      How bright can they be if they can be replaced with low-skilled migrants?
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        bright enough that they can see the flaw in your argument.

          I'll be meeting them later in the pub
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            I didn't think I was making an argument. But then again, like everyone who's chosen to remain in the UK, I can't be very bright.

                  Disgraceful! Can't we just send our convicts to Australia and get skilled workers in return?
                  <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!

                    The most qualified are generally the most mobile....

                    Which begs the question: what proportion of immigrants to the UK are better qualified than the average Brit (quite a large proportion, I expect, despite some of the rags focusing on low-skilled immigration)?
