Everyone knows it but just over half won't admit that the effects of brexit which were masked by the pandemic are now being shown for the disastrous outcome that was inevitable.

Don’t worry, the government are planning on granting 1,000 visas for ‘foreign’ butchers to help out, not sure why ?

It the same in every industry in the country, for so many years business has not bothered to invest in training apprentices or new staff because there was a never ending supply of employees they could draw from. Now that supply is less with brexit and covid, so as has been said they are reaping what they have sown by not investing in there staff and putting profit and shareholders first all these years. Its going to take quite some time for the economy and labour market to rebalance and there is no quick fix. Even if we reinstated free movement of labour it would in effect only kick the can down the road, it would not solve these issues long term, just paper over them again, then everyone would go back to not giving a monkeys about lorry drivers conditions, or vegetable and fruit pickers being treat like s..... just like they never did before. People only seem interested when it suddenly effects there lives.

Probably like most other industries including construction and even nursing where the government and organisations failed to plan for the future. Tony Blair and the Labour Party encouraged everyone to realise their potential and go to university instead of pushing apprenticeships to ensure we have the right skilled people in the required numbers. The so called foreign cheap labour(hard working people who came here to use their skills) was always going to be a short sighted and unsustainable business model.

If we want the best we must pay the cost and train the best and get the current generation of to consider training and upskilling.

I cant say I have any personal knowledge of how people learn in a abattoir so I am sure you are correct, and I am sure there are plenty of other professions like this too where it is learnt whilst doing the job, but even with this if the employer always took the easy route of ringing the temp agency and getting someone in instead of investing and retaining new staff you can see how they now find themselves in the situation they are in.

and cue huge imports of bland meat raised with extremely poor husbandry rules as it will be cheaper than meat slaughtered by time served workers educated through craft based apprenticeships.

Butchers on average make 32k a year, that is a decent wage , but I am guessing it’s hard work and not very ‘desirable’,

Probably a lack of it being seen as an honorable job nowadays, who the fuck wants to be a butchers apprentice and having a bunch of animal cruelty people screaming at you for your choice in trade?

Either that or simply everyone wants to be a youtuber rather than getting elbow deep in cadaver...

I don't get why everyone's so surprised, our country has for the last however many years, had an emphasis on training and education for white collar and creative industries and left the blue collar industries to be filled with temps and people desperate for anything they can get to get off benefits.

Butchery is an apprenticed field, you can't learn it in school can you? Between the direction that education has taken in creating computer and creative field candidates and the disappearance of apprenticeships as a direction that is advertised to young people, it's no wonder that these types of jobs are seeing shortages of people with the knowledge?

There are many many industries that have been lost to automation and computers doing the work, cars being built, glass work, carpentry etc etc

There are fantastic opportunities in the jobs market.

In certain occupations we are virtually back to full employment for the first time in decades.

Where there are shortages of labour, wages rise and that is an economic signal for more people to join that sector.

Any shortages are temporary until people respond to improvements in pay.

When I left school ..in the EU days...there were 4.5m unemployed

When wages and prices rise, and there is no increase in supply, inflation takes place.

Yes, and while we were in the EU/EC.

There is very little/no upward pressure on wages in those circumstances.

Thankfully, thanks to leaving the EU that flooding of the labour market is coming to an end.

Workers can walk out on bad employers. They are getting pay rises.

These are good conditions in which to join the labour market. Very revealing that Remainers want to reverse that

Many Polish (and other countries) migrants here travel here for a few months in the summer to work, mostly in food manufacture and then return home in the winter. In recent years the British meat supply has come more and more from processing sites in Poland, which has pushed them to expand their facilities and created far more jobs. So travelling to work here for ever increasing shit wages whilst the cost of travelling to and living here is rising is an ever worsening choice.

Have you ever compared UK unemployment figures with the EU's?

I advise you to go and look.

Also, you might check out the EU's anaemic growth figures. Why are EU economies not flourishing?

I'm afraid I don't understand your use of the word 'contraction'...were you thinking of 'contradiction' but got mixed up?

Figures are stable as for trade across the EU, where they also had covid. Only the UK indulged in the self harm of brexit.

"When I left school ..in the EU days...there were 4.5m unemployed

that was the figure during the worst lows of the thatcher tory government

Yes, and while we were in the EU/EC.

