      As a former Brit and now a Swede, I too thank the UK for showing the entire world that cooperation is a LOT better than isolation. A Dutch pal has been saying for years that Brexit rendered the movement to get the Netherlands out of the EU dead on its arse, and I think much the same can be said for Swexit.

      I remember that day very well - I had Jury Duty, was sitting in the waiting room at Glasgow court and was reading when on the TV the results came in.
      A huge cheer come up from all the people around me when they said that people voted for Brexit.
      My thought was, you idiots voted to stay with England against the independence so you have access to the EU, and now you cheering for the Brexit - how stupid are this folk....
      Not sure when I found out that Scotland voted to stay in pretty much - me as European I was only allowed to vote in the Independence but not in the Brexit - it kinda makes sense, but the same time I was thinking - I am living here since 10 years, never was jobless, paying my taxes and you basically, the Government telling me that I'm not welcome.
      I have a relative high paid job, working for a large Scottish company, the only reason I'm still here.
      However, I had job offers from other companies in the last 12 months back in Europe and most likely next summer I will move back - as have to finish up some stuff here and also we are getting Bonus payments.

      It's basically a case of sunk cost fallacy applied to political/policy views. These people have too much of their reputation and ego invested in the view that brexit was the best thing since sliced bread that admitting that they were wrong is too painful to accept. They'd also need to accept their infallibility to be an illusion. There is also a level of shame to it, which is also the main reason that victims of scams are unlikely to report being conned.

Back to low wages, no rights for workers, unchallenged racism and a small time economy in a global market. Wages may go up by they will NEVER keep pace with inflation in this Mickey Mouse marketplace economy. 6 million public sector workers have had pay cuts so how are they going to help fire the economy.

      Although I agree that David Davies is in denial with regard to the effects of Brexit, he has a point. The problem has been caused by Brexit. Brexit, however, has been on the horizon for years and as such should have been better mitigated.
      Capitalists, especially the rich ones, never get tired of espousing how capitalism has it's own internal self-regulating properties. Why has capitalism failed to fill the void in this case? Big business has for years had the best of both worlds and we should no longer allow them to renege on their own responsibilities.
      Why should hard working British tax payers foot the employee training bill for tax avoiding billion pound profitable companies such as BP or Tesco? This is a failure of both government and big businesses. It is, however and as normal, ordinary members of the public that will always end up paying the price.

      When wages rise, prices rise , it's called inflation. When inflation starts getting out of control the gov have to increase interest rates, that then puts up mortgage rates, which puts pressure on price rises again. So it goes on, which is exactly what happened in the 60's and 70's before we joined the EU.

      1) thats why its called a "critical" shortage.. yes, some professions do always have shortages, but it is manageable - as soon as there are way to few, its no longer manageable. can you understand the difference?
      2) the unemployment rate in the uk is at 4.6%. raising wages wont create more people. subtract from these 4.6% 2%, which is the number of workers who are usually really "between jobs" aka just unemployed for a couple of weeks / months - ppl getting constantly hired and fired, therefore you will always have a small % of ppl unemployed. then subtract from this number the chronically / mentally ill, disabled, drug addicts etc. and you will find that almost noone is left.
      below 5% unemployment is usually considered as "full employment": "Full employment is an economic situation in which all available labor resources are being used in the most efficient way possible. ... In practical terms, economists can define various levels of full employment that are associated with low but non-zero rates of unemployment."
      so why would raising the wage create suddenly more workers? .. oh, and not just workers.. workers QUALIFIED for a specific job.
      see, partel and her nazi squad scared away eu doctors ... and suddenly there was a critical shortage of doctors. so what did they do? they are now recruiting in third world countries, e.g. nigeria. "The statistics also showed that between July 24, 2020 and September 21, 2021, about 862 Nigeria trained doctors were licensed in the UK despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, 8,737 doctors who obtained their degrees in Nigeria currently practise in the UK"
      raising the wages wouldnt help, because there are simply not enough trained doctors in the uk.

    Absolute lack of understanding not only regarding labour shortages wages or the reality of losing the freedom of movement! Simple economics to pay more you need to produce more if you have a product which is in demand you could in theory increase prices! When you live in a Country which produces very little that other Countries want but you Import vast amounts where do you increase your margin to pay more and if you do who pays in the end the consumer as per the guy who got the pay rise! Sadly you have very little exportable product !!

    Just wondering how the vegans feel about the small kitters who have to die to protect the 'plant based' crops they are in favour of.

      I always thought the sale of milk was highly regulated and controlled.
