Do you think all these migrants would be here if they were to receive unemployment benefits equivalent to those in the UK at home?

We're boomed compared to Spain where unemployment amongst young people is running at 45%, an utterly hopeless situation.

Pah, what happened to the good old days of Alistar Campbell being Spin Doctor to Herr Blair, he would be singing from the roof tops how over 80% of 16-24 years old were in Education, Employment or Training!

18.4% of 16-24 year olds aren't in work, education or training. That is quite astonishing and a bit scary.
There is only one answer. We need more wars so they can join the army and be slaughtered.
Back in the 60s schools leavers would either go for a low paid position or an apprenticeship. There were no benefits paid to teenagers. An apprenticeship would involve a lump sum payment to the employer to train the apprentice. The equivalent wage for 16-21 year olds today would be £2 to £3 per hour, far less than today’s minimum wage.
At Paddy’s former coffee shop, I never employed teenagers because it was cheaper to employ adults who actually knew what they were doing and didn’t need constant supervision.

I wonder why they chose 24 as the upper limit. Wouldn't 21 or 22, being normal university leavinag age, be fairer?

There is only one answer. We need more wars so they can join the army and learn how to slaughter someone else's kids.
