Now you know how the working classes felt when the liberal elites got their pay rises with being int he EU but they suffered from wage stagnation due to free movement. Being in the EU, a shambles.

@@Willywin free movement didn’t cause wage decreases my friend. Capitalism caused wage decreases because the inherent desire for all the profit going to the top means they’ll dip your pay. Also it’s been proven that immigration keeps wages the same apart form extremely small changes (which get outweighed when you realise we get a ton of tax revenue that we can use to help those struggling) Also ever heard of a union? Immigrants tend to join those more, you should too

​@@MikeSpike117 So when an employer can say, you dont like the wages - dont worry, I can get someone from a poor part of Europe that will... and the EU enabled that by free movement in fact that was what free movement was intended to achieve for the corporatists and multi national companies with their lobbyists in Brussels all of whom make generous unaccountable political donations to said EU politicians and nice cushy retirement jobs for the bureaucrats- you are by design or through being a useful idiot aiding and abbeting the multi nationals to treat people as disposable items. Go to the communities and ask real people - not book read your latest socialist pamphlet... Regarding immigrants paying taxes - yes they do and take far more out of the system than they will ever put back in - how about insisting on a health insurance policy for foreign workers int he UK to ensure the UK taxpayer doesn't end up paying for their healthcare, how about a levy on employers to ensure the local council tax payers are not subsidising the company by subsidising the housing and education of foreign workers they employ. Regarding being in a trade Union... I was in one, I was in the NUM, in fact I was an elected official - back when Coal was King and socialists were all for keeping coal mines open - how things have changed now the Champaign middle class university educated socialist brigade have adopted all things climate. I was on strike several times for lengthy periods in the name of solidarity and each time I got pissed on from a great height - and not from the Conservative Government, they were honest they said what they wanted - no I was pissed on by so called fellow Trade Unionists and left wing politicians who when it came to the crunch didn't turn up - so save your preaching for someone who hasn't lived through real history and has only a re-written version of history in a pamphlet to go on. I worked and lived in a community that was badly affected by free movement - odds on you weren't or you wouldn't be singing its p'raises.

@@Willywin 1) join a union (because that’s what you do to keep your wages) and considering real wages have gone down you’d probably want to adjust them back up (wages have been going down since before we joined the EU) 2) with the whole getting cheap labour thing that’s just an inherent problem with capitalism 3) so you agree that socialism and by extend communism is better for the planet? When you talk about the champagne middle class I think you’re referring to liberals who think we can make change in the current system 4) You said yourself that free movement overall benefits countries, can you please explain to me the downside of it (because wages don’t decrease if not extremely marginal, more revenue for the government, growing up with more diverse neighbourhoods, way less crime and use of public services compared to the native population) I’m genuinely confused as to what the negatives are

And yet so many Europeans want to come here to work and live - why is that? And yet so many migrants travel through Italy (a nice safe country) and France (a wealthy safe country) to come to the UK - someone should tell them how bad it is. Why do so many Irish leave Ireland to come and work and live in the UK if it is so bad?

@@EuroB0B1 Universal credit isn't all bad. But it does make people in certain circumstances worse off. In general all of the new style benefits make people worse off than what is called legacy benefits, they have more strict rules and generally you get less for them. It's hard for me to really describe all of the issues I've seen without writing an essay... I'm just going to say I've personally experienced just how bad it is trying to claim disability benefit, I've also worked for a charity and seen many other people having the same issue or various other issues with benefits and money. It is good you are managing, and some of those on the left do probably play on it. But there is a genuine issue here I believe. It isn't always to do with how much you're getting, actually getting the benefits your entitled to as I briefly alluded to can be a real challenge.

The weird thing was also because of the Cameron-Clegg cabinet capping benefits in the 2010 and 2011 budgets, the average monthly pay from benefits was reduced but in 2020 the budget allowed for more money (around an extra £80 per month) which was apparently supposed to be a long term increase anyway but now they plan to cut it after April 2021 for the next budget because the official announcement is now it was only supposed to help during the SARS-Cov crisis for a year for the unemployed

You are 100% correct. I'm in California and it's a disaster (and we are the richest state with the most govt support, its way worse in the poorer states). I have a dual citizenship with Germany thanks to my Mom and am thinking of moving there.

Fact is, the UK has the biggest wealth divide in western Europe. But the selfish rich who bang on about equality for all dont want to actually relinquish anything they have so others can prosper too. It's a total hypocrisy. Our area still gets thousands of pounds less per person in terms of government funding than the likes of London so levelling up is not going happen in my or our child's lifetime.

40 million Americans filed for unemployment during the pandemic, but billionaires saw their net worth increase by half a trillion dollars. That is disgraceful.

Don't call me Clown, Moustache 45% of their earnings? Yeah that's not how tax works, a bit gets taken at each bracket, it's not an overall percentage

@don't call me a clown Migration has been down to its lowest for years as well as being stagnant this year, and the UK is still suffering. Britain never had high migrant intake to begin with anyway. Fix the abysmal tax system that allows so many big corporations to get away legalised criminal acts and pay your service providers in line with the rate of inflation. How can your bumbling politicians get pay rises during the crisis, but freeze the pay of the nurses and other front line workers risking their lives daily?
