Nice little snide Emily Thornberry comment from you.
It's obvious that you know diddly squat about what's going on in the black economy.

OH petra , you are so very rude. I am not remotely interested in Emily. I am not a naive fool. Of course I know there are many many layers of life going on right under my nose.

I said I have never been negatively affected by migration.

Totally agree.
My memory goes back to the early 2000s when companies were using the European working directive.
One company that took advantage of this was Irish Ferries!!!

I have never had a problem with migration or migrants.
Well, me neither, personally, but I do know of several people in this town who lost their jobs as a result of 'restructuring' when workers were brought in from Eastern Europe under Tony's Blair's active migration policy.
I also know someone whose job was actively recruiting in Eastern Europe during that time; she was a civil servant, not working for a recruitment firm.

So I can understand why some people may have voted as they did.

I have never had a problem with migration or migrants

But years ago most UK parties agreed there WAS a problem and made immigration part of their manifestos for fear of losing votes. An open door immigration policy is foolhardy at best, and completely disastrous at worst and the public had to be reassured that whoever governed would create an immigration policy which benefited the UK

The open door policy is at fault, not the people, and all over Europe people are making noises about it, like it or not.

I didn't say I agreed with an open door policy, I said I didn't have a problem with migration or migrants.

Thank you Jalima
Families affected by Blair’s ‘Open Doors’ policy probably did vote differently than those who weren’t.
Stands to reason.

Like " you've been horrible to me and taken my job , so I am going to vote for the opposition"?

Yet Manchester voted Remain, Urmstngran

Voters in just three Greater Manchester councils - Manchester (60.4 per cent), Trafford (57.7pc) and Stockport (52.3pc) - voted to remain, with voters in the other seven local authorities opting to leave.

Wigan, Tameside and Oldham at 63.9pc, 61pc and 60.9pc respectively topped the leave votes.

The results meant Greater Manchester had the strongest remain vote in the north west, but voters in the majority of councils voted to leave the EU in line with the national picture.
