No *** Sherlock !
Really ?

In other news the sky has been proven to look blue. (Or grey where I am.)

Surely that was the main aim of allowing free movement of labour ? Everyone surely knew that.

Surely everyone knows that, don't they?

I put this thread on as a talking point, not because I am anti immigration. Ymb I don't understand your comment.
Ymb's comment is aimed at Carney, not you Linda.

Everyone knows what the Guv'nor only just seems to have realised, hence he is no Sherlock Holmes.

Thanks Gromit. I thought it was some kind of AB code!!
If he'd said it on AB a couple of years ago, he'd have been called a racist and/or a bigot. Still would by some of our 'Japanese snipers'.
Oh I thought the excuse by many was that they were doing jobs the idle Brits wouldn't do.

How times appear to be changing.
I will more than likely get slagged " Left wing" It's not the Migrant at all, the Government are intent to get rid of the Unions, your rights, & the British public are allowing it to happen, even though this lot got put back in, make the most of it whilst more to come.
TWR

How can making strikes more democratic for those members who have to suffer the financial consequences of being called out on strike by the union bosses, be getting rid of Unions or their members rights?
TWR, it was labour that opened the flood gates, not the Tories.

So are you saying labour want to break the unions etc etc ?
Young "No" what right WILL the workers have AOG would you work for a pittance whilst the cosy of living goes up?
The Blair Government was very business friendly (unlike Miliband). Businesses wanted migrants to be added to the jobs pool. More workers than their are jobs, means that employers can pay less. If there they pay easily wages and don't get workers they would be stuck. But if there are 10 workers for every job on offer, then someone will take it.

So Business supported Blair, and Blair encouraged migrants to come here.
* measly wages * not easily.

The Labour Party opened the floodgates to unlimited Immgration, we are now reaping the rewards of it,

If you were a Boss who had an Immigrant happy to work for £6 an hour why would you pay a Brit. £8 an hour, it's all down to economics in Business, and your beloved Labour Party are to blame.
Yes, and they introduced in-work benefits to subsidise their corporate friends.
svejk is correct.

// Taxpayers Subsidise Big Business by an Estimated £11 billion a Year

Posted by Jonathan Cox 1013.80pc on April 12, 2015
The UK’s low pay culture is costing tax payers £11 billion per year according to research released by community organising charity, Citizens UK, today.

With over 5.24 million people in the UK, 22% of all employees, earning less than the Living Wage, the Treasury is forced to step in and top-up incomes with in-work benefits, such as working tax credits, so that workers can afford a basic standard of living despite being in employment.

The research shows that in the case of some of the UK’s largest retailers, businesses are benefiting more from the Treasury in wage top-ups than they are paying in tax.

Tesco’s low pay culture is supplemented by the Treasury who had to top up their pay rates to the sum of £364 million in the last year, whilst pay for each low waged worker each year at the retail giant Next costs the taxpayer approximately £2,087.

Huge savings could be made to the public purse if companies paid a Living Wage to employees. If Tesco alone made the move tax payers could save £92 million a year. //
Yes, but the Tory's do love to exploit it.
TWR - yawn !!!!
