Boris caves in on fish

the facts dont really agree with that

"Reviewing 12 studies conducted between 2003 and 2018, MAC (2018) concluded that immigration had had little impact on average wages. Some studies (e.g. Nickell and Saleheen, 2015) had found a small negative impact on average wages while others (e.g. Dustmann et al, 2013) found positive average effects."

Rubbish, stop pretending to be in the building industry and speak to people who are.

Unlike Notch who believed posters on buses etc...... I voted on personal experience.
Is that wrong?
there is nothing wrong with anecdotal evidence, but you have to consider it in context with wider research.

I would agree in the specific context of new build construction, especially with the big 6, Eastern Europeans have lowered wages

but that can also be blamed on the profit motivation of house builders -using unskilled electricians for first fix then using certified ones for testing etc
you only have to look at the snagging problems of new builds to see the short cuts.

In the South East, local town builders and the smaller outfits -they all struggle to get labourers and always have done.

there has been a shortage of brickies for years -hence the daily rate going up to and over £250.

I had a sprayer leave a few years back -he spent about £3k doing an electricians course, he though he would be earning £50k within 3 months
 
:rolleyes: exactly absolute disgrace ripping people off

Through lies

they infest the construction industry like a decease
 
Than they are let lose on the public

Some of the work one comes across is. Shocking and a total. Disgrace
 
So basically. Notch, are you saying free movement in the eu didn’t negatively affect wages in this country.
No politician answers.
Yes or no.