There is very little/no upward pressure on wages in those circumstances.

Thankfully, thanks to leaving the EU that flooding of the labour market is coming to an end.

Workers can walk out on bad employers. They are getting pay rises.

These are good conditions in which to join the labour market. Very revealing that Remainers want to reverse that

More revealing is that the UK economy flourished in the EU, now not so much, and Brexitters are happy with that contraction, or don't understand it. you would think we had been out the eu for decades lol it just can’t be compared just yet I think most would agree and there’s that thing called covid lol

Figures are stable as for trade across the EU, where they also had covid. Only the UK indulged in the self harm of brexit. "

but it’s not just harming the U.K. the eu loose aswell but that’s life I understand you wanted to stay but we are out now time to move on don’t you think gives you more time to consentrate on our own sack of shit government

Ah, the "they need us more than we need them" line.

That turned out well.

Brexit. An utter bungle.

You don’t need Brexit create pay rises, just increase the minimum wage, btw, why are the government granting visas for foreign drivers ?

"Probably like most other industries including construction and even nursing where the government and organisations failed to plan for the future. Tony Blair and the Labour Party encouraged everyone to realise their potential and go to university instead of pushing apprenticeships to ensure we have the right skilled people in the required numbers. The so called foreign cheap labour(hard working people who came here to use their skills) was always going to be a short sighted and unsustainable business model.

If we want the best we must pay the cost and train the best and get the current generation of to consider training and upskilling.

Butchers on average make 32k a year, that is a decent wage , but I am guessing it’s hard work and not very ‘desirable’,

Butchery is an apprenticed field, you can't learn it in school can you? Between the direction that education has taken in creating computer and creative field candidates and the disappearance of apprenticeships as a direction that is advertised to young people, it's no wonder that these types of jobs are seeing shortages of people with the knowledge?

There are many many industries that have been lost to automation and computers doing the work, cars being built, glass work, carpentry etc etc

There was no shortage last year

Poland has no shortage of abbatoirs...

Why is that relevant?

Many Polish (and other countries) migrants here travel here for a few months in the summer to work, mostly in food manufacture and then return home in the winter. In recent years the British meat supply has come more and more from processing sites in Poland, which has pushed them to expand their facilities and created far more jobs. So travelling to work here for ever increasing shit wages whilst the cost of travelling to and living here is rising is an ever worsening choice. "

yes they travel here and work for low wages brilliant for employers and consumers not brilliant for the uk work force. Then the wages leave the country and get spent elsewhere.... with the uk becoming a suckling piglet dependent on mummy lol like needing russia for gas etc rather than growing some balls and organizing its own essentials... which is why weve got no lorry drivers because weve become a suckling piglet with our young becoming bloggers... blog me some fuel baby!

It is a myth that across the board wage increases result in a net improvement in people’s lives and standard of living.

When wages go up it impacts on prices resulting in inflation ultimately wiping out the net benefit of the pay rise. This disproportionately impacts on the lower paid.

Problems getting fuel

It's great to see such good opportunities for young people.

The EU flooded our labour market with cheap labour so bad bosses didn't employ or train UK staff.

Brexit means they now have to pay more and provide proper career structures.

We are now transitioning away from the EU cheap labour model and I'm really pleased that young people are now in a stronger position vis-a-vis employers

It's because you can't turn on a supply of skilled/apprenticed job overnight. You knew that.

But it's great that opportunities are opening up for young people. I'm sure you'll agree...or would you go back to the old model of importing cheap labour?

The EU flooded our labour market with cheap labour so bad bosses didn't employ or train UK staff.

Brexit means they now have to pay more and provide proper career structures.

We are now transitioning away from the EU cheap labour model and I'm really pleased that young people are now in a stronger position vis-a-vis employers

Why are we creating all these temporary visas? Why aren’t the young people of Britain doing these jobs?

It's because you can't turn on a supply of skilled/apprenticed job overnight. You knew that.

But it's great that opportunities are opening up for young people. I'm sure you'll agree...or would you go back to the old model of importing cheap labour?

We are trying to import this do called ‘cheap labour’ to get us out of the current shit show"

"considering the message that was pressed by leave campaigners that the benefits to brexit would be instant, then it's fair to judge wether that is presently the case.

There will be no downsides to Brexit, apparently. Now we are being told it will be a decade before we see any benefits, worrying who told you it will be a decade ? If it’s so worrying tell us how your life as dramatically changed then ?

