I have nothing but contempt for those individuals being nasty to foreign workers, but the government can't do very much about them that they haven't already done.

Presumably, and I see nothing wrong with that.
My parents emigrated to Australia in the 1970s, but my father had to demonstrate first that he had the skills that they needed.
Perfectly reasonable in my book.

Oh, I agree with you and the company I work in has been proactive at sharing information at every level up to and including our CEO and country lead stating that EU employees are wanted and will be supported by the company. I am not sure what more they can do to allay the fears of these employees. I have also seen the governments advice to employers and it looks good. That said, many in my company have doubts despite all that has been done.
As an aside, you mentioned skills shortages. When I run the country, I would annually assess a 10 year skills plan and pay the tuition fees for any university course that addresses those needs. Short of doctors? How about free tuition? Not Brexit related, but a fun idea
