Ok for the last time no one has said that someone from the EU will not be able to come and pwork in the UK.

What they will not be able to do is come over here, work for a few months and then stay in the UK indefinetly.

subtle but important difference.

I thought you wanted to solve the problem, not just keep spouting platitudes and ultimately do nothing?

Well the threat of being dumped in Brum or Kent has made some people less dependent on the state...

"In its Brexit White Paper earlier this year the Government admitted the UK Parliament “has remained sovereign throughout our membership of the EU”."

It's not hard.

What's hard is to make is cost effective...

Nope.

People based in London or any other city no where near farms cannot go and do those jobs instead they can do retail, cleaning, care, hotel and security jobs. And in fact many do but they need their poor wages topped up by the in work benefits.

Oh and benefits are frozen until April 2020 so in real terms that is a cut.

I just hope you never get extremely ill for a long time and have to rely on benefits.

Dont worry the way it works is if you need the state they will let you loose your house then piss all your savings away before they will start helping you but by then you will be bankrupt and effectively trapped in their charity. If you are a higher rate tax payer you have effectively NO safety net in this country.

Actually, people with their assets tied up in their principle private residence have much better protection for their assets that other people.

Having said that, we really do move to a proper form of social insurance.
