I had to google it to get some info on the address,.abd the first sentence was this…

The words that stuck out were ‘‘Pro Brexit’’ . :unamused:
I’ll leave you to decide what my conclusions were …seeing as it was you who posted it
:unamused:

Immigration was the highest its ever been in Jun 2022. 1.1 million residence visas given out.

And you thought it would drop after brexit didnt you.

nope no one through immigration would drop. what your alluding to is migration from the easter european block which im sure you agree has

dozy:
It should be sorted in a year / two when labour get in ( I’ll be voting for them ) as one of there mp,s has just said on box , there is no need to send anyone to Rwanda or any where , we have vacancies in this country that they could fill , any one who wants to come should be welcomed
I would hope though there would be some kind of checks , housing would be sorted out before they implement this policy , I assume it will be in next few years

You want to vote for someone who is going to allow anyone into the country that wants to come? Yeah because all those that come over here in a dingy are going to drive trucks aren’t they ?!

No chance, they’re all Doctors, Surgeons and Solicitors we were told.a few months back,.and not spongers or potential terrorists whatsoever.
They are obviously used to high class ways and living anyway, the ones round my way all kicked off saying the foc hotel that was provided for them,.and free food and drink was not good enough… I kid you not.

I`m perfectly happy to discuss things with people with views that are opposite to mine.

That’s good to know. Fancy discussing Brexit some time ?

Maybe we should start a thread on it :smiley:

Oh and there doesn’t seem to be any shortage from what I’m seeing. Very few companies offering those bonuses from a few years back and I’m seeing plenty of jobs in the £13 range. I’m lucky enough to still be on a contact paying the inflated wages from 2020/21 but how long it’ll last is anyone’s guess. Just enjoying it while I can.

Of course they did. Thats the only reason anyone voted for brexit.

Its not the ones in the dingys that are the issue - its the 1.1 million residency visas being dished out every year. Dont let them con you.

I dunno about all these “facilities” - I do shift work. 45 mins ain’t enough time for me to get enthralled in the offerings of service stations.
But I have noticed that pay has increased quite a bit on agency. Used to be tough to find a job that paid £15 p/h+, now most jobs I get are £17p/h+ or like £20p/h+ on weekends.
Plenty of jobs going all over, be willing to travel and figuring out new routes each shift - hard work, but well worth it.

A few weeks the daily EXPRESS had an article about a Russian fighter aircraft firing a missile at a British rivet joint spy plane,they had picture of it big problem the (Russian) aircraft in the picture had Ukraine markings on it ? driver shortage …hang on I will just grab that pig flying over my house !
