Missed this yesterday. 'This powerful link to educational attainment could stem from the lower qualified tending to feel less confident about their prospects and ability to compete for work in a competitive globalised economy with high levels of migration'. Is a pretty brutal assessment but must have even a subconscious truth to it.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

People in particularly areas are concerned, in many cases naively

I have a work colleague who has mentioned the presources but it's interesting to note that in six years off operation, our company has not hired a single immigrants. They didn't stop him getting is job :p

We did have a 23 year old Portuguese lady apply for one of our roles, one of the directors was keen but sadly we had a lot of decent candidates

It's very much a perception issue imho. In many cases migrants help to prop up industries which we take for granted.

Are modern migration numbers simply down to living in a more globalised world because of the internet?

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

It is quite strange that the right wing soy both that their policies have brought unemployment down to the lowest levels for about 10 years @ circa 5% and at the same time blame low wages and British people not being able to get jobs on immigration.
Somehow the two don't add up

So, are you sad that there were qualified British people, or would you rather have given the job to somebody from abroad just because they are?

So, as i said on the thread yesterday, The intelligent people who said vote remain or we will go into recession and the country will fall to pieces were right, and the unintelligent who voted remain who maybe realised this wouldn`t happen were wrong then. why have the intelligent ones have to come out and say they were wrong?

I see those very clever people at PricewaterhouseCoopers, who last year wrote the a report claiming Brexit would cause a “serious economic shock”, costing £100 billion and 1 million jobs, have today performed a complete u-turn and are now claiming Brexit will see Britain enjoy GDP growth faster than any other major advanced economy in the world over the next three decades. They say GDP growth will outstrip the US, Canada, France and Germany with average annual rate of 1.9%.

Please enlighten us - when are they right?
Is it when they provide a story that you approve of?

How much was guess work & how much is still guess work?

I'll bet you a pound to a penny the PWC report you are paraphrasing was significantly more nuanced than you are suggesting.

Edit: Yup. The report is nothing like you've suggested. You've cherry-picked the worst numbers, removed the caveats and assumed all the worst-case scenarios. http://www.pwc.co.uk/economic-services/assets/leaving-the-eu-implications-for-th

errr, but they said we would go straight into a recession, which they have come out and said they were wrong, it`s got nothing to do with negotiations in the future

Maybe the large amount of money pumped in by Q.E. had something to do with that =Actions by Gov B.oE ?

You don't think the future is important?

We live on an Island that relies on Europe for a great majority of our - Food, energy, fuel and components / materials to keep our manufacturing going & you don't think the future is important?

We can't even make our own electricity - some comes by cable from Holland & France and what is generated here is done by Non UK companies & you think none of this is important????

People who have already saddled themselves with crippling debt are voting to stay in a system of crippling debt. And they say Stockholm Syndrome is a fallacy.

of course the future is important, i have never denied that, and of course we will deal with Europe. We will lose out on some things and gain on others, but, we now have more countries lining up to do deals with us already which will benefit us all. the old saying of never put your eggs in one basket is true still today as it always has.
