Nick, I dare you to take this idea that immigration doesn't suppress wages round to building sites across the south east, delivery drivers, taxi drivers, and well, pretty much any non PAYE job that requires investment in youth to train people up to a hireable level and see what response you get.

Wages are being driven down in all sectors. The daily rate for supply teachers has dropped by thirty or forty quid a day. Immigration isn't responsible for this.

Where there are sectors where immigrants are undercutting wages, is it not common for these jobs to be advertised abroad. That's down to bosses trying to squeeze as much profit as possible. That's conservative Britain for you. Squeeze the f*** out of workers to make more profit and find something to blame for it other than what it really is.

Nick I have saidb it before and I will repeat it.
In an awful lot of case's where you have European workers,they share houses,bills and all associated costs.
I know this because I talk to lots of them on the loading bays when I'm delivering.
They can afford to take the jobs.....british people with families can't, and it will not improve until the companies do not have an endless supply of people from there.
Surely that makes sense,stop the supply and they are forced to make the jobs better paid.

Clearly immigrants willing to work for low wages drives down wages. Clearly having hundreds of thousands of immigrant each years deepens the housing crisis. Clearly such immigration strains education, health and other services. Clearly such levels of immigration cause community tensions. It is simply nonsense to pretend otherwise.

The supply teacher wages are government policy related.

The failure to incentivise and base taxes around encouraging apprenticeships and training mean the immigrants are needed. The problem is twofold or threefold.

Employers, government, immigrants. Pick whichever order, doesn't really matter. The constant import of cheaper labour will just feed the cycle. Then after earning less, they face the housing problem.

Again, housing suppliers, government, immigrants.

I don't blame anybody in particular or any group. All take some blame, all care about the short term.

When all the treaties and agreements were signed 1980's and 1990's in order for the doors to be opened down the line it was The Tory Party that was in power and it was them who signed up to it. Labour just happened to be in power when it came to fruition.

That amounts to the same thing.

Only a total moron can't see that a bigger available work force has to stagnate wages

Not that I'm suggesting that you are a moron.

Fair dos. You were.

But it still would have happened anyway a few years later as that could not be avoided going back to what was signed up to by them pesky Tories.

That was just an amendment to existing legislation. Freedom of movement was already here.

Found within this article is a Bank of England report from 2015 that found that mass immigration has lowered wages. It's simple supply and demand. More competition for jobs, wages go down.

I'm not partisan in the slightest, but it's funny how the Labour stance on Brexit effectively goes against the interests of the 'working class'. How times change.

It's a directive. Here's an explanation:

[Link]

It clearly states it is a directive replacing 'piecemeal' legislation dating back to the 1970's but it is a new EU directive, not an 'amendment'. If it was an 'amendment' it would state that it is an 'amendment to a directive'.

Quite see your technical points about the ECB but for Joe Bloggs he knows its going to happen but not where or when.

I (happily) disagree.
Joe Bloggs (ie the majority) doesn't have a clue.