Problems getting fuel

Delays and extra costs for a number of deliveries from the EU

Massive queues at the airport when i went to Barcelona , (no queuing for EU travellers )

Nothing life changing, nothing I can’t cope with, now how has your life improved? Or, how will your life improve ? well we all just come back from Spain no queues at all either way so no change there same with fuel my life asnt altered a jot did t think it would like I said it’s not been even a year mate

Your avoiding my question, what are you ‘hoping ‘ for? the same question you’ve been asking for years ya mean ? I’m hopping the U.K. does well for itself outside the eu

Based on what? Hope?are you happy with the way things are going? isn’t hope what we vote for in a GE no not happy at all but the chaos has been brought on through poor planning by the government but I’m hoping that these problems will be ironed out soon I’m just not a fan of been a member of a club that’s almost impossible to leave a club where you need all 27 members to vote the same to do anything of meaning a club where some members take out more than they put in it’s not just the U.K. Ireland need two referendums pol are unhappy in Germany France Spain Italy Portugal that’s why the eu are petrified of others having the vote or the U.K. doing well

The EU has loads of faults, and will have to change dramatically but it is highly unlikely anyone else will leave now they have seen the clusterfuck we have made. I get the impression that some leave voters will only be content if the EU fails, why is that? At the end of the day if your happy with the way it is going then that’s all that matters, ok so you can’t read that’s fine I’ll say it again pls pay attention I’m not happy read my reply’s iv never said I want the eu to fail why would anyone want that and I think your wrong I think there’s lots of ppl looking at the U.K. to see how we do and I don’t think they will be making there minds up just yet change is inevitable that’s just life I get it some ppl struggle with change and then some embrace it "

We are the laughing stock of Europe, it’s sad to see ,

"Is it a coincidence that the rise in reality TV and shows like x factor that the numbers of kids wanting to go into trades and traditional trades has dropped.

Plus lots of uni courses now with bachelor of art degrees! "

More and more younger folk dreaming of fame and fortune via reality TV when they ain't spending all their time on line or playing playstations.

Decline in traditional roles as more and more people go to 3rd level education.

How many young fellas nowadays dream of being a train driver!!

How long does it take to train as a butcher?

Train as a HGV driver

To train to pick fruit

To work in hospitality (chefs, cleaners, barman, etc etc)

If the ‘young ‘ people of Britain are going to fill these roles what are they currently doing instead ?

And yet wages are increasing and unemployment is falling in the UK, more so than in the EU.

We are now leaving behind the EU's high unemployment/cheap labour model. Why won't you condemn that model?

meaningful craft based apprenticeships have been few since the inception of the YOP and YTS schemes of the mid 80's. there is a 40 year void to fill which is possibly insurmountable. bad employers who fail to train people will just look at automation models as an alternative to five years of training aprentices.

unemployment or economic inactivity is increasing while out of work benefit claims are decreasing with benefit sanctions increasing. inflation is outstripping wage increases by an exponential factor. it's currently a very grim economic outlook

Why won’t you endorse an increase in the minimum wage. If you increased this then ‘cheap labour’ wouldn’t exist, basic economics, it forces employers to pay decent rates, why won’t you endorse this ?

No, we have ‘partially’ left the EU and I doubt we will ever fully return . I suppose it’s a bit like those people who couldn’t move on from the UK joining the EU, they tended to _oan , whine and whinge about the EU

I'm not saying there is a shortage of train drivers I'm just making the point that younger people are not tending to be interested in traditional roles.

I know guys working in London earning 35 pound an hour as shuttering carpenters, they fly in and out from Ireland on a bi weekly basis having a long weekend every fortnight.

Huge need for construction workers is keeping the rates up

Ireland also has a labour shortage in most industries and many companies are actively recruiting in other countries.

We can't blame brexit though cos we in the EU.

Our problem is the same as UK as with younger generations not being interested in traditional roles and foreign workers being put off by the high cost of living here

I don’t want to rejoin, that won’t happen, you need to accept that we being ridiculed on a daily basis in the EU, in the same way the EU ‘was’ ridiculed in the UK. I have started wearing a ‘I didn’t vote for Brexit ‘ badge when I travel to the EU, to help heal my shame

Why does Ireland amongst other EU countries have a labour shortage and why are the same issue in the UK blamed on Brexit?

