A thank you to Brexiteers.

Lamenting the lack of Tory commitment to Thatcher’s free markets.
Care homes are desperately short of staff - why no emergency UK visas for them? | Simon Jenkins
The government’s lack of regard for the care sector crisis is clear, says the Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

Solidarity is needed, not more exploitation of poor immigrants.
The #ToryScum prefer to exploit their own as well as immigrants

thank you.
Its spot on, imo.
To be fair they have only had five years since the Brexit based on lies and racism.

“We cannot point to one historical example in which a temporary labour shortage has been remedied with a temporary labour migration programme, and then employers returned to hiring local workers.” A favourite aphorism of migration experts is that there is nothing so permanent as a temporary migration programme.”

“ Earlier this year, when a colleague and I investigated the scheme, we spoke to indebted workers from Russia and Belarus who felt trapped on farms which were not giving them enough work, but whose recruitment agencies would not agree to move them to a different employer.”

One of the better article I’ve read from the Remain side for some time. Finally, some of them are openly expressing the logical conclusion of their politics: support for endemic low pay in certain sectors of the economy, open support for exploited migrant labour on the clear principle that it’s a tap richer countries should expect to be able to draw upon and bravely extolling Thatcherism. Fair play to Jenkins for his honesty.

i don't suppose there's much in the way of unexploited labour either foreign or domestic.

Indeed. But the question in this case is whether you write Guardian think pieces extolling it’s virtues or not.

Northern Irish unionist parties form alliance to oppose Brexit protocol
Four parties including DUP and Ulster Unionists issue statement warning of ‘grave damage’ under new rules
“The huge disruption of trade in the supply of goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland has caused unnecessary supply chain disruption and unacceptable and unsustainable levels of bureaucracy and barriers to trade within our own nation.
“The resulting diversion and reorientation of trade is destructive of Northern Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom and will result in an economic realignment which is unacceptable,” they said.
They can smell the coffee.

The migrant workers from poorer countries all over the world coming here on temporary visas, the ones that the UK seems most likely to become reliant on, are like in 39thsteps quote.
Pre-brexit most of the ‘migrant workers’ in the uk were free at least in theory to live here have babies here get healthcare etc if they wanted, it’s not really replacing like with like, it’s loads worse isn’t it?

The UK has placed restrictions on temporary visas. Five thousand temp lorry drivers restriction won't entail becoming reliant on these workers.
