We'll have to agree to disagree because you are moving the goal posts, you're saying the CEE peoples won't go home and now you say you meant southern Europe ?
There are no southern Europeans in the UK on building sites, simple as that.
Share with us why the EU is more likely to collapse than the UK ?
The UK will remain in Europe and Europe will survive by evolving.
That's my wager.
What's your wager ?

Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostI meant both Eastern and Southern EU . You can take either in isolation as both situations support my argument. The only way the EU will evolve is as a superstate gathering more power for itself. There is no sign that the economies will grow and youth unemployment will remain very high for eternity. The reason the UK will thrive is that it is a better environment for small business than EU countries. The EU on the other hand is only interested in playing to the established order of the large corporates.

so you selling points are you are a quick to obtain resource (quicker than local resources because Germany discourages contracting because of excellent and expensive employment rights) You have already stated you avoid tax so you are likely to be cheaper.
That is undercutting local labour whatever way you look at it. Not sure why you struggle with that concept. As the wages are at a high level then I will concede your competition should be sufficiently competent to combat it.
Red provision of cheap migrant workers is driving down wages at the bottom end
How do you align Local labour isn't being undercut with Business just don't want to pay? Even MoodyMod would cope with that.
Then you finish with well they are all illegal and its all the customers fault anyway.
jeez.
Businesses at the bottom end of the market are about short-term profits. That's a different game altogether from the top end."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I remember the Hungarian refugees coming to the UK. The mere fact they were Hungarian was enough reason even though they had travelled across Europe to get here.
BTW: Local shop owner and family were among them. He has just retired and told me his story how he got to the UK."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Back then the numbers were very small we could lose a thousand in London easily.
The number of asylum seekers before 1979 is difficult to determine as no separate statistics were collated before this point. A Parliamentary answer indicated that in 1973, 34 people had been granted refugee status.[34] The application of the 1951 Convention dealing with the treatment of refugees was still being applied, to a large extent, to those people fleeing persecution from behind the Iron Curtain.
UK asylum applications 1979-2009. Numbers of new applications for asylum, (not including dependents) peaked in 2002 at 84,130 - source; Home Office, Control of Immigration and Asylum statistics, HMSO
The total number of asylum applications in 1979 was 1563[35] and by 1988 had risen, fairly steadily but not too dramatically, to 3998.[36] In 1989 the numbers of applications rose sharply, to 11640, and by 1991 had reached 44840. The reasons for the dramatic rise are complex and have to be seen in the context of international travel patterns to other European nations.[37]