If unemployment was high in UK and economy stagnant then brexit be blamed also?

Ireland also has a labour shortage in most industries and many companies are actively recruiting in other countries.

We can't blame brexit though cos we in the EU.

Our problem is the same as UK as with younger generations not being interested in traditional roles and foreign workers being put off by the high cost of living here"

You have a far larger work force to choose from though, EU workers will choose working in Ireland over working in the UK

Princes Risborough, Luasanne, Alderney

considering people being interviewed by andrew marr is usually akin to being savaged by a dead sheep, it was very interesting indeed to see marr hand johnsons arse to him on johnsons useless performance as PM and tear johnson a new arsehole on his proposed policies that are underpinning the tory conference. johnsons usual blathering foppishness in response was alltogether really very pathetic.

"considering the message that was pressed by leave campaigners that the benefits to brexit would be instant, then it's fair to judge wether that is presently the case.

There will be no downsides to Brexit, apparently. Now we are being told it will be a decade before we see any benefits, worrying who told you it will be a decade ? If it’s so worrying tell us how your life as dramatically changed then ?

Problems getting fuel

Delays and extra costs for a number of deliveries from the EU

Massive queues at the airport when i went to Barcelona , (no queuing for EU travellers )

Nothing life changing, nothing I can’t cope with, now how has your life improved? Or, how will your life improve ? well we all just come back from Spain no queues at all either way so no change there same with fuel my life asnt altered a jot did t think it would like I said it’s not been even a year mate

Your avoiding my question, what are you ‘hoping ‘ for? the same question you’ve been asking for years ya mean ? I’m hopping the U.K. does well for itself outside the eu

Based on what? Hope?are you happy with the way things are going? isn’t hope what we vote for in a GE no not happy at all but the chaos has been brought on through poor planning by the government but I’m hoping that these problems will be ironed out soon I’m just not a fan of been a member of a club that’s almost impossible to leave a club where you need all 27 members to vote the same to do anything of meaning a club where some members take out more than they put in it’s not just the U.K. Ireland need two referendums pol are unhappy in Germany France Spain Italy Portugal that’s why the eu are petrified of others having the vote or the U.K. doing well

On the driver shortage I would add on final comment.

It seems to be Europe wide (also Canada)

The cost of getting your licence in Ireland is now abhorrent esp when you include the cost of cpc course which then have to be renewed on a yearly basis. Add to this the cost of insuring drivers under 25!

Any wonder younger people don't want to shell out the guts of 5k to pay for lessons tests and cpc course only to be told companies generally don't hire drivers below 25 years of age and when they do they can look forward to long days away from home for 15 or 16 euro an hour!

We don't know! Eastern European Labour has dried up due to good money on offer closer to home in Germany Holland and France and improving economic conditions in Poland.

As for the UK you guys have a population of approximately 60m compared to our approx 5m

Yeah but they ain't coming!

Crazy cost of living here even in smaller towns puts people off.

Same reason why people can't afford to move to UK cities-price of accommodation.

With circa 60m people the UK should have a pretty big pool of workers but why not?

Any time I've been to UK the amount of dossers I've seen hanging around witherspoons during the day and on street corners is staggering. And all these people you see out protesting various causes like the isulate crowd.

In Ireland when things were bad the UK was always a place of employment in agriculture and construction as it was always felt and said here that most people in England didn't have the appetite for that kind of work!

Because they save up and retire. Is that so bad?

The Spanish in the other hand move to the UK to escape mass unemployment and terrible employers. Spain, of course, is in the EU

Why shouldn't I? I suspect the fact that you even ask the question shows how you failed to understand the Brexit debate

There are far more British people living in span than Spanish people living in Britain, why is that?

Because they save up and retire. Is that so bad?

The Spanish in the other hand move to the UK to escape mass unemployment and terrible employers. Spain, of course, is in the EU "

They don’t though, only 185,000, are you working in Spain? Far more British people visit Spain every year than Spanish people visit Britain,

"considering the message that was pressed by leave campaigners that the benefits to brexit would be instant, then it's fair to judge wether that is presently the case.

There will be no downsides to Brexit, apparently. Now we are being told it will be a decade before we see any benefits, worrying who told you it will be a decade ? If it’s so worrying tell us how your life as dramatically changed then ?

