Dyson, the billionaire who backed Brexit, is worried that there aren't enough engineers in the UK.
Hah.
- mobiuscog 10y agoPart of the reason we don't have the people is because we rely on 'Europe' to provide everything.
- bildung 10y agoWhy is that not a problem for the other EU member states?
- Maken 10y agoAnd importing talent is bad because...
- fdgdasfadsf 10y agoThe UK has two problems: 1. We need lots of skilled people. 2. We have lots of people lacking skills. Importing talent solves problem (1) (and grows the economy and is generally and genuinely a good thing). But problem (2) remains. Why not try to solve both at once?
- jackweirdy 10y agoWe also have lots of skilled people missing work. All three problems are related, none are the root cause
- rahimnathwani 10y agoSkilled at what?
- jackweirdy 10y agoSoftware development, for one. In the UK Computer Science is the STEM subject with the highest unemployment rate.
- rahimnathwani 10y agoAre you saying that there are people in the UK who are skilled in software development, who cannot find jobs developing software? Or that there are people who have studied computer science (e.g. at university) and cannot find jobs developing software?

As the head of the in campaign pointed out in a rare moment of lucidity: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/12181385/Wages-for-British-workers-will-rise-in-the-event-of-a-Brexit-head-of-in-campaign-says.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/1218...
- alistair77 10y agoThat's really confusing cause and effect. For some sectors we rely on 'Europe' but the cause is that talented individuals are often discouraged from training or staying in the UK. Nurses are a prime example of this issue
- conjectures 10y agoDo we doubt 'Europe' exists or something?
- euyyn 10y agoSome people don't even question that the so-called "Europe" exists.

- matthewcford 10y agoThe number of people who I know only voted for brexit because of his nonsense campaign over vacuum cleaners and EU regulations, quite frankly I hope they go bust.
