samssong Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Presumably you've studied the numbers closely and can tell us roughly how they compare... Retep has done it for you the numbers are frightening , the pressure on housing, health, and benefits are mind boggling. In addition to this we have Arab, Chinese, Americans and Russian billionaires buying up the best land and real estate all at the expense of the indigenous folk who have fought World war and sweated their guts out for a pittance while these invaders now move in and stash their monies (often stolen from their own poor) into our banks and financial institutions . This has now spread into our other great cities where Councils are selling off our most prestigious land to foreign investors , Mean while the poor in our Cities suffer while watching the hard work that brought about a health service and a social housing system vanish under a pile of imported greed.

samssong Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Don't you thin k the world has changed a bit since then? The World has got smaller, in todays papers a report tells us that millions of tons of food and other goods are being flown into our own Sheffield Doncaster air port from Countries in Africa , this trade with the greater World will only get better and with mutual advantage to emerging Country's when we finally get out of this corrupt club that is a so called Union led by France and Germany.

L00b Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A time when our trade with the Common wealth worked a treat before we stabbed them in the back.The current-day Commonwealth isn't particularly bothered about the UK by the way: example 1, example 2, <... plenty more where these came from>.

All of it done by your own governments and councils,you got what you voted for,privatisation,deregulation,the lot,you can try and blame it on the EU and foreigners as much as you want,Brexit won't make any difference whatsoever to most of the above,all the greed started with UK decisions implemented by successive governments and overseen by the Great British Public,now take responsibility for your own mess. Back to a time long ago,courtesy of the UK's own decisions: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jun/21/slow-wage-growth-down-to-return-to-the-past-bank-of-england-chief-economist The lack of wage growth in Britain’s economy is the result of turning the clock back to the days before the Industrial Revolution when there were no trade unions and self-employment was rife, the chief economist of the Bank of England has suggested. Andy Haldane said the current relationship between pay and employment had more in common with the period between 1500 and 1750 than in the subsequent period, because in the post-1750 era, collective bargaining and the expansion of full-time paid employment meant workers were able to secure generous pay awards when labour was scarce. “The move towards greater self-employment and less unionisation is, in some respects, a shift back to the future in the nature of work,” Haldane said, harking back to the days before James Watt, a key figure in the emergence of the steam engine, and other pioneers began the transformation of Britain’s largely agrarian economy. “Prior to the Industrial Revolution, and indeed for some years after it, most workers were self-employed or worked in small businesses. There were no unions. Hours were flexible, depending on what work was needed to collect the crops, milk the cows or put bread on the table. Work was artisanal, task-based, divisible Edited June 22, 2017 by chalga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlinate Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The World has got smaller, in todays papers a report tells us that millions of tons of food and other goods are being flown into our own Sheffield Doncaster air port from Countries in Africa , this trade with the greater World will only get better and with mutual advantage to emerging Country's when we finally get out of this corrupt club that is a so called Union led by France and Germany. Why will it get better? What was stopping us from trading more successfully than we have done whilst EU members? Germany,France,Italy and the Netherlands are all more successful exporters than us and they are EU members. What is going to change in our ability to improve exports after we leave the Trade Bloc which has helped us become more prosperous over the past 40 odd years? As you said we stabbed our previous trading partners in the back when we abandoned them for the EU. Think they'll have forgotten how Perfidious Albion behaved when it suited us? They have moved on over the 40 years and formed new alliances, they'll trade with us on their terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
