      And there you have it, British business instead of using enhanced technology just hired cheap migrants.

      What a shock.

        Perhaps they realised that the robots were programmed using much cheapness on the subcontinent so steered clear?
        The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Between robots doing all the manual work, and 3D printers making everything, the UK can tell the EU to FO.

              We should start working on security, currently we really need the EU.
              1.Food Security - Grow our own food to remove the need to buy from abroad

              2.Energy Security - we have oil & biomass make it work for us.

              3. Labour - get robots in now and upskill.

              4. Skilled staff - offer reciprocal deals to individual countries to retain Higher rate tax payers. Training to replace lower paid and/or preferential visa status. Those on low pay or self supporting can apply for citizenship with reduced fees and qualifications.The unemployed / not able to sustain themselves & those with Criminal records can depart.

              5. Develop new Services we can sell abroad. If we need passporting we will pay dearly for it.

              6. Time to push UK PLC to produce real profits.

                  I'd welcome a robot that constantly spams the forums with pointless Brexit news links. At least we can turn that f***er off.

                    Wouldn't you like one that replies with "Have you asked your accountant?" or "AYSYCOTBAC?" ?
