Low wages have always been there. Hence whole families holidaying in Kent hop picking and likewise elsewhere. These jobs now with migrants more willing to work for these low wages

I believe most leavers would welcome the Australian points system. Also being able to support yourself for 6 months without relying on the state from day one. I'd much prefer we assist the ex services with homes etc rather than them ending up on the street.

Indeed, shame on them. You will have someone on here rolling out the usual brexit line that you are not supporting the democratic will of the majority being enacted after the largest democratic vote in our country's history

Do you really think many EU migrants come over to go on benefits?

Try opening your eyes you'll be amazed. Be interesting for the government to give out figures for this and social housing but I'm sure it would be too damning. Put it this way try it in Australia they would put you straight back on the boat

Well the Dutch minister has already said this post referendum and it was widely reported, did you honestly not know, yet you have been a main antagonist on this thread and you cannot recall this damning verdict from one of the main EU players.

Bert Koenders
The Dutch foreign minister has told Sky News that Britain's benefits system is partly to blame for the defeat and departure of David Cameron because it attracts migrants to the UK.
He told Sky's Lisa Holland: "You have relatively low wages and at the same time immediately people get a lot of benefits.
"That attracts a lot of migration. It has nothing to do with Europe. It has to do with your domestic rules and regulations.

Blimey so you are telling me that Brexit is the fault of the Tories, not Europe
I thought the EU was the cause of all our ills

Speaking of (Guardian sourced?) deception a directive that only applies in specific circumstances and used to repatriate thousands. There are 3.7 million EU citizens here, 2.4 million employed .. how many could we have stopped/removed? How much cost involved in monitoring all these people and repatriating them where appropriate not including the inevitable sob stories/legal challenges .... 'easily taken back control' my arse.
Err it's higher because they have set the points system level to encourage a certain level of immigration.

Around 50 Labour MPs have just rebelled against Jeremy Corbyn to vote with Libs/SNP to stay in the Single Market and Customs Union - that's more than a fifth of the PLP.
Blimey.....Labour Party tearing itself apart now.
These are interesting times.

I think Macron said something similar about Calais - illegal immigrants attracted by UK benefits system.

Even the Leader of the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign admitted as much.
He might be campaigning to keep Britain in the European Union, but Lord Rose might have inadvertently scored an own goal when he admitted yesterday that a Brexit would result in higher wages for domestic workers.
The former head of Marks & Spencer, who is leading the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign, told MPs yesterday that if the country quit the trading bloc then "the price of labour will, frankly, go up".

Mate, please read it carefully, I said the victory depended on an element of racists, Pastafarian seems to suggest that all paedos voted remain, as daft as that is, I don't consider that he is calling me a paedo. It was not aimed at you, or even the majority of leave voters.
It does not make me feel better at all.

I was very surprised to find the amount of racist attitudes still existing. You did not surprise me as being a leave voter though.
