Nigel Farage on immigration: 'The days of employing cheap labour are finished'

Nigel Farage praises the UK government's newly-announced points-based system, which will deny visas to ‘low-skilled’ workers starting in 2021.
The former MEP and Brexit Party leader called concerns about the impact on the care sector ‘scare stories’.
Weighing in on Greece's demand for the return of the Elgin Marbles as part a post-Brexit trade deal, he says they would have probably been destroyed if the UK hadn't looked after them.

@@adrianceasar5620 most of the industries that can move has either already moved, or turned to automation. Most of what's left are jobs that can't move. A delivery driver can't be moved to China. How is he gonna deliver something in Birmingham if he's in China? Drivers, retail clerks, hairstylists, bartender, bank manager, lawyer, doctors. Most jobs can't move overseas. Some can be automated.

[@SoundofGugu]

Twisted British people don’t want dole heads coming for a free ride and it’s the low expectations of immigrants happy to share properties to cope with low wages that cause the hourly rate to drop. It’s not that British people don’t like foreigners, it’s that British people don’t like the attitude of immigrants willing to accept low wages and thus making British people look bad for wanting adequate wages. Stop making British people the enemy and start refusing to take low paid jobs to make the British look bad... it’s not working

[@cnrbsmth]

Yes 10 countries joined the EU in 2004 but the 14 countries that were already in the union had a choice whether or not to allow the citizens of the 10 new countries to live and work in their country and only 3 out of the 14 did allow them in and the UK was one of those three.

[@simonmitchell1128]

And our country benefitted massively from the influx of skilled workers and young professionals who came to the UK, set up business or studied here at UK universities and then continued to fulfil their ambitions, pay their taxes and start lives/families here (I know many in their late twenties/early thirties). Of course the double-edged sword was that it allowed in cheaper, unskilled labour, but the reality is, this is a drop in the ocean compared to the value of the educated and ambitious, who came from countries especially in the East of Europe, where it's simply harder to start a successful life given the layers of beaurocracy, workers rights, and well acknowledged corruption. There is a massive brain drain in the east, and the UK took full advantage of that, all it does is pay the small fee of £350m a week to receive an entire cohort of young, readymade and educated people - the value which far exceeded the cost. But we voted against that, in part a resistance to the inevitability of change, a belief that we can somehow preserve a culture of people (which in itself is plural and contradictory) against a massive tide of growing interconnectivity - which in the most ironic way will continue, just under a different guise. My deepest sympathies lie with those whose lives won't really change for the better at all.

There’s nothing stopping ‘our’ people from rising to the top of the tin, in fact I’d say most of the people at the top of the so called tin, are successful British figures, and same goes for most of the wealthy, which is great, there is still work to be done, but it shouldn’t be about prioritising on the basis of nationality.

Yes I absolutely think we should prioritise the wages of our working class over corporations who want cheap labour, and the neverending flow of low-skilled workers seeking a better life. Our working class are the people who voted for this government and the mandate is owed to them, not the entire world's poor. The UK is a service based economy and there are only so many low-skill jobs available.

There aren't enough care workers because so many people from 2nd and 3rd world countries came over here to do the unskilled jobs which drove down the wages way below minimum wage..

@@dicerevo of course but immigrants aren't going to say anything or they'll just get sacked. Also, many immigrants lie about their age so will be paid less anyway. Companies can even claim that employees are apprentices which can reduce the minimum wage to £3.90 an hour. Employers of jobs that accrue monetary tips like waitresses can claim that their average expected tips make their wages up to the minimum. There are loads of loopholes and companies that employ cheap labour from outside the UK tend to use these tricks to pay less.
