    Ohhhh.

    So they're doing the whole 'Europeans need to breed more or we'll be overrun' thing.

    And young people are learning too much as well.

    Less learning more breeding. That'll sort us out.

    I wish I was making this up.

    'Why aren't woman having more babies, that they should only have if they can afford 'em?'
    This is all very perplexing. Where does the fruit-picker training come in. Do the new less educated babies get the training?
    This is the Brexit promised jobs boost.
    Except we all know the reason immigrants do the work is cos nobody here wants to.
    Ah, Thats why we need a new peasant class.

    We need British peasants, not reliance on EU peasants.

    The home secretary told the National Conservatism conference Brexit enables a high-skilled, high wage economy to be built "that is less dependent on low-skilled foreign labour.

    Still perplexed. Did she not mention who would replace the low-skilled foreign labour. I guess it will be the uneducated fruit picking babies.

    They can tempt those in other low paid jobs like the care sector to retrain. I can't see any issue with that, it's not like we are already struggling to recruit in those roles.

    Aren't we overthinking this? How much training does a fruit/veg picker need?
    I did it as a teenager during summer school holidays, zero training.

    You said that about the EU 2 weeks ago.

    If Britain is to go alone it needs to be competitive regarding regulation.

    It does not have the scale nor might of the EU to boss international companies around into behaving better.

    Instead this adds some credence to the Blizzard complaint:

    I was attempting sarcasm. The idea that there are thousands of people out there who would love to become fruit pickers for a few months each year but are being held back by a lack of training is lunacy but given who is going on about it we shouldn’t be surprised.

    There's a reckoning coming for political parties if the housing market isn't sorted.

    It may turn out that Corbyn was just a decade early.

    I didn't say the EU was trying to block the merger, because they had not announced their decision.

    I did say the EU was doing something similar to the UK with regard to instant messaging regulation. It was even in the news that day.

    Microsoft will be bound by the UK decision unless it pulls out of the UK.

    Do you think the EU is right in this case?
