A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.

I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.

Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions

These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.

Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.

Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.

Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.

There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.

So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.

Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.

The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

I am so utterly fed up of this constant lie that Britain is absolutely reliant on low-skilled immigration to keep our country dragging along. That is just not true. It's boring and it's wrong.

Let’s take the NHS. We’re always told how its built on immigration. Total nonsense. Reason number one - if we trained our own people, there would be no need to import foreign professionals through such vast numbers. We deliberately block British boys and girls from training medicine, then ship in staff from the third world.

And let’s be clear.

Their training is often not good enough. Their language is often not good enough. Their attitude is often not good enough.

That’s just a fact.

The NHS needs translators, but not for the patients - it’s the sodding staff half the time.

So we have some of the brightest young British men and women unable to train through our own decisions, and we replace them with migrants who are all too often not up to the job. Great work, everyone. What a result that is.

Even British medics who have been trained can’t get work. Those roles are being filled by imported Nigerians. It all just sounds too ludicrous to be true. It is very much absolutely true.

Then these pro-immigration hide behind the fact that they bumped into a foreign receptionist in a hospital. It is absolutely nothing personal against these specific individuals, I don’t blame them. I blame our rotten politicians. I’m sure that receptionist is a possibly a nice lady, but she shouldn’t be here.

We have millions of healthy Brits on benefits doing nothing. The answer is quite simple - GET THEM WORKING.

There is also the moral argument of taking these individuals away from their own countries, but I am uninterested in that.

But let’s just park all that for one moment. Why is demand so high in our hospitals?

Go and sit in a hospital waiting room in London, Birmingham, Manchester - pretty much anywhere in Britain other than leafy Surrey.

It’s packed full of foreigners.

They have every need catered to them. Don’t speak English? Great. We’ll fund the translator. Hundreds of millions are spent on this. It is, and I don’t apologise for my language here, a total piss-take.

All whilst taxpaying British men and women are unable to see their GP, get a scan or receive timely treatment.

I have no issue with bringing in the odd brain surgeon or oncologist. Great, let’s do that until we can train our own. But to suggest that Britain’s health service is so indebted to immigration is total bullshit and we should call it out for the reasons stated above.
