And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
Too simplistic.
Uncontrolled "immigration" from the EU, unskilled/low-skilled migrants from war-torn areas not that good.
Highly skilled, wealthy and students good.
The evidence shows there is a small net economic benefit.
Torygraph contradicting itself
On an anecdotal note, when I was hiring in the City I found only one local who had the requisite quals and experience - otherwise my team consisted of French, German, one Indian.
I would guess if a draconian law came in saying only British nationals had to be employed, most City firms would have to decamp to a more open environment.Hard Brexit now!

In my team there is one Dutchman, one Brit (moi), one Indian, a German and now a young Argentinian graduate who was hired through the Italian office. I'm the only one without an engineering qualification.How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment
