Well businesses want a big pool of labour, that means they have more choice. Fair enough.
But real abuse of labour is relatively rare it's just shit jobs and wages ... these are much worse in some sectors.
I went on Internet there are quite a few studies on it have a read and come to your own conclusions :)
You see on EU people forums as well that some jobs just can't be filled by UK people...UK companies say it themselves. And some jobs like hotel work and nursing are bloody hardcore! People that do them really want to do them here.
Immigrants often work shithard cos you can't mess up or you get booted out...
The whole narrative of its just somehow immigrants fault is extremely harmful as ultimately we got our jobs fair and square and we all want nice things, good schools, affordable housing... like anybody in the UK. Many EU people in the UK feel angry now though we could all being each other help / information / learning.
It's a bit sad really. Hopefully labour will try to heal that bit, conservative most certainly won't.
