There are always bad employers, more need to be done to crack down on them. This has been a failure of this government and the previoud one.
It's a failure of the mindset of employers imo - I've heard a previous one (in a hotel, mind) say "we'll just have to look for another foreigner then, what's the problem" because someone got fired for something fickle.

It's worse in warehouses, carehomes and so on and so on. Cheap labour brought this whole mindset on though...
I agree and care home employers seem to be amongst the very worst.
I've heard similar, hopefully it gets better for you guys...
 
But would the remain camp have agreed to a rerun if the positions had been reversed, I think not.
Probably not.

But then leaving the EU is meant to be disasterous and will ruin the country.

Won't happen I know but just saying if the vote was never meant to be lost then I can guarantee it was lost through misinformation rather than by choice.

Thanks. Unfortunately the media have whipped up hysteria about immigration and people have bought into it. It isn't a race to the bottom. Workers, regardless of where they are from, should be standing together against unscrupulous bosses and demanding fair pay and conditions for all. It's classic divide and conquer
 
I can't really disagree with this. Stay or leave was a big decision to make after a couple of months of information. Whatever the result would have been.

All I literally heard from the referendum was, from the remain campaign the world was going to end if we left, and from the leave campaign, the world was going to end if we stayed.
 
Reading your post it is clear where your cross went. So please tell us what has the EU done for us, What benefits have we got out of it but most importantly what could we expect in the next 5, 10, 15 years of membership???

I'm out at the moment but the net benefit of EU membership for Britain in 2015 was 4-5% of GDP, £62bn-£78bn per year at a cost of £8.5bn in net contributions.

Will answer in more detail later, but the benefits are far greater than the costs.
 
Whether you go on Facebook or in internet forums, it still seems that people are tearing eachother to shreds over this. I've seen some rather tasteless comments made between friends (well, what were friends). Accusations of being racist, bigoted, right-wing nazis (and they're some of the less colourful ones).

The way I see it, what's done is done. The electorate were asked to vote - and they voted. The result is the what the majority voted for. Deal with it.

What's important now is that we pull together as a country to make it work, not rip eachother apart (although that seems to be the current fashion - throw a tantrum on social media because things didn't go your way).
