The key things I took from my quick glance was that if EU immigration has an effect on wages it is small and those most affected are those who themselves are immigrants resident in the country, not UK born and bred.

Ayatollah Hermione 12775 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 There's a direct correlation between those constantly arguing with this pudding head and those who agree with VAR imo. Damning evidence and you all need to get on the right side of history sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3226 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Research from University College London finds that an inflow of immigrants the size of 1% of the UK-born population leads to a 0.6% decline in the wages of the 5% lowest paid workers and to an increase in the wages of higher paid workers Edited March 28, 2018 by Kevin Carr's Gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3226 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 An updated version of this study, considering the period between 1992 and 2014, found similar results. This study found that a 1% rise in the share of immigrants reduced averages wages in unskilled and semi-skilled service sector by just under 0.2%.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 So in conclusion to this dreary debate. Everything posted confirms my position that immigration has lowered the wages of the worse off and increased the wages of the well off. Fuck me.

ewerk 26550 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Quote Speaking at a Chatham House event in London, Ms Thornberry said there was no chance everything would have been negotiated by the time of the promised vote. "So the question then is what's the nature of the divorce," she said. "If past evidence of the last few months is anything to go on, it's going to be a 'blah blah blah' divorce." She predicted the government would "continue to kick things down the road", adding: "So the difficulty is going to be with the meaningful vote in October which we have secured, is that what is it that we are going to be agreeing on - so we have six tests, if you hold up blah blah blah to six tests it will probably pass it." She added that she hoped for a general election in the meantime to give her party the chance to take over. That's basically an acceptance of the government's policy of kicking the can down the road. Thereby ensuring that there's no meaningful vote in October. It has already been proven that two of Labour's six tests will not be met yet the shadow Foreign Secretary is suggesting that the opposition will simply roll over and go along with whatever is negotiated regardless.

How on earth do you arrive at her conclusion from the preceding sentences? If your "tests" pass when handed any old shit then they're bad tests, for fucks sake I'd be sacked if I took that approach to testing stuff.

Wanted 100 billion, getting 37 No phase 2 til Ireland agreed... Permanent ECJ jurisdiction over citizens.... only 8 years No bespoke trade deal... Now getting bespoke trade deal. All more important than the Guardians soundbites. Feel free to dig out my Brexit check list. All boxes still ticked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
