I get that, makes total sense. But… if they are escaping war torn misery why do they continue to travel so dangerously once they are technically safe. We have the lowest benefits and one of the crudest systems for asylum seekers.
I guess everybody has a different idea of what is "safe". For me it would be somewhere I can understand the language, have relatives there already, or at least other people from my community or country. Or maybe they've had asylum claims rejected in other countries they've passed through. People arriving on small boats have usually been travelling for many months or even years before they arrive here.
I see on the X post you used that Goldman Sachs say it COULD go up.Does a better improvement to the UK economy, whatever way we get closer to the EU, not make it better all round for everyone? Win/win!

🚨 Goldman Sachs has put numbers on Brexit choices. Current Brexit deal: +0.3% GDP Customs union: +1% Single Market: up to +5% Full EU membership: up to +6% And Goldman estimates the UK economy is already around 6% smaller than its counterfactual path since the 2016 referendum.

Would they not have been subject to the individual countries health and safety regulations?Deary me. The much 'loved' EU and it's 'workers rights'......
Electrocutions, disease and no pay: how workers risk exploitation in Europe’s datacentres.
As thousands of datacentres are constructed across Europe, the Guardian and Investigate Europe have uncovered disturbing evidence that some workers building them are exposed to dangerous conditions and living in fear of speaking out.
But unions say the push for tech sovereignty in Europe is becoming increasingly reliant on the exploitation of migrant workers.
In dozens of interviews we found evidence of debilitating injuries, squalid living conditions, an unreported infectious outbreak, unpaid wages and exploitative employment practices.

The EU dont give any more of a shit about workers rights than anybody else but folk still want tae rejoin
The UK got more worker rights in the time we were members and since then they've been eroded. Go figure.
Looks like theyre being eroded in the EU. which workers rights were better in the EU? Is that the one that gave eastern europeans the right to come here and undercut british workers.?
Are you waiting for St Farage to rescue the rights of workers in the UK?
No it wasnt. And maybe the workers should get unionised again.Are you waiting for St Farage to rescue the rights of workers in the UK?
Workers rights are being eroded around the world. The UK was leading the race to the bottom after Brexit.
P&O Ferries was unionised but they can only protect jobs when legislation allows it. Brexit took away workers tights.
Just like Viking ferries did while the company was in the EU. Profit before workers rights.
It was perhaps after that event the EU tightened it's employment laws to stop it happening again for countries inside the EU. The P&O Ferries crews were not sacked while we were members.
Yep Jack I remember.
This is a case you repeatedly bring up. Are you saying that workers rights in Britain have improved sine Brexit?
Nope.
So maybe it's not the EU that's holding back workers rights?
Ask the Viking and Laval workers and see what they say maybe
Revolutionary change to what end though?
Right, like cuba?
