Us 'uneducated' leavers already know all of this, nothing new in this doc, maybe the remainers need it explaining again?

What a ridiculous attitude to have. So we are all lazy , get drunk and claim benefits? Please show me the statistics to backup your claims.

So you would rather drivers get treated like crap, passengers get assaulted and have dangerous drivers all to save two quid and play on a pathetic mobile app?

Plenty of foreigners come here to shag and claim benefits, in fact I think they have officially taken over from the English cows as you put it.

@Theocracy8 You sound racist, do you have a problem with Indians and Chinese? Personally I'd rather have high skilled people here paying more taxes regardless of skin colour.

We can't change the welfare system unless we change it for everyone, the EU has already stated this. We have always had low paid sectors BUT the cost of living is now so high that only subsidized workers can afford to do that work by claiming benefits and sharing accommodation and bills. Brits cannot do this, especially the ones with mortgages and houses to maintain. What we need is to remove those benefits so we have a completely level playing field and only selecting high skilled workers that can completely support themselves with no drain on services. Plenty of Brits are willing an able to do those jobs IF there is a living wage in place.

If mass immigration is so lucrative then where are the new hospitals, roads, schools, housing and services? We are not willing to accept unlimited immigration without decent infrastructure and housing etc in place and an end to undercutting of wages and restrictions on benefits unless you've worked for at least 5 years full time. If we can't solve that then just leave and we will pay the tariffs on products until we get a cheaper competitor.

Why do some migrants get so vindictive? If Brexit has upset you that much then you are probably not strong enough mentally to cope with this work. Other migrants that came here in the 50's and 60's had to put up with far harsher comments, not on internet forums but in the streets and workplace but they got on with it, worked hard and got rewarded and respected. We aren't racists, we just want to be able to decide who comes here, stop undercutting of wages and get our own people trained, just like Polish people only want to decide who comes to their country. We welcome nurses and doctors of all races and couldn't care less who treats us as long as its a human. For decades we have had foreign nurses and doctors treating us, nothing new whatsoever..

The EU have only got a third of the number of EU migrants we have coming here and they are spread across 27 countries so hardly a burden on resources, jobs, housing or public services. Its about time the Eu started paying their own far more so they dont have to come here to the UK.

Who the feck do you think did it before the floodgates were opened? There is only a small percentage from the EU doing those roles anyway.

Of course we want the Govt to fix the benefits system, it wide open to abuse and far too generous to people that haven't contributed enough. The Govt need to stop benefits for anyone that hasn't paid in for at least 5 years and only provide support for up to 6 months with no housing benefits or child benefits. Not all immigrants are useful to us, too many low earners that might be paying taxes but nowhere near enough for the benefits and services they receive. I wonder why British employers like low paid immigrants, why do you think?

Bigot.

I wouldn't say people affected by the influx of immigrants are ignorant or deluded, they have a right to be angry and if you deny there is a problem then maybe you are the one that is deluded. No one is saying that Polish people don't work hard, no one is saying that some immigration isn't needed or that they aren't making a valid contribution. But what you have to recognize is that the fact that they are here in these numbers is that it undermines the wages of low paid British workers. It puts more pressure on housing, schools and the NHS. The Government says that all immigrants are net contributors, I disagree. Only a small percentage are and I have no issues with those but as soon as you need to subsidise their housing or provide a doctor or school then anyone on low pay cannot be contributing more than they take out. A Pole can come here and take a low paid low stress job with benefits top-ups and still be better off than they would be at home or compared to most low paid British workers. Plus the money they send back home or get in child benefits is worth much more back home. No one is blaming them for coming here (who wouldn't?) but someone has to accept responsibility for the tensions it causes especially when the Govt has no measure in place to ease the burdens and hasn't increased public spending on affordable housing, services and infrastructure to cope with the influx. That cannot be fair can it, it is not a level playing field either? Perhaps you see things completely differently but I suspect that millions of the people you are criticizing see things the way I've described.