A town near you


"https://www.rte.ie/radio/doconone/2009/0701/646158-jadotoville

Why does Ireland amongst other EU countries have a labour shortage and why are the same issue in the UK blamed on Brexit?

If unemployment was high in UK and economy stagnant then brexit be blamed also?

Where are you going to recruit these workers from?

We don't know! Eastern European Labour has dried up due to good money on offer closer to home in Germany Holland and France and improving economic conditions in Poland.

As for the UK you guys have a population of approximately 60m compared to our approx 5m

You have the option of freely recruiting from the EU, population of 447 million

Yeah but they ain't coming!

Crazy cost of living here even in smaller towns puts people off.

Same reason why people can't afford to move to UK cities-price of accommodation.

With circa 60m people the UK should have a pretty big pool of workers but why not?

Any time I've been to UK the amount of dossers I've seen hanging around witherspoons during the day and on street corners is staggering. And all these people you see out protesting various causes like the isulate crowd.

In Ireland when things were bad the UK was always a place of employment in agriculture and construction as it was always felt and said here that most people in England didn't have the appetite for that kind of work!

Do they have ‘dossers ‘ in Ireland? "

Quite a few unfortunately

if the tory party aren't seen to be very publically removing johnson it will quite possibly push them towards unelectability if the economic climate worsens, which it shows every sign of doing.

"considering people being interviewed by andrew marr is usually akin to being savaged by a dead sheep, it was very interesting indeed to see marr hand johnsons arse to him on johnsons useless performance as PM and tear johnson a new arsehole on his proposed policies that are underpinning the tory conference. johnsons usual blathering foppishness in response was alltogether really very pathetic.

It was embarrassing, I think there will be a marked sea change in the way the press deal with Boris, his days are numbered you’ve been saying that since he got in bud you also Saadi he’d be out by now and if your ashamed why don’t you want to rejoin the badge was funny I’ll give ya that but your starting to sound a bit like _oo hot now be careful lol

Yes I did, and I could be proven to be wrong, again, but at least I made a prediction. The badge was made in the UK, so not all bad I made a prediction aswell that he won’t jump his ego won’t allow that it’s bigger that his fucking head glad your badge was made in the U.K. that must of been a lump in your throat lol

Nah, support local businesses, your probably right, he might not resign but things are quickly moving against him. "

i hope your right he’s served his purpose BREXIT

"considering the message that was pressed by leave campaigners that the benefits to brexit would be instant, then it's fair to judge wether that is presently the case.

There will be no downsides to Brexit, apparently. Now we are being told it will be a decade before we see any benefits, worrying who told you it will be a decade ? If it’s so worrying tell us how your life as dramatically changed then ?

Problems getting fuel

Delays and extra costs for a number of deliveries from the EU

Massive queues at the airport when i went to Barcelona , (no queuing for EU travellers )

Nothing life changing, nothing I can’t cope with, now how has your life improved? Or, how will your life improve ? "

What happened to the italian lakes? try Greece next time sailed though customs and even got a stamp in my shiny new blue passport.

"It's great to see such good opportunities for young people.

The EU flooded our labour market with cheap labour so bad bosses didn't employ or train UK staff.

Brexit means they now have to pay more and provide proper career structures.

We are now transitioning away from the EU cheap labour model and I'm really pleased that young people are now in a stronger position vis-a-vis employers

Why are we creating all these temporary visas? Why aren’t the young people of Britain doing these jobs?

It's because you can't turn on a supply of skilled/apprenticed job overnight. You knew that.

But it's great that opportunities are opening up for young people. I'm sure you'll agree...or would you go back to the old model of importing cheap labour?"

The referendum was in 2016. I would say 5 years is plenty of time to prepare and revise further education, vocational training and apprenticeships to ensure we had a British workforce ready.

Brexit is a complete clusterfuck built on shifting sands.

due to covid, flights to and from italy are 32% lower than in 2019 and currently falling. transiting through the airports has been made quicker due to the far fewer number of people arriving and departing. this is broadly in line with what's happening across europe as a whole.

just as I thought no queues due to brexit and if any it’s down to all the checks due to covid

when covid has ceased to affect air travel in such a way that transiting airports is fairly quick, border control chaos caused by brexit will doubtless ensue very swiftly indeed.

