Yet, for short-term needs, political/economist experts believe that mass immigration is beneficial. I can see a VERY big potential problem there for immigrants and non-immigrants in the not-too-distant future. That's going to be A LOT of very disappointed people.<br /><br />Another anti-depressant pill then.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741318067991857821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-19055140055696425892015-03-20T20:17:18.762+00:002015-03-20T20:17:18.762+00:00It's all nothing as to what will happen when t...It's all nothing as to what will happen when the robot revolution kicks in, in the next 10-20 years. <br /><br />Robot cars and lorries - goodbye to half the lorry driver, van driver and taxi jobs. <br /><br />Robot GPs - goodbye to half our GPs. <br /><br />Robot warehouse and shelf-stacker workers - goodbye to 90% of such jobs. <br /><br />All repetitive manufacturing jobs. <br /><br />That's just a few of the job sectors that will be virtually wiped out. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-51829825542141533562015-03-20T11:22:52.903+00:002015-03-20T11:22:52.903+00:00"In Royal Leamington Spa, builder Andy Graham..."In Royal Leamington Spa, builder Andy Graham takes on the renovation of a Victorian townhouse for client Kristian Goode.

The class war agenda from the producer on that one was so appallingly obvious and forced it on the staff so unfairly, it made me swear that if I ever had that real bit of extra money, I'd stay there just out of spite, and I would tell the staff about it.David Preisernoreply@blogger.com
