You speak as if your personal philosophy were fact. It is not, it you take on matters. As for migrant labour, the UK can do what many other countries do and that is to issue work permits. A work permit, of course, carries no right to reside. Europeans are hard working ? I worked in the Netherlands for a while and pleased be advised, by comparison, the British work harder and longer, I have had Germans and Americans and Belgiums working for me and I didn't notice anymore dedication to the job than is displayed by the British. So taking the Belgiums, for example up to 13 Saint days off. The French 35 hour week, I know most about Holland though. They get roughly the same amount of public holidays per year as we do. However, the duty employer has to pay the travel expenses of his employees to and from work. They get roughly the same annual leave too, but in any particular month you could take one and a half 'snipper days',you just phone in to say that you were taking a 'snipper day', no need to book it. Then the Dutch get holiday pay (that means double pay) in May, or June That is one full month's pay extra per year. Thus, the Dutch employer has to pay his employees for a 13 month year, but that is not all. The 'snipper days' also add up to nearly the working days of the month, so the hapless employer has to pay his employees for nearly the equivalent of 14 months of the year, not
counting the. Incidentally the German so called economic miracle was largely built upon best arbiters, 3,000,000 of them mainly Turks and Morocans. They did the dirty industrial jobs that the Germans did not want to do, but they were allowed to stay as long as they had employment. So if we need additional labour, the the work permit is a tried and tested method of obtaining it
