Lord Rose, businessman who supports lower wages for workers, to lead pro-EU campaign

[-:Undertaker:-]

You don't seem to get the point: you've been saying all through this thread that his views aren't important to this discussion unless they've been written explicitly in this article (which is **** stupid) and are now pointing to things outside the actual quote for your own handholds. I'm not suggesting that he's against mass immigration because it's OBVIOUS that he's all for it, but what's also obvious is that he supports no minimum wages - not because he's said those words in the quoted segment, but because that's what logically follows from his views on the free market.

It should not be this difficult to teach people over the age of six bloody hell.

I'm not disputing he doesn't support a minimum wage i'm saying that isn't what the article or issue is about....................................

He supports mass immigration to keep wages as low as he can. That's what the article is about and what I care about. Case closed, Christ almighty.

The article is actually just a very short note stating that Stuart Rose is the chairman of the In campaign. It's not about minimum wage, it's not about mass immigration, it's JUST saying "hey, this is the bloke that's leading the pro-EU lot".

While I disagree with undertaker and believe a minimum wage is a good idea I can see the point he is trying to make or at least think I can.

Wages generally rise as well as the cost of living with many businesses trying to be competitive. However with a lot of foreigners looking for any income it gives employers the possibility of not having to raise their wages. Why go above the minimum wage when you know there's a load of people who will work for anything. The problem is that it won't be illegal as they will be offering the minimum wage while saving more money and remember business is all about profit.