Have you written to the Zambian president yet? Tell him your idea and then people could swap their ox-carts for Ford Fiestas.

In fact, he could legislate to increase a min wage even more...and everyone in Zambia could drive round in Teslas!

I bet he never knew how easy it is to create wealth ??

It's making a point that wealth is not created by legislative fiat.

If it was then the poorest countries in the world would suddenly be the richest.

It's very basic economics but you refuse to address it by pretending not to know whether Zambia has a min wage

why was that a condition of brexit no foreign holidays? because i like Greece and the Greek people and as they are in such a shit state decided to to my bit to help them pay a little bit of the interest they owe the eu for bailout loans.

I think the uncomfortable reality is that wage increase leads to inflation. That combined with the devaluing of the £ that has happened since Brexit and due to Quantitive Easing means any net benefit of wage increases will be wiped out anyway!

I think the uncomfortable reality is that wage increase leads to inflation. That combined with the devaluing of the £ that has happened since Brexit and due to Quantitive Easing means any net benefit of wage increases will be wiped out anyway!"

Pound devaluing happened in the aftermath of brexit vote and it is back to pre-brexit levels now.

"It's great to see such good opportunities for young people.

The EU flooded our labour market with cheap labour so bad bosses didn't employ or train UK staff.

Brexit means they now have to pay more and provide proper career structures.

We are now transitioning away from the EU cheap labour model and I'm really pleased that young people are now in a stronger position vis-a-vis employers

Why are we creating all these temporary visas? Why aren’t the young people of Britain doing these jobs?

It's because you can't turn on a supply of skilled/apprenticed job overnight. You knew that.

But it's great that opportunities are opening up for young people. I'm sure you'll agree...or would you go back to the old model of importing cheap labour?

The referendum was in 2016. I would say 5 years is plenty of time to prepare and revise further education, vocational training and apprenticeships to ensure we had a British workforce ready.

I like you optimism...

“it remains debatable whether the pound can regain its pre-Brexit strength in the long run. Indeed, the very nature of Brexit itself could consign the sterling to pre-$1.40 levels for quite some time, with Bank of England interest-rate setter Michael Saunders recently stating that the long-term effects of the UK’s departure from the European Union are likely to have a bigger impact on companies than the coronavirus pandemic. “Businesses will shake off the effect of COVID-19 as they’re temporary, but the long-term effects of Brexit could be more permanent,” Saunders said during an interview with TheBusinessDesk.com website in November 2020.”

We can always import our turkeys and pigs in blankets this year. It can be part of a fabulous new trade deal.

The UK producers should have planned for the problems that they were promised wouldn't happen.

I was just wondering while watching the news how many apprentice butchers these producers took on if any in the years it took to get brexit done.The old adage fail to prepare,prepare to fail comes to mind.

And therein lies the current problem. A brexiteer semi-acknowledges that brexit is the reason but in the same sentence blames something other than brexit.

The RLC are currently sorting out the petrol crisis although brexaholics deny there is a problem. The RLC also supply the Army's chefs so presumably they will be retrained as butchers to save Christmas...

i think you find it was well reported their would be a shortage of farm labourers and labourers for meat production if these people left the uk, its no surprise and the government said they would give work visas to people that the uk needs after brexit did you not understand that bit when you voted?

As for tanker drivers i have said before there was a shortage with minimum disruption before the leak that bp had 6 out of 1200 garages shut at any one time because of lack of drivers.This is what caused the panic buying and the current chaos nothing else.

I think if the majority of people who voted for brexit had actually understood what they were voting for we wouldn't need to change our bumper stickers

For years companies have failed to invest in the youth of the uk with apprenticeships and training instead it was so much easier to import cheap labour from the eu and maximise profits.

Now maybe they will see the benefit of training the youth of today just like companies did before free movement and the kids of the future will have worthwhile job opportunities when they finish education.

As the nations kids upskill and get better educated in order to do higher skilled jobs and get paid more.

Who is going to be doing the menial jobs that they never wanted to do anyway?

We need waiters, waitresses, fruit pickers, warehouse workers, cleaners, etc etc - these are jobs in large sectors of the economy and they can’t just disappear.

Perhaps we should import cheap labour to do these jobs when the local kids are are far to well educated and skilled to do then?

That is exactly what the visa scheme is designed for, it still amazes me that people still do not understand what they voted against.
