I just wanted to say a massive thank you to each and every one of the 1.3 million people (net) that made the UK their new home over the last five years.
Without their incredible work ethic and willingness to work for the minimum wage - sometimes less if they weren't quite legit (if you know what I mean!) - my business would not have survived.
We make marketing materials and our clients tend to be multinationals with multi-billion net profits (soft drinks, fast food etc).
We don't work direct of course; a larger agency gives us work, and my margins are wafer thin (sugar and water must be more expensive than I think!), but my business has continued to deliver a high quality product at rock bottom prices to these large, important companies because of the "pro-business" immigration policies of successive UK governments.
I don't want to sound racist, but British kids just don't have what it takes. Life's tough, and if that means moving to London and bunking up eight to a flat, then that's just what they have to do.
And what with the government announcing a cap on what I have to pay my employees (£9/hr in 2020), the outlook continues to look great. I mean £9/hr is a lot of money, but we should be seeing the effects of all that money printing ("quantitative easing") by then (inflation!), so it should all turn out just fine.
