meanwhile the number of people arriving on our shores will increase even further when the minimum wage is the highest in Europe and higher than many countries pay their highly skilled workers.....all of which sees more immigration allied to these tens of thousands of job losses in poorest areas because of the unrealistic unaffordable minimum wage rises.
