A small but interesting survey conducted by the BBC suggests British workers are not ideal to step into the jobs vacated by the foreign workers that will be leaving as a result of Brexit.

I worked with both British Steel and the miners when Maggie closed the pits setting up spin out companies and retraining where necessary, so those that were lucky enough to get a job are in different industries these days. Most are probably retired by now.boltonbonce wrote:Are they all out of work?

Anyone made redundant during Wilson's time is pretty unlikely to be looking for a job today so I don't get your point AD. Who are these unemployed miners you refer to?

A very important point Glos.gloswhite wrote:One problem we are overlooking is the fact that if anyone wishes to retain some personal pride and dignity, and go to work with any job they can get, there's a likelihood that their benefits are affected, so stopping them making the move. I don't know how the Universal Benefits affect this, but we used to know it as the poverty trap I believe. So, its not always that the British worker is lazy, although we all know we have generations of benefit claimants, (for whatever reason), but often they are in a situation they cannot resolve themselves. have to agree though, that for many its a mind-set problem in accepting what they see as jobs with little prestige.
The thing is that he has a track record for being dishonest/telling downright lies throughout the leave campaign and the last election, is renowned for his spectacular U turns and voracious political climbing, is a known lackey of the foreign billionaires who finance the leave campaign and the Tory party and is widely distrusted, even by members of his own party. Only 20% of people think he is trustworthy, only 20% think he is honest and only 17% think he is in touch with reality.sunlight wrote:Bojo recently spoke about how he wants to help the working class and to eradicate child poverty. Someone needs to text him then, and tell him that at the elections that he needs to vote Labour, then.
