany's approaches.

Try joining the New UK Nasty party. You may feel at home in it unless of course, they reject you.

Freda

re - cares

I am well aware of the needs of old people, as for many years I have doing voluntary work on the evenings,
but sure we do not need foreigners to do the job as you suggest.

I have many examples during those years visiting people in need, it comes one in mind at the moment.

An old man 93 ( West Indian ), was managing well by his own, but then got a bad leg and the council send carers,
almost a different one every day. One in the morning to do breakfast and cleaning the dirty dishes, and another one
late afternon to do a sandwich and much the same. (They had a code for key entry )

He told me a true story as the house when visited was well damaged ..

He said .... one day he was still in bed when one African woman asked what he wants for breakfast, he said "porridge"
and a cup of tea.
she did not know what porridge was , so he said just make me a couple toast and a cup of tea.

She burn the kitchen as she put the gas hob on and put the electric kettle on top, naturally,
you must know what happens next.

and I have many more of such things, though all are not as bad, and others are very good.

note - this case is not of a EU citizen

Mental,

To me, you are a foreigner.

OUT, OUT and OUT

two wrongs, doesn't make it right

Just wondering whether UKIPPERS' and Brexiters' party is the new home of yesterday's football hooligans.

Same sort of chants and behaviour patterns.

Freda

Getting into fantasy dreams or most likely hallucinations without any "pot", I heard mushrooms do that

I am none of the above and never was of any political party

My only sport association was with athletics, where I became a "champion" at 23, my only thing left now is much the same figure,
though the time has gone since as I am about 4 "pounds" heavier, so the elasticity is slowly diminishing.
My parner thinks she has a better figure, I would say, she is right, specialy with the top part.

note- Lunch was supper and the pudding almost as good.

------------------

Just as well we did reject the Euro or we would be in a terrible state , poor old Fred ,he's as thick as Stanley ..

Say good night Dick.

For Dumbo.

Watching the news yesterday and only moaners about the leakrf document were Butlins who said 30% of their staff were from overseas and someone making cakes.

Up until 10 years ago Butins had zero EU staff so they'll manage and I'm not a big fan of cakes so that'll be no great loss.

Labour playing silly buggers, just like the ones here >>> Freda and Stanislav

Brexit: MPs to begin scrutiny of vital withdrawal bill - 7 September 2017

Labour says the government will use Brexit to accrue huge new powers
MPs from all parties have been urged to "work with" the government to pass its main Brexit bill as they prepare to begin debating the legislation.

The EU (Withdrawal) Bill will end the supremacy of EU law in the UK dating back more than 40 years but convert all existing EU laws into domestic ones.
Labour says it will vote against the bill as it stands, saying it amounts to a huge power grab by the executive.

Ministers say it is an "essential foundation" for post-Brexit Britain.
The UK is due to leave the EU at the end of March 2019 following last year's referendum vote.

Negotiations between the two sides on the terms of exit are ongoing, with the European Union publishing its latest set of position papers, including one on the crucial issue of the future of the Irish border, on Thursday.
The government has insisted that the withdrawal legislation, informally known as the repeal bill, will provide legal and practical certainty for the UK as it prepares for life outside the 28-member bloc.

While overturning the 1972 European Communities Act which took the UK into the then European Economic Community, the legislation will ensure all direct EU laws applying to the UK will be transferred onto the statute book and continue to have legal force after the UK's withdrawal.

Dil,

Lazy Employers in this Country have been winging for years about "can't get the staff" without actually training people and paying decent wages and conditions.

Pay peanuts you get monkeys, pay nothing... you get nowt.

Sssh,

Dil likes being a monkey.

I'll agree with those two, Stan.

I don't understand why we can't find Brits to do UK jobs -
Stan shine light, pse...
---- is it UK-Co's won't pay enough . . . OR is it that with local uncertainty no-one in Britain, wants to move to an unknown prospect ( when even BigCo can sell-out, there being no G'tee of long-term progress anymore ).
Where Johnny Foreigner scores is they are already working for an even worse prospect ( er, as they see all UK as being Much Better, perhaps?), so they are prepared to take the RISK, esp in the belief that even if it doesn't work-out, they can benefit by staying here . . . the "Job Application" is just their push to taking the plunge..... and bringing their family members here, in good time.

As far as UK-Co's concerned: they believe this new employee will "Do the Job" - but in reality they maybe don't care , if it squeezes the remaining Employees . . . who may fear Redundancy, Factory Move, or daring to Ask for more...

As to the NFU telling us ( News Item this week), that Lincoln's farmers need to Import field-workers . . . . Where are the imported Workers from last-year? Is this a continuous stream, or are these really refreshed from seasonal work throughout Europe? I get the impression we need ever-more and each year's import just "melts into the towns", never to "field-work" again - or am I reading too much,, as I though we imported most of our food, so the Lincolnshire field-work should be automated, removing the drudge.

We, UK, should be wary of Population growth . . . we are already "Too Full" for many regions' infrastructure . . . and [ Eleph in Rm ], what happens when Automation replaces 60% of jobs . . . . I won't cry over Estate Agents/Solicitors, but there is a long-list of so-called "Professionals" that will be replaced by websites offering better outcomes; each feasting on AI -via the Cloud . . . probably passing PROFITS to US citizens. Meanwhile our Euro-Governments squabble over Treaty wording . . . . ignoring the massive Luddite-unrest scheduled for c.2040. I find that a real worry . . . and a good-enough reason to achieve immigration as a generous negative number... to minimise the numbers of unworkers.

........................ ............................................ ............... ..............
If you want to see this happening;- look to Uber replacing our taxi-drivers....Once driverless cars are permitted, Uber drivers won't be needed...they're pawns in a "Bigger Picture". I find the UK-Gov. attitude very "Short-term" - as I guess their only concern is not doing anything - that might prevent their re-posturing for re-Election.

Grr. all round.

Hangon, you have it in your early words "is UK-CO'S won't pay enough" combined with their reluctance to train their staff themselves at their own expense and not to expect us the tax payer to foot the bill for them.

Sorry I have not read the rest of your post yet as I have something to do but I will later.

Is it time for your afternoon medication Stan ?
