Grumpy Git Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Before anyone decides whether they agree with Brexit or not (or votes in the yet to be announced general election), they might want to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLH-wXNCtEA All I can say is after nearly 25 years in business, I've just had the worst six months imaginable. An odd "bad month" happens every so often, but six in a row (with no sign of improvement) is bonkers - nobody is investing in capital equipment in the UK. The recession of 2008 was nowhere near as bad as this in my industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the total number of work-related visas issued for year ending March 2019 was 181093, an increase of 11% over the previous 12 months. Now when I went to school, an increase is not the same as a decrease. As far as 'employment being at record levels', I work an average of 5 hours a week, so I'm employed, at least as far as employment statistics are concerned. Please substantiate your assertions with appropriate statistics, as opposed to purely relying on glib Tory sound-bites and other brainwashing tactics..

My sympathies to you - owning your own business is tough. And the rosy glow of being identified as one of the "wealth creators" just made me wonder who all the wealth was being created for - then i realised it was the old chap whose pension fund owned the shop that she was renting.....?

Ah - appreciate the thought. tbh I think she was never commercially driven enough to want world (or even Hampshire) domination. But some sort of income would have been nice ? she still does bits here and there, but it’s better as a hobby with pin money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right so because the poster works with some refugees he or she is knowledgable about all matters immigration? As I work with around 50 polish people do I qualify as knowledgable too or not? I notice no actual substance to your post, just the usual shooting down of other peoples opinions. As I said...just what i expected. Thought you owned your own business? Thought you worked across various seasides resorts? Know you work with 50 Polish people, just Polish and you are the only non Polish one? So what is true?

My main client who I work for about 60% of the time is a chain of seaside amusement arcades. Never said I worked with just Polish people. Never said I was the only non Polish person. Well done for thinking you had caught me out. Unfortunately you're not as clever as you would have yourself believe. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
