I did as instructed and read the article. It is just a story with an abrupt ending. There are no figures for what they were paid, what they sent home to their families. Why they continued to do it. It is a puff piece. |

I voted Labour, but thanks for the well constructed response. The conditions appeared poor, there were lots of illegal practices. Laws that were being flouted. In the EU or out those things happen. It is for the authorities to deal with them. |

Mobility is good in that it allows people to make the best use of their skills and knowledge, rather than just trying to do whatever job happens to be available locally. On the social side, it also helps people to meet more different people, become more aware of other types and cultures (depending on the degree of mobility) and overcome their ignorance and prejudice. Even the humble bicycle played a significant role in the UK's social and economic development, making it much easier for ordinary people to travel far great distances than they could on foot. It saddens me greatly when people argue that if you're born in Cleethorpes, you should know your place and stay in Cleethorpes, ditto Kensington, and woe betide anyone who suggests that maybe someone from the one place might go and live in the other, even temporarily let alone permanently (shudder). It's socially and economically backward and divisive, and ignorant of history. We don't progress by staying in our own personal backwaters. |

That’s an argument in favour of mobility. Do you think these benefits are being enjoyed by those working at the hotel who are being exploited by their employer?

As has already been said, that employer (and I read the article this morning before you posted it) was behaving in ways that are against the law. That's not the fault of the EU. And I also agree with jda. Neither my husband nor I live in the place in which we were raised, and we are both much the richer for it. I know this is anecdata. |
