Re: Brexit or Britin
No, but both those songs epitomise his two tunes. He has 'sloppy ballad' and 'basic rock'. They are his two tunes. His entire back catalogue is either one or the other.LeverEnd wrote:I presume you are referencing Everything I Do and Summer of 69?Bruce Rioja wrote:Or be lectured to by someone who's done very well out of having precisely two tunes?thebish wrote:hang on - at last someone we can all trust...

Finally, the myth of all the Doctors, nurses, scientists and skilled tradesmen has been put to bed and that by the remainians!Leaving the EU could cause catastrophic staff shortages in some sectors, as 88% of EU workers in Britain would not qualify for a visa under the current rules, remain campaigners have warned.
scientists
A report from the Social Market Foundation thinktank has found that the majority of the 1.6 million EU workers in the UK do not meet the skills and earnings criteria that those from outside the bloc need in order to qualify for a work visa.

meaningless drivel... a LOT of EU workers in the UK are doing jobs like fruit-picking/hotel-work (jobs that our own home-grown labour force struggles to fill) - and they don't usually fill criteria based on pay and qualifications absolutely because they are low-pay/low-skilled jobs - which is one of the reasons why we need them to come over and do them...
it is a question for LEAVERS to grapple with... how exactly would their quota system deal with the range of jobs and skills we need? I have often heard it said that we wold only allow people in to do jobs that our home-grown labour force couldn't do... could that ever apply to fruit-picking?

Johnny Scratchcard pitches up down the Dole office: Q - Are you able bodied? A - Yes: Well here's a basket then and a wimberry* picking you go, you can consider other career options whilst you're at it, you lazy nice person. Don't darken our threshold again.

*Other fruits are available to be picked.

There are loads of regionalised labour problems that EU migrants fill.
I'm not saying that is a good system, it causes huge issues at times. But equally taking it away overnight is going to leave a hole that is not going to be easily (legally) filled.

it might make you feel better - but the fruit farmer might not be best pleased at the forced and unwilling labour force you have sent his way!

hmmm... I still reckon that employers prefer to choose their own workers a state-controlled labour distributuion service for companies sounds a bit scary...Bruce Rioja wrote:Performance related pay, dear boy!

Re: Brexit or Britin
But the employers aren't really choosing are they?! They're making do with East European peasants because they're the only type that they can drum up.
