    It's quite plain. If you are using labour from abroad, and not local, there are will be double the housing, health and infrastructure requirements for that one job to be done.
    We have three issues that I can see at the moment.

    1) We are conning thousands of kids into Uni and the life time debts that come with that, only to then offshore the work they could do...

    2) We are selling our assets like crazed drug whores. So now great swaths of our infrastructure and housing stock is tied up in tokenised assets because property is a better return than bank interest or shares. This has priced a generation out of ever owning a house. (unless you are in social housing)

    3) Labour wanted to conduct a social experiment and so flooded the country with whoever wanted to come. That increased the labour market and has killed wages for most people.

    We need to reintroduce scarcity and quality of labour so that it pays to be in a job.

      Far right is returning net immigration to 1980's levels (already historically high) , preventing international companies from avoiding workers rights and paying taxes, getting out of a failed club that has caused misery to millions of economic migrants and waves them through to Calais.

      Not sure how that equates to thinking we are the master race or invading Poland. Its all bulltulip put forward to argue the New Lie experiment of flooding the UK with cheap labour has not failed and by a woman who turned the Independence vote into a racist decision.

        Have you tried to call a polish plumber (car mechanic, carpenter, plasterer etc) and ask for a quote?
        2-3 times cheaper than indigenous tradesman.

        The price aside;Have you used a local tradesman? Do you know the tulip quality of the work they do and the time it takes them to do it?

        Try all above. Then start preaching about locals doing stuff. Huge % of the locals are brain dead (this forum population excluded, mostly).

          Either way the situation that we have is that companies, private or otherwise; are being allowed to amass millions of pounds in revenues without properly supporting the countries and people around them. When you look at the industrial revolution, there was massive amounts of new wealth created but those people believed in legacy and grand gestures that built things we still use today.

          Look at what Cadbury did for the workers in Birmingham and how that legacy it treated now...

          Its time to change the attitude of the elite to understand that hoarding millions in a bank helps no-one.

            Thanks to the Tories, now we are paying ~£405million a week to the EU instead of £350million..

              I would like to remind you that 2 years ago Sturgeon was threating to kick out EU nationals...

              “There are 160,000 EU nationals from other states living in Scotland, including some in the Commonwealth Games city of Glasgow. “If Scotland was outside *Europe, they would lose the right to stay here.”
              Sturgeon warns Europeans could lose right to stay - The Scotsman

              She is a hypocritical roaster.

                Isn't that largely limited to London?

                  well everyone went to University as trades were derided. Now if we need tradesmen maybe we can train them instead of using cheap foreign labour?

                    I would not go that far. But would you agree with:

                      No saudis are buying all the studio flats in Slough & Walsall as well. Their Hareem sleep in the wardrobe.

                      There is some foreign investment but if we built lots of houses then price increases would stop and they would stop being a great investment so foreigners would stop buying them.
