Lol, what a joke, this is a backlash from Brexit and Covid 19. Good job Britain. If only the imigrants would have still been in the U.K. and willing to work on lower wages. But, NO!! We needed to take back control of our country and laws and ensure that young Britons have a fair chance of working in low income paid jobs such as drivers, hospitality staff and care givers. Moreover, we needed to stop the evil EU from siphoning significant money from the UK, money which is nowhere to be seen now. Good job UK!!!
