That’s not 'caring' in any sense. Where would you go if you did leave?

It's a tariff and quota free trade agreement. The requirement to fill out a form does not stop it being a free trade agreement.
Three that have gone on to make their own businesses. One that came to me a labourer and left as a brickie. Loads of casual labourers. I have found work/jobs for other (decent) young lads that came to me as work experience too.

The country doesn't need your type of patriotic stance, flee when the going gets tough and stay when it only suits you.

It is a simple fact that we have neglected the building trade for years regards apprenticeships, We always struggle to get the right caliber of sparks to work for us. We have advertised a job for 3 months and no takers. Another problem is that the young lads nowadays are not interested in putting in hard graft for a living, not all but it certainly is not an attractive proposition for them.
Nonsense. There have been grafters and pen pushers since pens were invented.
Quill pushers?

Not nonsense at all. Not many young kids nowadays look upon grafting for a living as a desireable alternative to a career of earning a living from a technology based career.
I'm around young people daily. I ski with them, golf with them, work with them and have brought up two of my own. Their attitude to grafting hasn't changed throughout the decades.
On the other hand - once a person becomes a certain age, they either become a gammon and start despising the young, or they have a modicum of intelligence.
A free trade agreement with masses of red tape, mandatory customs declarations, rules of origin compliance, and Export Health Certificates.
The country doesn't need people like you who vote in a way which damages the country, and then couldn't care less when it all goes wrong.

I stick things out, when the going gets tough the tough get going. A much better attitude and what this country needs, you on the other hand are welcome to leave.
