Britain did not have a drastic "skills shortage" in manufacturing when industry trained 16 year-olds through apprentice schemes.
why has this "skills shortage" coincided with the greatest ever number of workers coming to this country? Coincided with what is effectively an open-border policy? Is it because people are coming here to work for low wages in low skilled jobs and that employers want to drive down wages in skilled work even further: i.e. get a foreigner to work for less than £35K in what should be a job paying more than that.
yeah, don't sign this rubbish petition - how on earth is it going to help the young people of Britain here entering the workplace?
