One of the big things about the Brexit was this low skilled not allowed in, staff for hotels, fruit pickers etc, I saw this as we need our cheap slave labour to maximise our profits, maybe pay a decent wage and people in this country might do it, students making their way through Uni etc.

Look forward to all your prices going up. I'll bet you voted for that. All your groceries, your council tax, your Nandos. And when you get there, your care home. £1,200 a week it is already in some parts. And it would have to go up even higher.
 
Some sense, just stupid letting politicians decide who and where they are needed.Or set arbitary obstacles like wages.

Somewhere in the middle there lies the answer bud, politicians deciding what staff a business needs wont work out well ,and companies wanting the labour just because it's cheaper than they would have to pay if they employed a UK worker need to be reigned in.

If the government don't want cheap labour in the UK put the minimum wage up.
 
Or refuse visas to low skilled workers which they are doing, it's been known for some time that companies have been going abroad and recruiting low skilled labour, now they'll have to rethink their strategy.
We keep being told we are at virtually full employment so we obviously need those workers. If the government think they are being exploited , then police it, don't stop the workers that are needed.
Immigration should be on need not income.

You and I both know we are not at full employment, zero hours and the gig economy mask those figures. As it stands we shouldn't trust companies who make profits off cheap labour to decide who we allow in. Hopefully the govt get to grips with this. There's also the self employed rules ie the big seller scam, there are probably many others.

So your saying your happy to have the good life on the back of slave labour, maybe open up a couple of sweat shops, you do realise if you pay better wages that then goes back into the system in the form of income tax, more people paying more tax equates to a better economy. Or low paid not as much tax, most of that money probably been sent back to the workers own country and not used here! In oldham around 65% don’t pay council tax, imagine if they could get a job at Nando’s on a decent wage, they’d pay council tax then, boost the local coffers, can only be a good thing. Get some of those lazy bastards off their arses as well.
I won’t be going into a care home, I’m off to Switzerland, one way ticket if it comes to it.
 
hasn't the Isle of Man been doing this for years ? I was wanted for a job back in around 2011, but I was over qualified and the company had to employ the lesser skilled person ( who still meet the advert requirements ) as he was Australian but just married a lady from the Isle of Man so I couldn't get a work permit.
 
Shall we let unelected companies who are hell bent on profit decided how to run the country?
No. Should we let the government damage those businesses purely on ideologigal grounds. If they can't recruit enough staff should the government refuse them access to staff on a purely arbitary figure, that they have already changed once.

So what’s your alternative to democracy?
