  1.  @Notmyname1593  It will be better for the UK population as a whole if companies start hiring UK citizens instead of bringing in cheap labor from Poland, Romania etc pushing down the salaries for everyone within that industry.

  2. Also the salaries have started going up when companies cannot import cheap labor from the poorer EU countries pushing the salaries down. I think Pikachu will be happy when he sees his salary increase.

  3. The EU isn't all about the economy, if it was then the UK would not leave. The reason countries stay in the EU is for the economic benefit nobody wants to be told what to do by some far flung un-elected bureaucrats in Brussels

  4. I like how the EU labor agreement is explained to be that companies can pick the best and brightest people from all over the EU to other countries and then it transitions over to the UK and truck drivers. The reason UK had such a high demand was not because the UK lacks truck drivers it's because it's so much cheaper to hire truck drivers from outside the UK so you can circumvent all labor laws and salary requirements you would have to abide by if you hired UK truck drivers. So yeah prices will surely rise as a result but hopefully this means less people unemployed in the UK as UK companies will finally start to hire locals instead of bringing in people from Romania ignoring all labor laws and giving them a rock bottom salary. It's a bit tragic and comical that following labor laws and providing a fair salary for your own citizens is actually a bad thing for the economy. Globalism in a nutshell.
