Originally posted by _V_ View PostWhat we are seeing in a way is a non unionised general strike. Workers are not turning up to work because pay and conditions have reached a point where inflation and general living costs mean they are better off either retiring early, living on benefits or returning to their birth countries.
Until companies make many jobs attractive again, we will see shortages everywhere.
If the Tories open the immigration flood gates I would not be surprised, this they prefer as it protects the ultra wealthy by increasing profits at the top at the expense of the bottom.
The Tories love immigration.See You Next TuesdayComment

These latest figures show half a million visas being issued for work, study and family (despite Covid travel restrictions). There is no sign that the government’s “Australian Style” system has achieved any reduction whatever.
Since the beginning of the year there is a different form of immigration but there's no reduction.I'm alright JackComment
