Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

There is also the reality of deindustrialisation - the decline of the secondary sectory and growth of the tertiary and dawn of the quaternary sector means that many of the skilled well paid jobs that were available in the 50s, 60s and 70s have gone.

 

The structure of employment has also shifted from the predominately full-time 9-5 or shift patterns to more flexible working patterns. Part of that is down to government policy but also changing family structures where having a traditional full-time job isn't always practical not to mention the reality of more working women.

 

In terms of the jobs that foreign workers to tend to do - in leisure, retail and agriculture - the issue of recruitment is not just a problem at the low pay end but across the board - that has to be about how these types of jobs are perceived.

It is a disastrous policy that means we can never have full employment.

Explain please what full employment is and how FoM prevents it. What jobs are not filled that would be without FoM ?

I'd prefer an extension to any deal Corbyn is behind.  If no extension can be agreed then wto rules. Let's give no deal a go, make it work. If it doesn't then it will cause pain on both sides of the channel and a deal will happen at some point. Too many agendas are at work that have little to do with Brexit.

But surely the point about leaving without a deal is that almost immediately you’ll want a deal and all the things the EU are asking about currently will come back into play before a trade deal can be agreed. (Irish border and outstanding payment due etc.)
We’d effectively be in the same position but out of the EU while we try to agree it. (Or am I missing something here)?

Yes.  FoM WAS a major issue in the poll - to our chagrin.  You have really dropped a bollock when you said:

No.  We have low unemployment rates and, pretty much anyone who wants a job can get a job.  This may change if we have a no-deal Brexit.

The only people who give a shit about FoM are those who don't like 'the wrong type of person' living in their community and they are, almost exclusively, small-minded  c***s.
