He’s right IMO

Especially regarding our children and them believing that we’re a bunch of fucktards to vote for / allow, this heinous move of Brexit for political point scoring with no real plan / strategy of moving forwards

That's an opinion. He's entitled to it- as I said. Given his role though, that's incompatible.

The government didn't vote for brexit; they just have to sort it; they've hardly been right wing nor left wing; having to try to find a middle ground to please everyone including Europe.

 

If Adonis is so against brexit then fine, no problem. Just have the decency to clear off and let them get on with it.

By 'race card', if you mean folk being concerned about hordes of mainly eastern European economic migrants massing in coastal towns and putting undue pressure on vital services then you are right.

 

'Race card' is a misnomer.

Putting pressure on vital services?

 

From what I see they graft their fuckin nuts off and keep themselves to themselves.

 

Meanwhile other parts of town are crumbling due to masses of home grown spice heads, alcoholics and kids running about the street covered in beans with no shoes on.

Not forgetting that we are heavily reliant on them and other non-EU immigrants to help staff the NHS.

Not many are leaving, though

 

And, they probably won't

Thats not my experience

 

Or the recruitment agencies I use

 

Plenty hard working Europeans packing up

"covered in beans with no shoes on."

 

Utterly brilliant, thanks Gonch for brightening up what has been a pretty crap Christmas/New Year caused by the lurgy.

I've not got the time, nor the inclination :) to read the full report

 

What is apparent from the headline figures is that the % of the joiners who are from the eu decreased and the percentage of leavers increased

 

And the figures are 6/9 months out of date

 

 

This debate is wider than just the nhs as you know and my experience is that the pool of labour is diminishing

Sure, but I was responding to the point about the NHS.

 

The figures are as up to date as there is and, since then, we have an agreement on the rights of EU nationals, so I expect many will stay.

 

I also wonder as to how critical they are, with 5% or so of the NHS workforce in the North West. London is more alarming, for those who could ever be alarmed about anything London.

 

For me, the interesting stats are;

 

  1. Nationals of other EU countries make up almost 10% of doctors in England's hospital and community health services. They also make up just over 7% of all nurses and 5% of scientific, therapeutic and technical staff. The percentage of doctors and nurses with EU nationality grew between 2009 and 2016, but has changed little since the EU referendum.

     2. The percentage of EU staff before the referendum was 5.6% and 5.5% after

I remember a real run down street what smelled of beans in the early 60s.

What's the difference between the Eastern European bods coming over here and working in our coastal towns and the British enclaves on the med?

 

Fucking hell - are you serious?

Fucking hell - are you serious?

Well yes.

 

Poles, Lithuanians etc coming for a better life working for much more than they could earn at home.

 

British bods moving to the med for a better life in the sun.

 

If there is a difference between the two I'm clearly missing it.

The plan is get out and take it from there same as the plan originally was get in and take it from there, life’s like that you make a call and go from there I’ll wager everything I have that folk who work hard will do just fine and it would be same if we voted to stay. Let’s fucking get on with it and stop this remain shower of bollocks. We can do so much better than be a lap dog of the Germans and French were better than that.

Most of the Brits are self funded retirees. I won't bother going any further - that should be enough of a difference..

Oh just do fuck off.

 

One day you might learn to at least try to understand someone else's point of view without some holier than thou self elevation.

No. You fuck off.

Both a self funded retiree and a migrant worker have positive impacts on the Economy of the places they choose to move to

 

However a self funded retiree doesn’t work or pay local income taxes yet they use the local public services

 

Anyone coming over here working pays tax and NI and contributes towards public services

Most of the Brits are self funded retirees. I won't bother going any further - that should be enough of a difference..

So they're not contributing to the local tax system through PAYE or NI?

 

No issues with people moving for a better life. I just don't get why some people are good immigrants and some are bad.

 

Having worked with a fair few Poles over the years I can't see why they are seen in a bad light.

He speaks from experience. Too tight to buy footwear for his kids.

It’s not about good or bad it’s about controlling which immigrants we need and how many we need, lower paid workers for menial jobs most likely paying little or no tax while rich UK citizens abroad spend plenty in the economy which gives a very positive benefit and will not be claiming out of work allowance or housing benefits like some unemployed unskilled immigrants do here in the UK.

If you think that it’s ok for a plan that heavily dictates the future of our country for at least a generation to be “see what happens” then I’m glad you aren’t running owt important

 

Fuck’s sake Mounts you’re allowing your bias to have you make the daftest of claims, and I know you’re a lot brighter than that
