Steve ..the jobs have been taken away by machines and technology to a large degree. Do it yourself cash machines..check outs...etc....no apprenticeships.....don't forget millions of Brits live in other countries.Spain ..Australia...Canada..America...The NationalHealth has been held up by people from other countries .The government love it when we blame the immigrants ..let's them off the hook. I am writing this in Australia where so many people around me are Brits and other Europeans. We all try to do the best for our families
