Better pay and conditions

[Derek Hardballs]

I read all the time on here, that the reason we don't have enough people from the UK to do X, Y, Z jobs is because the jobs don't pay enough and or the conditions aren't good enough. Can I ask who are going to do these jobs? If you put wages up in these 'undesirable sectors' then are those who can, want and are skilled enough to do those jobs will move from the jobs they are doing now. This doesn't solve anything, it simply moves the problems around different sectors. I don't believe that there are enough people within the UK in the places / locations that need these jobs that can do them over the short and even medium term. This isn't just a case of paying a little bit more for our shopping or pint of lager it's a fundamental problem. Taking away freedom of movement from those who freely came to the country to work cannot be solved by half measures of three month visa's and the like. Either those in power admit we need 'unskilled' labour (it was always skilled just didn't pay £30k a year) or they carry on stubbornly hiding behind ideological excuses why this isn't the case, whilst reality points to the fact we do. 

We set sail on the 'Good Ship' Brexit seemingly without any realistic route planned on how to find a solution to these fairly obvious problems that were pointed out to those who told us we had, had enough of experts but were ignored.
