So you believe that the UK should have open borders?

Do I?

[NotAllThere]

Well, I was being courteous. Clearly lost on you.

On the other hand, your English is abysmal.

No, my English is very good. My typing on the other hand...

Anyway so there are plenty of middle class uni students who are having to live at home with mum and dad into their 20s, 30s and even going back there in their 40s when their relationships break up.

And this phenomenon comes about because big business can force wages down by ensuring a ready supply of desperate candidates from eastern europe and the indian sub-continent mainly. No wonder they don't want to Leave the EU. Greedy fookers.

I am asking you

But the alternative would be to have someone like you doing an important job. What is needed is a 10 year focus on driving up skills for the younger generation while your ilk declines into old age and alcoholism, so that we are then ready to compete internationally with our domestic workforce.

The middle classes are competing with those from Europe as you put it.

Being middle class in the UK isn't based solely on income like in the US. So you get plumbers and footballers earning far more than teachers and civil servants, but the former aren't considered middle class.

So you think that M&S, BP, Aviva, Goldman Sachs, IBM, ING, GE are receiving applications from Polish etc graduates that compete with our own graduates do you?

Well if I weren't already doing an important job then there would be no need for my replacements to "drive up" their skills to usurp me, would there?
Haven't really thought your point through have you? What does the Grauniad have to say about it? Do tell!

The "ready supply of desperate candidates from eastern europe and the indian sub-continent" are doing these important jobs. It is critical that we increase the domestic skill-base so you don't have to fill any of them. But I wouldn't expect you to grasp that.

You seem to think the Uk should have an open border with Ireland and you seem pretty intent on sneering at the concept of border control. So I am just checking whether you are nothing more than a protesting wailer or whether you have a serious argument.
