Decades of industrial decline, companies leaving, high unemployment, foodbanks, Eastern Europeans living on the streets hand to mouth.
Foreign pickpockets, imported murderers.
It was shit.
And then we voted to leave.
Get over it losers.

Yes, membership of the EU failed for Britain.
The only thing we have to endure now that Brussels is out of the way, is the continuation of the meltdown from the chattering classes.
Ho Hum.
I see the hospitality sector has raised wages now that the surplus of cheap labour has been removed from the labour market. Good news!

Where I live, some businesses are closing down because they cannot get workers
The UK economy expanded because of the ready supply of labour from Europe, and now that the supply is drying up, the economy is slowing down.
Suella Braverman suggested the other day that we must train our own people to pick fruit, but that is not going to happen. British people will not pick fruit and vegetables from fields and orchards, and thats a fact, and some businesses will go to the wall.
Our own people will not do the jobs that Eastern Europeans did, they will not do repetetive work, labour intensive work, they will not work with fish in refrigerated working temperatures. They will not work as waiters or waitresses, or work evenings, nights, weekends.
Small to medium sized businesses canot put up wages, because if they did it would make them uncompetetive, it would give the EU an advantage.
There simply is not enough British people who are unemployed to do the jobs, and raising wages will make foreign imports more attractive. If you seriously believe that raising wages will solve the problem, you are seriously missguided. Raising wages adds to inflation, it makes the end product more expensive.

British people always used to when the pay was good enough.
Why should we create an imported modern slave class?
Pay people PROPERLY.
Get school leavers doing the jobs and they'll appreciate having cash before they go on to college and university.
I did shitty jobs after I left school and I would again if I had to.

Good to see those on the left advocating a low pay, low productivity economy.. Warms the cockles..  |

Back when we were in factories closed all over the place yet remoaners blame anything except the anarcho capitalist economic Darwinism of the EU.
Peugeot Ryton the old Rootes Group factory closed.
Rover's Longbridge closed.
Ford Dagenham and Southampton stopped vehicle production.
Thousands of jobs were lost.
There were eastern European migrants living destitute on the streets before the 2007 financial crash and some of them died.
It was a fucking shambles.
We're a good deal better off now.
Trade has recovered. Taking inflation into account, we're still selling £90+bn more than we used to. Plus we're not wasting £10bn a year post rebate on membership.

If you seriously believe that raising wages will solve the problem, you are seriously missguided. Raising wages adds to inflation, it makes the end product more expensive. There are over 5 million people in the UK who are perfectly capable of working but choose not to. The reason why they don't want to work is that our benefits system is now so generous that it's perfectly possible to live quite comfortably without working - and of course some of them have a sideline working for cash in their spare time. The solution to this problem is not to rejoin the EU, but to reform the benefits system. At the very least there should be a limit to how long you can draw benefits if you're fit to work. As for the UK economy expanding after joining the EU it most certainly did not. link Joining the EU in a free trade agreement exposed our industry to severe competition and wiped most of it out. We once had the biggest car industry in the world - we now own no car manufacturers. |
