If the visa was points based how likely is it you would be refused? I suspect very unlikely and it would probably in these modern days of computers be very fast to obtain.
Local labour is not being undercut. Business just don't want to pay more. Blame the employers!! And customers in the supermarkets will be the first to complain at the increased cost of fresh produce plucked from their fields a year or two down the line when that local labour finally gets off their backside to do the work."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

Originally posted by milanbenes View Postthey won't be undercutting local labour for long, the economic miracle will be Britain's post Brexit currency devaluation when UK workers become cheaper than the accession country's workers

As far as currency devaluation is concerned we need this to improve our balance of paymentsLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostIt is not a question of whether I'll be refused. That's a non-issue. Time and time again visa applications fall through (from those coming outside of the EU) because another resource has been found in the interim. The point is clients do not wait! Brexiters just don't get it. I can move from job to job in hours rather than weeks or months.

The books would be a good read for anyone in the UK right now. A country operating a growing deficit. Engaging in endless QE. Help to buy programs. Unaffordable housing w.r.t earnings.

Originally posted by stek View PostJust had a thought/brain fart, after Brexit does the Dublin Agreement apply to UK, because if not asylum seekers and refugees can just roll up to UK and the UK will have to accept them.
I suppose we will drop back to the Schengnen or previous agreements.
Before the Dublin Convention came into force, most EU member states used another piece of
European law, called the Schengen Agreement, to decide whether or not they would accept and
examine someone’s asylum application. In many cases, countries had readmission agreements with
each other, which meant asylum seekers could be sent back to another European state if they had
passed through it on their way to the country in which they had claimed asylum.
In the UK, this meant that any asylum seeker who passed through a ‘safe’ third country before
reaching the UK was likely to be returned there and was expected to apply for asylum in that country
(except where the asylum seeker had close family members already in the UK). In these
circumstances, the UK government would refuse to even look at the substance of someone’s asylum
claim, as it argued it had no obligation to under the terms of the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees.
Maybe the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees is a good source? But it looks like fewer rights not more.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by GB9 View PostSocttish Independence a greater threat to Scotland's financial services than Brexit.
Have we done this one? Can't see it anywhere.
Basically, Scots leave the UK and English customers leave the Scottish banks. And in the meantime, Sturgeon is shafting her own economy by threatening another referendum.
Scooter would be worried, if he hadn't already abandoned his homeland and shifted to become an EU worker.
I have clients in Scotland. I also employ folks in Scotland from time to time. Becoming cheaper by the minute"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

faster than you can say Brexit the foreigners will be gone once the pound devalues.
