THe upper middle class favour immigration

[MeouwCat]

The upper middle class favour immigration because the alternative would be paying locals more and that would men them paying higher taxes to support the wage demands by care workers/Nurses/council workers etc.

The upper middle people are far from liberal. They are literally gammon. Dress them in the right clothes and they’d fit right into the enough-is-enough herd.

So, OP, in this fictional world where you're working in a care home for £50k, are you hair to pay much higher prices for all of your goods and services so that all of the other unskilled and semiskilled workers can be paid £50k as well? And are you happy to pay taxes so that public sector workers also get their basic salary of £50k? Of course, the highly qualified roles like doctors will need to be paid much more to reflect their skills and qualifications.

Your purchasing power is unlikely to be any greater after everything is adjusted for, but at least the number on your annual P60 will look a bit better?

To be fair all the middle class people that I know live in very non- racially mixed country villages on the commuter belt around London or live in flats in the City with other young proffessionals who may be racially mixed but are generally fully integrated and University educated.
I do find that more educated people are very condescending towards the white working classes, it's Hilary's 'basket of deplorables' they are very jintolerant of anyone who does not think like them.

By increasing the charges and taxes on the upper middle class.

I dunno about 'favour' immigration per se, but I've found those that champion the most about multicultural areas do not actually live in multicultural areas. And they go to Glyndebourne, and Glastonbury, and drink at the rowing club. All very nice. All very white.

They certainly didn't seem to be so bothered about FoM post-2004, because downward wage spiral didn't concern them. They weren't factory workers, delivery drivers, tradesmen etc. Nope, far easier to just tar the natives as being lazy when a Bulgarian builder undercuts them to fit a lovely new kitchen.

So it's all going to be rather delicious when the march of AI starts gunning for the middle class jobs

"But but but how do we know AI is safe?"
"It needs to be regulated!"

Ah, so all of a sudden your industries need protecting? Funny that.

Oh let me guess Starmer and his clan are not upper middle liberals, they are working class aren't they 😂

Social care is largely provided by the private sector but they are paid by local authorities.

So if you are willing to pay more towards LAs then we'd be able to increase the wages of social care.

No, of course as been previously shared, you need to be compassionate and hard working to be in a care home. So the other workers wouldnt get that.

. . . and exactly how much money per year will that raise?

No, I am not upper middle class, So it wouldnt fall on me. My Mum is 93 and lives in her own house. She still helps out with child care of her great grand children. Hopefully I will live as long and as healthily as Mum.

So how will anyone afford care?

I'm all in favour of paying fair wages and taxing the rich more but that alone isn't going to be enough if we're paying every care worker £50k.

Who are ‘these people’? Immigrants are not just vulnerable people who are crossing the Channel to get to the U.K. And why is it the responsibility of the upper middle classes to house them?

Which is exactly what our govt is planning to do. Are you in favour of that? If you are, then I don’t see what the problem is.

Can you not remember the protests by British tradesmen when Labour were in power under Tony Blair? Gordon Brown promising British jobs for British workers?

Of course mass immigration has an effect on UK workers.

What kind of cat goes “Meouw” anyway?

Apologies. I was 5 then, so no I don’t remember.

😂😂 a bigoted one.

50k is excessive. But how much would you want to work in a care home?

A posh and foreign one?

Nurseries are often private businesses though (including MAT nurseries) and can set salaries as they please, unless they're local authority nurseries attached to local authority schools, in which case staff are on a council grade. Neither here nor there really ‐I totally agree, unemployment is still not the fault of immigration.

You’re the one who suggested £50k. How about £30k instead? And we all pay higher taxes to fund it (the wealthier you see, the more tax you pay).

A Dutch one?

Well, it would depend on what my other options were, I suppose. And that would depend on skills, qualifications and experience etc.

Poor people are affected much more by immigration. Unskilled jobs, social housing. Many immigrants work for less than minimum wage, and they go straight to the front of the social housing queue, especially if they have children. I don't blame them for any of this, I blame the government.

Because OP- the reason they have allowed mass immigration in last few years is due to Brexit and large gaps in the workforce. They forgot to mention that on the side of a bus. The fact is the working classes don't want to do certain jobs and would rather not work even if you offer higher money -and why should the workers you mention earn more than a hospital doctor who has 7 years of study and a ton of debt to qualify
