You said their country is poor, mine is rich, they'd like to come here but I wouldn't liek to go there so **** this partnership and don't let them do that. Sounds a lot like the classic "I've got mine so **** you" to me tbh
The history of your country is relevant because it's the only thing that's made the UK the place immigrants want to be in, instead of the shoe being on the other foot. Britain as a country made itself what it is by oppressing the everliving **** out of MOST of the rest of the world, and now some of those countries want to live in the UK so they can get a livable wage and you wanna cry foul?
How are these immigrants surviving in the same place as british workers on wages that apparently the brits couldn't live on? I absolutely can't understand that given they have to pay the same taxes, the same amount for food at shops, etc. As far as I'm aware, there's no special payout for being a person from another country.
Also assuming these immigrants were earning *even less* in their home country, how were they meant to survive there? Or does it only matter when the "poor blue collar workers" in question are british by birth? Also, does the UK not have a minimum wage set?
And yes, you're absolutely welcome to try and undercut me over here, it doesn't bother me whatsoever
there are plenty of people queuing up to do my job for 30k less than me already let alone 10. "boo hoo someone will do it for less than me" is what the free market is about, the exception being that we do limit this via govt intervention to avoid exploitation of poorer working class (i.e we have a livable minimum wage).
Our backwards *** govt is "liberal" only in name, they're actually our most conservative major party. Back in the day they campaigned on "stop the boats", the PM was basically our version of farage.
Guess who backs this party? Old cunts with the same mentality as what I described in my first paragraph. Australia is mostly made up of old people, it's also why we elected a govt that says coal is great, climate change is nonsense, and who needs good internet.
This coming election next month is one of the most polarized in the history of our country where the demographics being targeted are clearly split between old vs young.
