They went home after Brexit + COVID and now they can’t come back. Of course the trusty BBC only mention brexit in passing towards the end of the article.
They went home because they were treated poorly and made to feel unwelcome after brexit.
They’re not working for shitty businesses that don’t pay a fair wage.
People will be working cash in hand. Don’t blame them, I would do that rather than sign on ever again.
I think the very low take up of temp trucker visas is a massive clue.
Love the manner in which the sharp-elbowed middle class types have started to cry about “muh Brexit” here without even reading the piece.
>Many of the labour shortages in particular sectors have been attributed to a decline in the number of foreign workers in the UK.
>Because of a combination of Covid and Brexit, many EU nationals who worked in the UK have returned to their countries of origin.
>Mr Wilson of the IES believes that the lack of migrant workers is responsible for the one-third of the shortfall in the labour market, while the rise in economic inactivity accounts for the other two-thirds.

*Ms Shoesmith says the answer lies in persuading the economically inactive to return to the job market.*

She is talking about people who are not even claiming benefits! Soon to be demonised because they aren’t working for pennies in terrible jobs.
Bonkers.
Well more vacancy’s for British people . happy days
Left the army after 22 years . Could not get a decent paying job because of cheap labour fact . Could not get a council house because EU citizens get not too mention asylum seekers taking up property’s . it’s amazing the same people complain about housing being built on green belt land . Boils my piss
