Furthermore, the value of £ directly affects the wealth of every household in the UK and, as such, Brexit has already made you poorer. ^ The man who doesnt understand basic charts is back with his weekly nonsense about currencies. |

the nutcase is now trying to entice labour MP's :
Theresa May is putting together a package of measures aimed at wooing Labour MPs in leave-supporting constituencies, offering greater protection for workers’ rights after Brexit and, it emerged on Wednesday night, cash for former coalfield communities. The prime minister has asked two cabinet ministers to consult opposition backbenchers over legislation to protect workers’ rights after Brexit, although there is a fierce debate in Labour about how far to engage with the Conservatives. Downing Street also confirmed that extra cash for deprived post-industrial areas was also under consideration, to allow “Labour MPs representing Brexit communities to say they have extracted something tangible”, according to a government source quoted in the Times. As part of the charm offensive, Steve Barclay, the Brexit secretary, and Greg Clark, the business secretary, met Labour MP Melanie Onn on Wednesday to discuss further safeguards on workers’ rights. The two ministers have also been tasked with drawing up proposals for enhanced environmental protections after Brexit showing how broadly May is willing to act in her efforts to persuade leave-supporting Labour MPs into voting for a revised Brexit deal. |

She may as well stand on a street corner selling fivers for £4.50 - in itself a pretty good demo of the economic sense of Brexit.

That was the one you struggled with claiming that a decline in EU immigration would lead to a growth in non-EU immigration citing 1 years data as your evidence. You saw a correlation where it simply does not exist. There is no trend to back up your claims yet you continued to make them. |

By:
Our negotiations on such a sensitive issue should be discussed from a non political viewpoint in order to decide what is best for the country,not party advantages. I am beginning to have grudging respect for May persevering and showing how obstructive the EU has been could be her trump card eventually.

You have to love Insider Trader's "lets start counting from here" (in this case 1991) game.
The evidence since the 2016 ref suggests that a correlation does exist between returning EU workers and a swelling mass of non-EU immigration, and logic backs the claim: returning EU workers don't take their job with them, it leaves an opportunity for a non-EU worker to fill the vacancy. We await next months quarterly immigration figures with great interest, do you think you will need help working out the % again IT? |

How do you interpret this basic chart, Insider Trader? Do you see any correlation between the Brexit vote and the movement on the graph? |
|
By:
You are correct: The EU do not want us to 'Leave'...they love our easy money too much. Juncker, Tusk and Barnier ought to have retired from politics some time ago, but for the gravy-train EU.
How can politicians of much smaller GDP economies be governing The EU, and in charge of 28 member states? Shocking! I cannot think of any other entity/organisation in the world this is happening to, but the undemocratic EU. |

The two are non-correlated. Unskilled workers from outside the EU cannot just walk into the UK and take a low paid job and milk the state in the same way an EU citizen can. Are you seriously suggesting the same rules currently apply to EU and Non-EU citizens? |
|
By:
But your own chart since suggests that there is a correlation since the referendum. It would be surprising if there were not.
What has that got to do with the value of £ and its correlation with Brexit? Are you saying that doesn't exist either? [ This image is no longer available. ] |

Nice distraction trying to use a photoshopped chart with no axis to try to hide your ignorance over immigration policy.
I have explained the pound versus the dollar earlier in the thread. The decline started in 1937. Go back and have a look. As for your correlation based on a short term span of a few months it is meaningless. Lets at the reasoning behind what you think is happening... Why is it you think that a decline in low paid immigrants coming from the EU will lead to an increase in low paid immigrants from elsewhere? Do you even know how hard to is to come in from outside the EU? Lets test your knowledge. Do you think it is just as easy for a British citizen to bring a bride to live with them permanently back from Colombia as it is from the Czech Republic currently? |

Not convincingly. Whereas, each day the correlation between the value of £ and the fortunes of Brexit demonstrates itself anew. So, it won't help to play your "lets start counting from 1937" game. |

Not that the subject of this thread is immigration - let alone low-paid immigration - the answer would be that the returning EU worker does not take his job with him, therefore his leaving presents a vacancy. Which presents an opportunity for others, including non-EU migrants. Therefore it would be expected that a number of jobs formerly filled by EU workers would go to non-EU workers. A trend that the new-immigration policy is designed to promote, when it finally sees the light of day. The surprise would be if it did not happen.Indeed, it is happening already, and we await the next quarter's immigration figures relative % with much interest. |

population growth nearly 10 million in 20 years not counting the million or so illegals - puts no pressure on anything at any time at all
I note a huge growth in overcrowding - just published- they are yacking on about it in the guradian so it must be important |

I don't wear a cardy either. The housing situation is terrible in my area there are up to 60,000 illegals living in converted garages and sheds in one area alone - council figures - they even did a programme on it. |

Those illegals would not be EU citizens, would they, Mo?

Exploiting non-and EU nationals providing accommodation in converted garages ought to be outlawed and considered a criminal offence with imprisonment a deterrent; they are predominantly the get-rich-quick scheme of an ethnic minority.
