  Keith you seem perversely fixated on migration of EU workers, as EU citizens we all have freedom of movement and there is no reason that any UK citizen cannot move to another country to get work, as many construction workers did in the 80s.
  
  I compete in my sector (private) with not only other EU citizens but also a significant number of Australians, Indians, New Zealanders, South Africans & US citizens who have valid work permits.
  
  My day rate is related to the skills I have and their shortage or otherwise in the market place. Sometimes rates soften and we all take a haircut on our rates to keep our jobs, or to win work, at other times like now rates firm up due to skill shortages and we can all get better pay days. As a contractor if I do not work I am unable to meet my bills, so sometimes you take work at lower rates than you would like to ensure the creditors are kept from the door, but that is sadly how the world works in freelance project management.
