I worry more about the loaded answers.
For example, I don't think the relationship between work and the wages it pays is quite as simple as it's being in direct proportion to the size of the available pool of workers. Nor do I think think it anywhere near the top of the list that people who aren't working are doing so because they're bone idle. But I did have a very strong hunch that the moment Brexit was in the bag, welfare would be the next target ;) Your hunch is correct. |

I don't know what taste has to do with it, but what do you know about Mallorca?

Re: Post EU Referendum
Today I learned that the Balearic Islands are composed entirely of tourist hotspots. Entirely.

Possibly. It may be that they just don't want to work.
Your hunch is correct. But if people don't want to work, I reserve the right to opine that I don't want to pay them. |

Ahh, Magaluf. OK, so as I suspected, you know very little.
Is Magaluf where you live? |

Oh, I remember, inebriated, fat-arsed horribly sunburned people at beach bars in tacky union jack speedos, moaning that the foreign help are too lazy to learn or speak proper English (amongst other things). Sangria in buckets, beer by the liter and bratwurst on every corner. Mallorca's main beach is a boozy colony of German budget tourists. But plans are afoot to turn it into a luxury resort for rich visitors from China and Dubai. Alarm bells are ringing in Germany. They call it the "Ballermann" The Ballermann is to Germans what the Spanish mainland resort of Benidorm is to the British, only more so, because it's so exclusively Teutonic. Mallorca to Upgrade Beach in Blow to German Budget Tourists - SPIEGEL ONLINE But you never see this, do you? After all, you only live there. So how about giving it a rest with your anti-British comments? |

What particular skills do those 19 companies need that can only be fulfilled by migrant labour?

Is Magaluf where you live? Nobody lives in Magaluf. It's a purpose-built 3star-ish British resort. Open May to October. Otherwise, boarded up ghost town. It's the only solely British "resort", aside from a couple of the usual British all inclusive places. Oh, speaking of that, I heard on the radio today that Mallorca has banned British all-in for 2018, so maybe those resorts will switch back to self-catering to attract a more sophisticated clientele. Anyway, here's Magaluf and the pride of 'er maj. Luckily, it's contained to those 2 square kilometers... |
