Re: Post-Brexit Thread
I don't think many have a problem with contributing immigration as we all recognise the benefits in that it's the low skilled and illegal immigration that's the problem. I'd like to see a continuation of skilled immigration running parallel with a proper mid to high skill adult training in the UK so that we give unemployed people here the opportunity to obtain meaningful employment. Also for those unemployed who will not accept training be told that take any position available within six months or lose benefits.
For the vast majority of unemployed the chance to retrain for a skill we have a shortage of would be snapped up and for that very small minority who will not work by choice we need to remove choice from the options. I never thought I'd support something like that but over the last few months I've heard numerous younger people talking about how benefits are enough for them and they prefer no work and benefits over taking a job. I'm not saying it's widespread and I'm only talking about 15-20 but to be young fully fit and choosing not to work is a waste of their lives as well as something we cannot afford or allow as a society.
