You try telling that to the Filipino family whose breadwinner has just died because he couldn't get medical attention due to a chronic shortage of medical staff.
The Mirror? Seriously!?
I actually don't think this is true. If we were leaving the Euro then I would perhaps agree with you but the UK has a lot to offer in terms of innovation, high quality goods and it helps with us speaking english.
Iain, don't confuse immigration with unchecked immigration. If there is a shortage of workers in a particular area then these jobs can be filled in the same way as a non-EU migrant currently has to apply for residency.
So that would be an identified need....
I've personally never had problems with immigration; my reasons for wanting out of the EU are economic.
