I told you prior to the referendum/ That immigration had nothing to do with us belonging to the EU and what do we hear that European Construction workers and tradesman will be exempt from the effects of Brexit. Oh and of course bankers.....

Post-Brexit immigration system won't harm housebuilding - Sajid Javid

1st October 2016

European construction workers could be given special treatment after Brexit to make sure the Government can meet its ambitions of building a million new homes by 2020, Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has said.

Any new immigration system for EU workers would be designed with that target in mind, Mr Javid told the Financial Times.

Nearly 250,000 overseas workers are employed in the construction industry, with a large number from Eastern Europe, including more than 30,000 from Poland and almost 25,000 from Romania. Oh dear Brexiteers you have been shown to be mugs. You voted to stop immigration and you been shown the basic dishonesty of the leave side. I told you so but hey it was me spreading doom and gloom...what will it take for you to wake up? Stupid is as stupid does

European builders have joined bankers on the list of the EU migrants still welcome in Post-Brexit Britain, as Conservative minister Sajid Javid declared he would not let new border controls stand in the way of a surge in housebuilding.

The secretary of state for communities and local government said any new immigration system for EU workers such as “work visas” would be designed to ensure that “the building sector has got whatever it needs to reach my ambition” of building 1m homes by 2020.

Mr Javid told the Financial Times that tackling Britain’s housing crisis was his “number one priority”, and that he wanted to shift the focus towards increasing the supply of housing, not just boosting demand.

He will need foreign workers to achieve his targets: nearly 250,000 overseas workers are employed in the construction industry, including more than 30,000 from Poland and nearly 25,000 from Romania.

The London house builder Berkeley estimates that around half of its 14,000 subcontractors come from eastern Europe; Barrett, one of Britain’s biggest developers, said that up to 40 per cent of its workforce in London comes from mainland Europe.

Mr Javid, speaking ahead of the Conservative conference in Birmingham, which starts on Sunday, said he could not predict “what the future might look like in terms of work visas and foreign workers” but added that the economy would have access to the skills it needed.

“Wherever we end up, the government is determined to get a good deal for Britain,” he said. “Whether it’s construction or any other sector, we don’t want to make it any more difficult for those industries than it is.”

I told you so..........it was a myth designed to fool you, to lure you in and to blame your neighbour..and what has happened...? stupid is as stupid does....

The Venn Diagrams of Brexit...so you got your Country back did you?

There are three intersecting circles of interests around Brexit. The first circle is that of migration, the second of Sovereignty and the third of the European Trade area. The settlement that we get will depend on the area of intersection between the three. Yet the entire Brexit deal will be created by smoke and mirrors around concepts, ideas and perceptions that are valueless.

In a globalised World, the WTO the World Bank and the power of Corporations make nonsense of the Nation State and with sovereignty. The rules of global free trade, the coming of TTIP and the Rules of international trade show how the fabric of the lunatic Right and their nationalism is a bizarre psychosis of paranoid minds. As it is the the UK is straining at the bounds of the British State, Scotland is perhaps only 2 years from independence, a united Ireland is being discussed and we are talking about powers being devolved to other regions. In Spain Catalonia and the regions struggle to dissolve the centrality of the Spanish State. The nation state is under severe pressure and new forces appear even within the USA as regions become less similar, more local and of a different political ideologies. This makes nonsense the concept of a British or other sovereignties.

We have learnt that a globalised economy requires migration and immigration. The free movement of capital long celebrated by the Right means that with must come free movement of Labour. Climate change refugees by the million lurk around the corner and the lunatics of the Right deny it to their own peril. Only the other day I heard a young man while debating with me claim that migration was s imply a plot of the left to destroy the right. That immigration had nothing to do with the arms trade, global wars, economic rivalry. The Brexiteers have achieved their ends and left us with the implications of a settlement without understanding methods, approaches and consequences.

The European Trade area has already meant that Sajid Javid has said that European Construction Workers will be free from restriction in a Brexit Britain. The moaning about Polish Plumbers that UKIP did has been shown to be nonsence. Nothing is going to change Nigel and our country has become nastier, more ignorant and hate crimes are rising. The non skilled workers of the UK have been manipulated into being at the throats of their equivalent throughout Europe and the same has been made true for the unemployed and the outcasts of Europe. You got your country back did you and you handed straight over the the large industrialists and the merchant princes. Brexit is a myth and is simply the next stage of privatisation, hyper capitalism and the destruction of solidarity and respect.
