A thank you to Brexiteers.

That’s less surprising than the fact that we apparently need more graphic designers.

what sort of chemical scientists do you think £10.53 p/h buys? not chemists with a degree and experience within the nuclear industry, i suspect.

try as they might no artist will ever be able to cause something like this at work

Yeah idk. Maybe it’s a job advert to try to entice people to defect from unfriendly countries.

i don't think i'd want a defector who could be so easily bought

Yes! Its great isnt it. Like it could say, 'care workers' 40% of going rate'. That would be good.

Well I suppose it’s consistent. Remoaniacs, who are de facto supporters of exploitation of cheap EU labour, railing against limits being placed on exploitation of non-EU labour.

by non-eu labour i don't suppose you mean the people unfortunate enough to be british and resident in the uk

Which side are you on boys.

 

[philosophical]

Hilarious really that you assert this. The French and Germans run the EU for their own benefit. They never gave us the steam off of their piss let alone a policy driving seat.

Hilarious really if you think the pre Brexit EU was simply a German and French project.
Even more hilarious that you use the word ‘their’ when the EU was everybody, and the benefits such as they were or are are EU wide.
Research the voting/decision making structure as was to ascertain where steam from piss went.
What next?
Will you sing ‘two world wars and one world cup’ and ascertain that the French were cheese eating surrender monkeys?
Or live off the steam of the piss of your fellow brexiteers Jacob Rees Mogg and Marc Francois?

What are you on about? You think the list is there in order to make sure people are not exploited?

Just as “much of Leave seems stuck, unable to move beyond its victory”; a victory that came from a long-game of moaning especially following the result of the 1975 plebiscite vote to accept the U.K. state’s accession to the EEC.

The continued polarisation of electoral politics and the new long game of capital’s culture wars stem from the division and strong association with binary nature of 2016.

I read your first post regarding this and didnt quite grasp what you were trying to say, Can you flesh out your assertion that Brexit 'came from a long-game of moaning especially following the result of the 1975 plebiscite vote to accept the U.K. state’s accession to the EEC.'?

And now our waste water is becoming more poisonous. At least partially acknowledged as brexit related.

 

[ska invita]

I mean whilst the government talks about the glorious freedom of open market trade deals with the emerging economies of asia-pacific and all that, i do think that the act of voting leave & the idea of brexit was - for many - an 'anti globalization' choice.

smoke and mirrors
Global Britain (empire 3.0) is all about deregulation and accessing cheaper markets - the fact it was presented as the opposite is ingenious slight of hand bullshitting
Just as Farage can say (in a private video) what he really means: we need to sell off the NHS and have a US insurance model, whilst saying to the wider public getting out of the EU will be more money for the NHS
they are spectacular liars and adept and stringing people on

Yeah I think you’re probably right, people might have voted out of anti globalisation sentiment but that’s not what brexit is going to give us at all, not in the medium / long term, quite the opposite. See also- less British food & more imports.

Good article on the complexities of worker shortages and the impact on the economy.

Is creating worker shortages by restricting low paid immigration a good idea?

If you think only the UK wanted to exploit cheaper labour, then I'm afraid you're mistaken.

Whilst it isn't true that only the UK wanted to exploit cheaper labour, it certainly is true that the Thatcher government were one of those pushing hardest for greater expansion to include poorer Eastern European countries, precisely because of the possibility of greater exploitation of cheaper labour from those countries.

Yeah these things are incredibly complex with so many moving parts - partly what makes economics such a non-science.
For example the increase in wages for some driving work has supposedly seen a number of skilled drivers change employees to that better paid job and leaving a vacancy behind them - taking advantage of the golden handshakes also - rather than bringing new people. Leaving the overall problem unchanged.

From the piece: Its a good point made about state workers - shortages do not increase wages there.
The stuff about a drop in population from less (migrant) workers creating less demand and reducing overall profits is classic Marx - ( is it the falling rate of profitability? i never could get my head around the jargon. it might be another phrase)

There was a lot of research on this pre-referendum. My memory of it was it was expected wages would rise in small and particular pockets of low-paid work, but the effect would be very limited in the wider economy

Yep. And council jobs, like bin lorry, will not find it easy to compete with Waitrose.
I find economics totally fascinating, it gets weirder the more you try to understand it.

* PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A NATIONAL DELAY ON THE DELIVERY OF FLU VACCINES DUE TO ROAD FREIGHT ISSUES OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL**

We have suspended the booking of flu vaccinations and have cancelled the existing clinics on the 18th - 24th September.

Once we have a delivery date confirmed, we will try and transfer your existing appointment time to the new date and we will update you.

Can you flesh out your assertion that Brexit 'came from a long-game of moaning especially following the result of the 1975 plebiscite vote to accept the U.K. state’s accession to the EEC.'?

This Wiki page has some useful lists of Anti Common Market/EEC/EC/EU pressure groups and parties towards the bottom of the page. Although some deserve a little more digging like the UKIP listing that misses its Anti-federalist league origins.

For more depth, this thesis is pretty useful:

Guardian letters

There are about 600,000 people holding LGV cat C (rigid truck) or cat C+E (articulated lorry) licences in the UK who do not currently drive trucks for a living. Why would they want to return to the job? Facilities are poor, the hours brutal and the responsibilities onerous.