Firstly stop being an arrogant bigot with your radiology badge, you have no idea what skills or education other people have so don't go thinking you're Einstein. Nothing special about radiology, hardly rocket science is it and at the end of the day its a job, 9-5 like the rest of us. If you had real brains you wouldn't need to work. Secondly where do you get the idea I'm Polish? Couldn't be further from the truth.

the shadow knows 'We' meaning the 52% that voted out dumbass, the majority get it? Mass immigration is killing the health service, its unlikely to survive if this continues. We need some immigration but I believe you are too thick to realise the difference between good and bad immigration.

Really? Well what do you think the New Labour policy is regarding immigration? Also whilst we are in the EU there isn't a thing we can do to control immigration levels so in effect it's unlimited. This is the main reason why so many people voted OUT of the EU as we have zero control over our borders.
1
But what are you going to do when your Polish Govt has to agree to accepting millions of refugees and immigrants that we won't have to take in after we leave the EU? Will you gladly provide the housing, jobs and benefits for them without complaining or will you act the same way that affected Brits have been acting whilst your wages go down and taxes up?
1
Mind my own business? How much have you contributed to the UK in taxes? We will still have immigration but be able to actually CHOOSE who we want to come here so all of the unskilled, long term scroungers and criminals wont be invited. That means we wont pay millions in unnecessary benefits to prop up crap wages for people we don't actually need and free up some housing.

Brits cannot do some of those jobs because they cannot afford to do them. Most of these Poles don't have a mortgage or property maintenance to pay out for and usually have accommodation thrown in with the job or share accommodation and bills. On top of that their earnings here are far greater than at home and even better with benefit topups or sending money back home where it will be worth far more than here. Let's get some perspective here BBC instead of the usual bias. If it was a completely level playing field few of us would object.

@prespa78 We've got all of those too in the UK.

How is it free trade?
1
Well its about time they had a taste of what its like to have to compete with lower paid people who are hungry. They can always take their high skills elsewhere anyway or setup their own business.

@user-vp6cq4sv3d Read my comment again as I mentioned nothing about race being a problem so stop your p1g ignorant race b@iting comments right now sunshine as you have no idea what you are talking about.

Too right, so they should have rejected it, silly woman getting way above her station and talking rubbish, these people are trying to get us a rotten deal so they can mug us off with a losers vote that will be rigged. Appeal all you like but the courts don't want to get involved in politics and she doesn't speak for any of us leavers who want out of the EU asap, not even bothered if we dont leave on 31st oct now as the longer this goes on the angrier brexiteers will beome and even remoaners will start to see what a farce it all is and probably join us.

The last thing this country needed after a financial crash was wide open doors to low skilled workers from the EU. Working class people have been mugged over yet again, its a disgrace. Lets hope the next decade is an improvement in terms of wages, for too long these employers have abused the situation. High skilled, high tax paying migrants only and no benefits.

Why?

I couldn't think of anything worse.

Big battery in that 'drone', just saying.

Needs a lot more diversity, including non whites and refugees like the rest of Europe.

Well I'm in as normal unless my boss says it's not essential. I would love to stay at home and be safe but most of us are debt slaves so not an option.

Meanwhile I still see planes flying and its racist to want the borders closed according to the liberals.

Going well then.

The BBC must think we are completely stupid. After the last few years where us 'CT's' have been proved correct on almost everything and soon to be everything they have no credibility left. These 15/20 minute cities are very real, they are all about restricting movement under the guise of climate change and are nothing but an open prison of high rise, high density buildings with all of us living on top of each with each tower block packed to the rafters. The cameras will be going in under the guise of ulez to restrict movement and only those that can afford it will be able to move about until people get fed up with them and do something about it.

Painful to watch after the carnage the Tories have caused to the country, its disgusting but Labour also caused carnage before them and cannot be trusted. The trouble with the Tories is that they only measure success on how wealthy the rich are and couldn't care less about how ordinary people are fairing.

@Swaggie 707 He looked like he had the world on his shoulders the week before when remain were losing. Then the polls changed at the last minute....but were wrong.

Us Brits have a high cost of living and not working isn't an option for 99%
