Optimism or Doom & Gloom

Recently on the news has been the story about the Honda plant in Swindon closing with a loss of 3500 jobs, a few months ago we read about Dyson moving its head office to Singapore. Much posts have been blaming this on the prospects of Brexit.  

Now I am a staunch remainer but even as a remainer I am getting pissed off at these false doom and gloom stories.

Now I do agree that the future looks kinda bleak for the motor manufacturing industry in the uk, especially with the pollution regulations against diesel and the strengthening Asian markets but remember most of this manufacturing is mechanised by machines and robotics for mass production and does not have a huge percentage of skilled workers, I know this is no relief to the 3500 who are due to lose their jobs but all the same it’s not the apocalypse it’s made out to be and hopefully these guys will find other work very soon once the plant closes. 

It recently been released that last year there has been 444000 new jobs created, unemployment has been at its lowest since 1975...this is a contrast to the treasury’s estimate that brexit will cost 500 000 jobs.

I still maintain my position as wishing to remain the the UK looking at the bigger picture but getting pissed at the scare stories and false news...and the left may claim these jobs are at the cost of greater insecurity and lower wages but in Britain only 2.6 percent are on zero hour contracts and research has shown that most employees have chosen this as not to be tied down. 

What is actually emerging is not a lack of jobs but a lack of workers and due to this higher demand for workers they can demand better working conditions and wages (not like what the left claim which would be more unions, organised labour and more government regulations) The UK is on course to have one of the highest minimum wages in the world.

Despite what we hear the naysayers moan about the British economy still is looking quite rosey. 

If only we could control more the wholesale mass immigration of primitive ideologies which incorporate Misogynistic beliefs and intolerance against others then we may have a really wonderful working wee island here ...but that’s topics I have covered in other posts.

i do welcome the decision of Sajid Javid denying the return of ISIS bride Shamima Begum into the UK but at this time it remains to be seen if this will be upheld and what about the 400 already in the UK who where across in Syria? Figures from 2017 show that there are 25 000 known Jihadis living in the UK and our security services only have the resource to watch the top 3000 of them.  Also take into consideration that none of these 3000 where involved in the past most recent 4 terrorist attacks on UK soil!!
