Too bring back jobs to the EU that pay a decent wage.

Agree. People have had their incomes ravaged by present policies so can only afford cheap imported stuff. Bringing back low skilled jobs!!! Have you seen what China's producing these days? Better to bring them back than keep losing them

Again someone who relies on cheap imports to get by.

How long before your job gets exported?

Or just lost because your customers are on benefits?

I suggest you join Thommy and research the situation over the last 40 years. Then project it forward.
