This attitude is devastating to productivity though. I think the confusion comes from the term "unskilled", which in fact more accurately means "without formal qualifications". You can't replace an experienced migrant worker with an unmotivated, slack-jawed local and expect them to work to the same standard. Yes there are plenty of unemployed people in the UK but the ugly elephant in the room that no one seems willing to address, is that many of them are simply unemployable in MANY "unskilled" roles.

Besides cons dropped quietly their 100 thousand annual limit on immigration
So much for brexit meaning lower immigration.
One big con

Can you explain why farmers were complaining about the lack off workers to pick fruit?

A Conservative election candidate has stepped down over historic social media posts about a Labour MP and Colonel Gaddafi.

Antony Calvert, who was standing to be MP for Wakefield, also made comments about food poverty, as reported by the Sunday Times.

The 41-year-old said the Facebook posts were more than 10 years old.

Mr Calvert said his comments were "certainly not intended to cause any offence".

In one post, Mr Calvert is said to have written that if former Libyan dictator Gaddaffi wanted to walk the streets unrecognised "he should surely have fled to Bradford".

He is also accused of criticising the appearance of Mary Creagh - who has been Wakefield's MP since 2005.

In a statement, Mr Calvert said: "Over the last 24 hours a number of very historic posts from my personal Facebook timeline have featured in the news media.

"While I would prefer to stand and fight the assertions, these comments represent neither my views nor those of the Conservative Party."

Mr Calvert's decision to stand down came days after Tory candidate Nick Conrad stood down for historic comments in which he said women should "keep their knickers on" in a conversation about rape.

And Labour candidate Gideon Bull resigned in Clacton, Essex, after it emerged he had used the word "Shylock" during a private meeting.

I wonder how many others are frantically deleting social media posts

Lots... I'm glad that there is a fire against fire approach to this campaign, the mud slinging is in full swing. The only worry is it keeps the real mud off the front pages, Russian influence in the last election, giving public funds to busty blondes and whatever else has been shelved until after the election.

The conservatives are relying on it being a brexit election though. Can't have your cake and eat it.

No they aren't. Don't be ridiculous. Less than 1% of labour members have been reported for antisemitism. Remind me again how the tories are addressing their islamophobia issues.

By screeching about Labour and hoping that the voting public has a short attention span.

If only there was a word that could describe the jewish people being used to whip up a political frenzy based generally on lies and smears.

They don't have to address those issues. It's quite telling in itself really; the Tories are tearing into Labour over anti-semitism because they know the accusations will push voters away from Labour. There is no point at all in negative campaigning against the Tories using their Islamophobia, because Tory voters could not give fewer fuques that the Tories are Islamophobic. In fact, pointing it out would probably win them more votes.
