I can tell you that anything he comes up with will be unworkable. On top of that, he wants to blame brits for not taking jobs because the salary is so poor and practically unliveable and then to blame employers for filling jobs with non-brits.

tens of thousands instead of hundreds of thousands, well its a start.

 

my own policy would be to end all immigration from anywhere.

 

for ten years.

 

 

And how would you do that? Can you afford the money and staffing numbers to do that? How would you deal with the international courts?

Yes the salaries are so poor that they are practically unliveable, but these jobs were filled by immigrants who were prepared to accept those wages in live in horrible conditions. Do you not think then logically that if these huge numbers of migrants hadn't come in and taken the jobs businesses would have been forced to put up wages to attract employees.

 

Because as things stand wages for those earning under £50,000 a year, taking into account inflation, have not risen since 2004.

No they wouldn't up the wages because profit and greed is king. It would also cause inflation to increase. As for the migrants, living is such conditions is generally a short-term thing - they arrive in the UK, do crap jobs then leave for home. Numerous reports over the last few years have mentioned poles going home because they are not much better off in the Uk than at home. And, Europeans are not to be capped, despite the fact they may be the most numerous.
