Yes that's true Oldie, but employers get around it by for example, not paying travel time which they should but they don't and live in care work where the client gets up every night. Yes, not sure about travel time. Most of us don't get paid for our commute to work. But once "clocked on" travel between locations is paid? I actually don't know the answer to that. On live in, I heard that carers get paid an 8 hour shift regardless of the time spent with the client. That needs dealing with through employment law. Travel time between calls isn't paid by a lot of care firms even though they should. A lot of hot air is talked but nothing gets done except by a few. Most carers are not in it for the money, they want to help Fred etc so they just carry on. The migrants happily do it because it's better than what they are used to at home. I used to work with a smashing Polish fella who earnt £5 a day at home so live in care to him was like winning the lottery. £1k every month all found best part of £6k to take home every six months imagine what you could do with that in the homeland? The point is Britons were paid £1k per WEEK fifteen years ago for the same job so that's the impact migrants have had on low paid British workers wages. Therefore not difficult to see why Brexit was appealing.

I caught a piece on Radio 5Live earlier, they interviewed someone involved in the music industry. She was saying that the immigration proposals will have an effect on the creative arts industry which brings in £110bn to the UK economy.
The issue is freedom of movement. Many up and coming artists from the continent visit small venues here but more critical is that many new UK artists play in Europe and make most of their money playing gigs there.
Her view is that by treating EU artists the same as say, US artists, it will be reciprocated and prevent the ease to which new UK bands can work in Europe and therefore strangle new talent.

The trade positions are starting to be published. "The government has estimated a post-Brexit trade deal with the United States would boost the UK economy by 0.16% over the next 15 years. The UK government said a US deal should seek to lower import taxes, or tariffs, on many UK exports - and increase trade in services. It says an agreement would increase the UK's gross domestic product (GDP) by between 0.07% and 0.16%, depending on the exact terms of the deal. The estimate is based on a model developed by the government in November 2018 when it predicted various post-Brexit scenarios. That model estimated that UK GDP would fall by 7.6% over 15 years if the government failed to reach a trade deal with the EU." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-51706802@lewis_goodall Govt figures, over the long term: US deal: GDP growth 0.16% Canada style deal with EU: GDP growth 4.9-6.7% down No deal with EU: GDP growth 7.7- 9.3% down

Remember when the Electoral Commission reported Aaron Banks to the National Crime Agency (NCA). All their claims about him receiving money from Russia etc etc. The judgement was delivered today, and guess what. The NCA didn't find a single piece of evidence against him. The Electoral Commission did not have a single piece of evidence against him. The case was dismissed. The link is a good read and I don't expect to see this being carried in much of the media. This case was a politically motivated attack by the Electoral Commission. Order-Order

Are you saying allegations cannot be made, and then in the next sentence making your own allegations against the electoral commission?

Playing devils advocate,if the allegations are malicious without evidence ie:a bit of kite flying then it's a waste of police time,personally I would rather they spent their resources investigating crimes that have a good chance of coming to court rather than something that has no legs.
