Immigration and Asylum (2 Viewers)

Major Tom said:

Looking forward - Having worked in technology the biggest threat to working class people is not immigration or if someone wants to dress up as a woman, it's the rapid implementation of AI and the shedding of workforces across Britain. I have seen whole teams disappear in 18 months against an original timeframe of 3 years. The machine learning is frightening. This is only the start and with less people paying taxes or on lower pay there will be even less money to run the country with.

Great post. The problem runs far deeper than 'stop the boats'. You could stop every single boat and very little would actually change.

We have zero plan for how to deal with ever increasing automation. We've ignored it until now and there's massive resistance to any attempt to change work patterns, just look at the response to WFH or the 4 day week.

We've got shit jobs, with poverty wages, that nobody wants that we fill with immigrants, or often illegals who will work for sub-minimum wage. At the same time we've got a ton of people leaving uni with meaningless degrees applying for hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs and getting nowhere.

This has been put off for years by inventing jobs that aren't really needed but the house of cards is close to collapsing with nobody, well nobody in a position to do anything, putting forward any sort of plan to deal with the situation.

What is the Green New Deal? - Green New Deal UK

The Green New Deal is our map to a future worth fighting for. It's the only response that fits the scale of the crises we're facing.

Epect it'll get LOL'd out the door, but a big part of why I liked Zara as an MP was how she got behind this.

If there's the will and money for HS2, there's the will and money for this somewhere. Could fix so much.
