Subject: RE: BS: what concessions has Cameron got
Wages are driven down by employers paying less. Most of those employers are British. Housing shortages are due to chronic lack of spending on housing by successive governments over decades. Lack of training for young people is largely down to a bogus apprenticeship scheme (3 million since 2011) that allows employers to pay young people a pittance for sweeping the floor and cleaning the toilets and to give them next to no genuine training at all, all just to keep the true unemployment figures hidden (zero-hours contracts and "self-employment" being the other main ploys). The NHS wouldn't exist any more but for the tens of thousands of immigrants of all skill levels that keep it afloat. The ageing population has sod all to do with the EU. If anything, the swarm of old people going off to live in Spain is probably taking strain off our health service. Turkey is nowhere near getting into the EU, and most terrorism on our shores is home-grown. One fine day you might actually put forward an argument that isn't coming from prejudice and ignorance. I'm not holding my breath.
