The top five tech companies on their own avoided an estimated £1.3 billion in tax in 2018. Some of who fortunes have improved specifically from the pandemic. Close the loopholes to just them 5 companies and cancel the NI 10% hike. Also worth pointing out that the UK through it’s overseas...

About sums the situation up

Which is there choice. You have no right to dictate that someone should train to do a job that A) you wouldn’t and B) will most likely give you PTSD just because they’re unemployed.

Pre brexit the meat processing industry had a skills shortage of about 10%, post brexit it’s 15%. Like I said brexit exacerbated it.

You do understand that the issues can be more than one. You do understand that EU membership contained things like minimum standards and recognition of skills across the block. Even then because of freedom of movement it doesn’t mean that someone had to arrive as a licensed slaughter man/woman...

Which is a choice literally no one in the country faces so it’s nonsense.

Actually you wouldn’t. There’s a gazillion jobs you could do before you have to entertain qualifying to do a job that’s going to give you mental health issues. You’re exaggerating.

You do know that you have to be personally licensed to slaughter animals? You can’t just walk in of the street with a machete and get a job. Butchering is a full apprenticeship.

There’s a massive skills shortage in the meat industry. Even before the B word but the B word has exacerbated it. It’s a skill and a qualification to be a slaughterman or butcher. People don’t want to do it and who can blame them, slaughterhouse workers suffer from the very real problem of PTSD...

You still said it though. And that led onto your second lazy trope. You don’t have to be unemployed to claim benefits. IIRC about 30% of people claiming benefits are in work.

You were never in. ill thought out lazy tropes is all you have.

So that’s all you took from that post. Sounds like you’re selectively reading to pick an argument. What about the required skills I mention. Unless you’re also going down the route of all unemployed people in Norfolk posses the required skills and qualifications to slaughter and butcher animals.

2 things. What’s being vegan got to with it? Plenty of meat eaters wouldn’t entertain killing the animals they eat. Secondly, you’re also deliberately missing the main point. Are you seriously suggesting that everyone in Norfolk currently unemployed has the necessary qualifications and skills...

Struggling?

Got to laugh at the £15.00 an hour heckles. By the next GE the labour shortage will probably ensure £15.00 isn’t high enough.

The turkey industry needs skilled workers to slaughter and butcher turkeys. For an apparent animal lover you’re also steam rollering the fact that not a lot of people don’t want to work in an industry where they kill and butcher animals. Even amongst the people who consume the end product.

How am I telling the wrong person? The only reason we’re having this conversation this morning is because you decided to bring it up in the first place and deliberately decided to name check me into your post. If you don’t want to talk to me about you could go a long way to stop that by leaving...

You’ll note that the people all over the brexit threads telling remainers that they are wrong aren’t all over them gloating about the benefits. And before someone suggests that maybe leavers have more humility than to gloat I’m going to call bollocks on that in advance. You’re talking about a...

It’s massively bigger than elsewhere and the fact is that the one part of the UK we left in the single market (Northern Ireland) isn’t having the same issues the rest of the UK is having. Even the backlog at the DVLA has been exacerbated by the Tories, they defunded the DVLA, they closed 32...
