I’ve never seen a non EU worker doing a job that I would want to do myself, doctors don’t count as I’m too old for med school.

EU workers are outside of UK control, although we have four times as many in the country than we export of our own labour to the EU... that also seems a tad unfair, but there is nothing we can do about it.
It makes no sense to come from EU to England. The pound is so rubbish that everywhere else in Europe you get higher salaries. Even Italy, Spain and Portugal are now more appealing than Britain because in comparison you almost earn more if you view it from the point of view of a foreign currency. You should rather worry about people staying in your country,both foreigners and no-foreigners, before the exodus will bring your country economy to a total collapse.

Yeah, that foreign doctor what saved my kids life, he can feck off.
And the taxi can drive itself.
And we can get a Frenchy to cook my curry/kebab/chow mein.
And serve me and clean the floor in Waitrose.
Do we have any non-EU idiots we can replace you with?

This thread is about non-EU workers.... approx 2.6 million of them working in the UK at this moment.
If I can get a job in Germany, all well and good, but that is not an option for most British workers. We have 65,000 workers in Germany incidentally, and only 11,000 in Italy.
