Re-read my last post slowly and try to understand it if you can...
Your last post basically states that importing low skilled workers is bad for the UK. Let’s say that you are correct, are you then going to import high skill workers meeting the entry level 70 point to do the low skill jobs for less money than they were earning in their own country? Is this your plan?
Read it once more... S l o w l y this time and see if you can comprehend the meaning of my post...
I got it, you don’t want to answer the question, because you can’t.
I get that you can't see out of the box... At anything else than cheap labour or Armageddon... Shame...
Cheap Labour is what the Country wants. You can pay them much higher wages if you want as long as you are willing to pay higher price for your burger. I am not advocating to bring in cheap Labour into the UK, so the question still stands, as to who is going to do the low paid low skilled work if not those allowed to come in with their 70 points?
Switzerland allows high skilled workers as well as low skilled workers into the country, because both are needed, however, Switzerland has a “no wages dumping” laws, which means employers cannot pay less money to immigrants than they would pay the citizens. Is this the plan with the Brexiteers?

Boring!
You
are boring, you've just repeated the same thing over and over...
Look here is the thing, we can test your hypothesis...
Either McDonald's will start selling burgers at £20 each and go out of business in the process (as their competitors find other ways to keep their labour costs down) or they won't.
I'm guessing they won't.
In fact we can already
prove you are wrong as they don't sell £20 burgers elsewhere and introduce automation (self ordering is a good example) as labour costs have risen due to minimum wages. If wage rises (due to minimum wage regulations or lack of cheap imported labour) make burger flipping uneconomic they'll simply introduce burger flipping machines.
Cheap imported labour suppresses wages and stifles innovation. Simples.
