One has to smile at the irony of a Brexiter immigrant to a European state that - while not a member of the EU because of its autocratic hereditary system, is a member of Schengen, the Euro and customs union and follows many EU regulations - criticising the immigration into a country which is no longer his primary resident. I have to say the second and first generation immigrants I worked with during my 40+ years in IT - from Asia, Europe, Caribbean, Americas, Australia, etc made contributions to the UK's economy and different cultural backgrounds wasn't an issue. Yes, there are tensions, but, as it's been singled out, there's obviously a demand for delivery drivers - perhaps regulate the companies so they pay a proper wage? And with a falling population aren't they needed for this andother jobs? Wasn't that great champion of Brexit, Tim Martin, at one time complaining about the difficulty of recruiting bar staff? And the government had to make policy adjustments so as not to lose prison staff from Nigeria? |
