It will now be possible for employers in this country to invite bricklayers from abroad to come and work for them at 80% of the going rate for British workers. The same applies to a host of other trades.

The people to blame are the apathetic public who don’t care enough to protest and rebel.
Populations have often kicked out their own governments but it takes action and courage.🤔

We are also importing politicians too and I think that is part of the problem. 🤡

How can we need more workers when immigration has never been so high?
It's never-ending. The more brought in, the more that is needed to sustain those numbers = a never-ending flow.

Having worked on a site for many years it isn't just labourers, or trades, the managers on sites are increasingly of foreign descent. I despair tbh. They all go home to a nation they love in their holidays, which are largely untouched by mass immigration, and we tolerate an ever ongoing cultural decline. At what point were we ever asked our opinion on this?

Back in the 1990’s, the then governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King along with Tony Blair decided that opening up the UK to cheap labour from Eastern Europe would “drive down unit labour costs” It’s been a deliberate policy by all governments since.

The UK Colleges offering Construction Courses are many & a good few thousand British blokes must be coming onto the Market every Summer. What they learn has been cut to the bare minimum. A relative of mine, a Master Builder, had this Apprentice. The lad hated having to go to the College as he was learning more at his work than in College. It is shameful that young British lads are losing out. Once again, we're the Soft Touch. Joe Public being ripped off & shafted.

The politicians have contempt for the native and established people of the UK. No concern that people should not have to financially scrape by for life.

Will make a change from all those Doctors and lawyers we have been getting of late.

I was in a large hotel in Newcastle recently, nearly all the young staff had a strong Geordie accent, it was like a breath of fresh air....
Contrast this to when i visit Peterborough near home and the hotels, hospitals and coffee shops are staffed overwhelmingly foreigners.

The fact that high schools have been incessantly pushing pupils towards universities (to make their figures look better) instead of trades, for decades, hasn’t helped at all.

Most of the people I know who are tradesmen earn far more than the ones with degrees.

These crooked politicians need to be removed by force ASAP.

Good luck trying to get them all to confirm with and follow health and safety rules and building quality standards.

I agree totally with your comments I used to be a Groundworker unfortunately due to a spinal operation I had to change profession, but I remember listening to LBC Radio 20 yrs ago about 2 men who were lifelong friends who went to college Qualified as Bricklayers together started their own business after many years built up a Business employing 10 Bricklayers , but listening to them ring in LBC about the phone in Talk they both said they were having to give up their Business and Emigrate to Canada, because nearly every Tender that they priced for their Jobs, they were now being undercut by Immigrant Builders and losing work they decided they would emigrate, this is the story of British workers in the Building trade Born in this Country going to College to get a Trade but now having to leave their Birth Country, or else change profession . I was in my Local post office some months ago a Chap European speaking went to the counter and in Broken English said he wants to send money Transfer to Romania the cashier asked him for his Credit Card he said no I give you Cash he then counted out
£ 500 pounds in Various Notes to make the Transaction, this is the Black Market where these Workers are Getting Csh in The Hand not paying any Taxes or National insurance, but they are also Claiming Housing benefits and no doubt other Benefit as well, when I finished my transaction as I walked out of the post office this same guy was sitting in a top of the range BMW on a Double yellow Line with Romanian euro plate on his car . And I see now on the Indeed Job vacancy site as I am registered with them, whereas you could not get employed on a Jobsite without a CSCS construction scheme card now Indeed are showing jobs where you do not need this Accreditation .
Which underlines your point for these employers using the Black Market .

The tradesmen and their families....build the new schools, hospitals and of course, new homes. The Green and Pleasant Land is going to be concrete!

Imagine if we had no immigration and a declining population, what a garden of Eden we would live in. Instead of this vicious circle of needing more immigration to service the immigrants.

This has been going on for over twenty years, since East European countries joined the EU.

You've hit the nail on the head, no pun intended, its just a ploy to keep tradesmans wages low.
