What is ‘homesite’ ? Richard help establish Homeserve who own Checkertrade "Who are Checkertrade? Homeserve do own Checkatrade, acquired a couple of years ago. They're hated within the building game though. Oh and BTW, we definitely have a shortage of builders. Why? Because the building game isn't seen as a lucrative career anymore. Wonder why that might be? | |||

"What happened before 1992? With freedom of movement came a glut of low charging foreign builders which made it unsustainable for a lot of the domestic builders. Maybe now it will be more appealing as a trade. " So we’re going back to lazy arsed UK builders over charging for jobs ? Another Brexit bonus | |||

"Screw fix saying all trades in short supply . 70-80k Driver shortage causing building materials backlog and slow supply. Will hit supermarkets this summer according to the big four including Tesco. Shortage of nurses and care workers . 180k shortage in hospitality . 30k shortage of border force needed for Brexit!! The last one just amazing !! What a plan . 2 m workers leaving to go back home. It seems a bit of a big ask to carry on as normal. It wasn’t cheap labour it was workers paying tax and a lot of skilled workers too. The number of workers equal to the population of Birmingham just picking up sticks and leaving is a massive problem for any country. Biggest own goal in history . " Yeah but, it’s kids going to Uni that are to blame  | |||

There was always more immigration from outside of Europe . 90% of EU migrants came as workers. The rest of the world is the total reverse as 80% came as dependants or students .

"How many do we have unemployed ? Perhaps the government's of the last 30 years should have told kids to get a trade instead of a fucking useless degree. I have to agree, A trade apprenticeship takes between 2-3 years , we voted to leave 5 years ago , the tories had plenty of time to prevent this It goes back far longer than that" Maybe if people voted for governments which were pro-wealth distribution in the form of greater access to education and reeducation for adults, we could have 'british jobs for British workers'. As it stands we've had 10 years+ of Tory majorities mismanaging skill training and retraining in this country. Birds come home to roost if you ask me. | |||

Insurance premiums just too high for inexperienced drivers . Training - It cost £3-5k to put a driver through his licence and who’s to say he will pass? So an individual won’t spend the money it’s too risky. Companies should pay I hear you say. They do and a lot more than us being stated, however that option has its own minefield, If you keep paying and he repeatedly doesn’t pass it’s burnt money. Let’s assume he passes and even if he has a contract with you he just ups and leaves and how do you chase him for the money without spending more money on someone who’s probably unemployed?? Like we need nurses so they get free education drivers are needed so free training!! Just a thought!! The regulations regarding driver CPC resulting in older drivers just not bothering and leaving the industry. Government's fault. Constant traffic jams resulting in sleeping in cabs Governments fault. Complete lack of suitable parking across the country resulting in having to sleep on industrial estates or some side road with no washing or toilet facilities Governments fault. It’s just becoming a totally unattractive job so why would anyone want to do it unless they just love driving?? The European drivers have hidden the problems of the industry for years and also given us a huge pool of willing hard workers. We now have a gaping hole and it’s not going to be easily fixed. It’s a shame they didn’t interview the Logistics U.K. chairman as they represent the corporate end of logistics. It would have been a better example of road and rail etc. RHA is more family firms. Industry is hiking prices across the board and especially on exports. 10% plus. Expect your shopping to cost more sometime soon. Anyway don’t worry this was all taken into account with Boris’ detailed exit plan so I’m sure the answer will be revealed when we find those sunny uplands!! | |||

"What happened before 1992? With freedom of movement came a glut of low charging foreign builders which made it unsustainable for a lot of the domestic builders. Maybe now it will be more appealing as a trade. So we’re going back to lazy arsed UK builders over charging for jobs ? Another Brexit bonus "Why do class a whole countries builders as lazy and other nations not? it seems to me you have a very narrow minded view of nationalities.

"I find it a bit odd that foreign workers are often see as responsible for undercutting local workers,yet its the english bosses who are quite happy to screw british workers to save a few quid.

"“The lack of building materials is probably more of a worry at the moment.” That’s partly back to the lack of HGV drivers! Everything is linked. In MY experience with trades there are good and bad in all nationalities. However, it has felt like the Polish builders were A) Hungrier for the work and B) Worked their socks off. In MY experience with British builders it was all POETS day and popping off “to get materials” when they were really quoting other jobs." is t it the same as when brits work abroad | |||

Well yes and no in my opinion because I do think a lot this is unnecessary and is a tit for tat approach trying to get one up on the other, freedom of movement ending should of had no need to have a affect on people that have lived in a certain country for many years like what is happening at the moment here and in the EU, these people are not moving around they have set up home and created a life and contribute to the economies and society's that they live in.
Who voted to end freedom of movement? "You already know the answer to that question, no dispute there either but surely you can also see that a lot of this stuff that is going on is bullshit and point scoring, surely it doesn't need to be this way for citizens that have lived in whatever country for a long period of time, they are settled and are not moving so whats the issue, so why can't both sides be grown ups and grant citizenship/ settled status or whatever you want to call it is what I am getting at. | |||

The drive to make the split more restrictive, to make it harder for existing residents to stay in countries when they have been living for years, to make it harder for goods to pass from one country to another, has all come 100% from the conservative government of the united kingdom. The EU is still bending over backwards, allowing the UK to unilaterally ignore rules that it itself set, giving extension after extension for the UK to implement the controls that Boris Johnson personally promised, trying their best to maintain the agreement that allows peace between Eire and Northern Ireland. The EU throughout has acted in a dignified and adult manner. The UK brexit team have lied, prevaricated, had no idea what they actually wanted, failed to deliver anything that they did promise, broken legally binding treaties before the ink they signed them with had chance to dry, and generally behaved in a totally immature and dishonourable fashion. On the particular matter of continuing right of residence, there is a brexit campaign document bearing the signatures of Boris Johnson, Priti Patel and Michael Gove that states, and I quote exactly, that "There will be no change for EU citizens already lawfully resident in the UK. EU citizens will automatically be granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK and will be treated not less favourably than they are at present." The current fuck up is totally caused and owned by the PM and members of his cabinet breaking their word. These people do not know what truth is, they are not fit to hold public office of any sort. My opinion is nothing to do with which political party they are members of, it is totally due to the fact that they have proven themselves by their public record to be utterly untrustworthy and to have brought disgrace upon the name of the United Kingdom. | |||

" 2019 - Estimated 3.4 million EU citizens resident in UK 2021 - 4.9 million EU citizens granted settled status in UK Looks like they have indeed been treated correctly and have an indefinite right to remain in the UK. | |||
