Mass changes to UK immigration requirements

[phantominvestor]

It's not racist to say UK is overpopulated.

What's racist is the anti white racism that the media is promulgating in.

Exodus of foreign workers ‘a threat to UK recovery’

Construction, care and hospitality industries all at risk from major shortage of employees, say business leaders

Britain’s economic recovery from the pandemic risks being seriously damaged by thousands of “missing” overseas workers who have left the country and will not return, senior figures from across industry are warning Boris Johnson.

Executives from hospitality, social care, construction and manufacturing all raised concerns that a lack of overseas workers after the pandemic will put a “handbrake on the recovery”. Some warned that the success of some of the government’s own flagship targets, such as an aim to build 300,000 homes a year, was being put at risk.

Oh noes! The workers to build the houses on the land banks that the developers who bribe the ministers to use taxpayers’ funds to prop up the sales are leaving!! 
But maybe the workers leaving will drop the rents which lowers the competition which lowers the desirability which lowers the cost which allows the citizens to afford the houses?

No, we simply can’t allow it.

Cant have it both ways.

When millions poured in tye UK pop was assured migration did not affect wages.

 

[spyguy]

I'd also add that the leisure and hospitality sector require massive in work subs for people with kids.

It needs to go back to being UK students.

Large amount of research is funded by the military, the interesting point is China is acquiring incredible amounts of data by only spending money, the infrastructure costs are paid by the UK taxpayer, Stupidity beyond the bounds of belief

I think we will move from over population to under population, but the details are we are going to lose hard working EE and keep the benefits ones.

I think it depends on the value of the pound, If it stays strong, the EE will stay. The current exodus is simply wanting to sit covid out somewhere else.

I say this as someone whom works in hospitality (employer) conditions and wages should improve... though some businesses will not be able to handle the transition.

= inflationary especially if the government is pumping on a string to increase demand.

This is Brexit in motion the working folk removing the competition, what may be good for gdp may not necessarily be good for the working man at the bottom.

Unlimited supply of money from the boe, and unlimited supply of goods from China....and unlimited supply of labour from the Eu.  The pillars of low inflation and housing sponging up the excess.

If any of those pillars fall its game over for low irs.

Just wait and see you can price out folk from adequate housing no problem.  But as soon as they start getting market push pay rises... up they wil, go.

I have noticed prices creeping up, I have feeling the good days are over

Oh no! Senior management might actually have to do their jobs for a change and increase productivity, rather than simply relying on cheap foreign labour and exporting their problems onto British taxpayers. 

I get angry every time I see a "barrista" coffee machine at just how incredibly inefficient they are (indeed they are designed to be, to make them look difficult to use and hence justify high prices!) - modernise them and you'd avoid the need for 10s of thousands of EU workers in London alone, at no sacrifice in coffee quality or service.

If they just press a button and out comes the coffee people will expect much cheaper coffee. The inefficient machine is part of creating an environment that justifies £3 a cup for coffee to enough people to base a business around.

The ambitious of government are a collection of paradoxes.

High street rents and businesses rates contribute more to pricing than wages.

Growth means both growth in real productivity (not asset speculation) and growth in population....... declining areas are places where the population moves away, moves to better places where they can grow, develop, learn and improve on what they had before,places that have been invested in, people will invest in.......new and improved opportunities.

"Federation of Builders, said there was a “real danger that we’re going to have a major skill shortage”. He said: “We need 300,000 homes [a year],"

Curious guardian logic-surely 1.3M people leaving will help this problem ?? If 1.3m people have really left that has freed up 700k houses at the drop of a hat!

They are not connecting the dots, people do not understand if the situation on the ground changes so to should the underlying assumptions

I think the number to have left is over 1.5M

So we should have a banking crisis in say 12 months

Yes, but then both were on the cards and Covid has catalyzed it.

There are thousands of Costa and Starbucks coffee machines in places like WHS, making coffee without human being present, no price difference though. A double espresso is still 2.80 or thereabouts, just like in staffed outlets, the only difference being you ca enjoy your drink without having a brief conversation with a "highly trained and professional barista" who invariably pronounces espresso "expresso".

In the early 1990s we had very little net immigration and housing was cheap but now we need mass immigration to build new houses?  Very weird

I visit a friend in Stoke newington, a one bedroom flat on his road went on the market for £500k we both said it would not sell, it sold within a few weeks (not sure of the price) it has now had a to let sign on for 4 months the new owners want £2k per month they can find no tenants this must be a newbie, timing is everything
