would be quite interesting to see the emigration rate too over that period

more false supposition

No one is under any illusion that these people are only coming for benefits. They are economic migrants that we don't need.

lets hope trump can get rid of political correctness and replace it with political truth

The Vote was Not

However, "some" who

that have become a mess...............

All the politicians seem to be afraid to speak about 'the elephant in the room' .

So if skilled workers aren't coming - and it's only supposition to think they aren't - maybe we could train British people how to be skilled workers? Seems like a great idea to me.

It is a great idea, if enough of them are willing to be trained and are interested enough. I have known quite a few people who would be happy to be trained to be skilled , if only they could get a reply to an application for a job, but therein lies the problem, who wants British workers?:shrug:

You imply that an employer would take a qualified foreign candidate over a qualified British worker. In the case of skilled workers, professionals, people with trade qualifications, I don't think that's the case.

Some skilled people from the UK are lucky enough to find employment, if they win the lottery of getting a response to their applications, but it is a fact that some employers appear to favour foreign workers over British workers. There could be varying reasons for this, I have heard quite a few British employers saying foreign workers are better timekeepers. I personally don't agree with that as I have known many people who are very good timekeepers and are British and the poor timekeepers are in the minority, only in my own experience, I cannot comment for anyone else.

I think that's mostly supposition. I'm sure there will be a couple of places like that... but most employers want someone suitably qualified to do the job and who speaks fluent English.

Yes, I know and you are entitled to your opinion on this subject, but I have known several people, very well qualified, in their chosen field, who have not even been given an interview with some British companies. One was a nephew who had a reply, got an interview with a British company and was interviewed by an Eastern European human resources manager, who employed an Eastern European person for the job. Who is to say who was better qualified to do the job?

It is a great idea. However we need to support those people whilst they are learning of course. We have a shortage of people training to be doctors and nurses and such as it is :S I don't think discouraging trained people from coming here is a good thing as it realy does seem we need them...I hope I am proved wrong though

I have worked with some of these trained professionals from the European Union and could not praise them highly enough as well as our own trained professionals, who seem to be in short supply, more's the pity as we need more young people to train in the professions , and then stay here in the UK.

Definitely. This is a huge reason why we have a shortage IMO. People train here, then move elsewhere to work. Probably as they are treated badly working here. No wonder we have a shortage of skilled workers really :umm2:

lets not kid ourself that greedy business will employ the lowest common denominator to make profit - they will disguise this with

"british people wont do the jobs"

what they mean is

we can get illegals and immigrants on the cheap and make more money

The british workforce has been undermined by greed

shocking

Yes LT
I am sick of UK Youths sitting on there FAT ass
avoiding Hard Work.

Enough is Enough.

We need national service for the young. army life for 3 years, make men of them, no phones or tablets only books and cold showers

teach them how to kill and polish shoes

:flutter:

Yes I agree
National Service


That will sort out all the young tibbers


Come on TS
you know it makes sense

Arista you can build hangers in Ireland to house them, ship them over in their thousands. Ireland can get many jobs here, bolster the economy as we train the youth in discipline. A win win scenario and blue print to sell to the commonwealth?

they will arrive back in the UK ready for work, trained in trades we need, no media studies:nono: - plumbers, sparks, mechanics, roofers, carpenters..

:clap1:

I trained with people and I worked with people, Vicky and the only reason they went abroad was for more money. None of them were treated badly and neither was I, but I did have some really sh*t managers, who would have made anyone move away, including myself and I did on one occasion. I moved to London for a few years, from Scotland and I loved it, sometimes I wish I had never ever came back here :hee: but I settled , happily :bawling: here lol.

TS can be a camp leader, we have to monitor his subversive views, but he can teach leadership and discipline. Yes we need to keep an eye on him but CCTV will be installed in every dorm in case he smuggles in a Guardian or New Statesman or Little Mix DVD.

Are you sure you're not treating them too gently :shocked:

Way to go for diversity!

Media studies - one of those airy fairy non-subjects that no-one is sure what people are actually trained to do. :hee:
