I am not quite sure why they want to spin this....................... it isn't going to wash with us Gordon Brown!!!!

Answer 1

That doesn't surprise me.

Answer 2

They wouldn't get my job easier than I would.

Answer 3

Well, it all depends on whether they are better qualified, more hard working & more dedicated.

Answer 4

well that shatters the myth that immigrants are benefit cheats then!

i eagerly await a response from the daily hatemail

if youre looking for the root cause of housing shortage and NHS problems look to thatcher - she sold off all the council houses, and she chronically underfunded the NHS for years

at least labour have spent money on the NHS.  they could and shouldve done more about social housing, but if it wasnt for thatcher there wouldnt be a social housing problem in the first place

lets get rid of all immigrants shall we?  yeah, great idea, cos the NHS and UK economy doesnt in any way depend on immigrant labour and foreign investment does it.  nationalists need to get a clue

Answer 5

This is a vicious circle.

I`m afraid that a lot of the resident population in this country are not prepared to do certain jobs anymore. Like hotel and hospital cleaning, farm work etc. and particularly not for low wages.

I worked for a big hotel for years, in Housekeeping. We ended up having virtually all immigrant workers to clean the rooms. They  would do double the amount of work for a low wage. Believe me, there are plenty of employers in this country, who don`t care where their labour comes from as long as it is cheap!! I left in the end, because i hate so see people exploited, wherever they are from.

I wish employers were made to pay better wages and provide better conditions so that, all these immigrant workers were not needed so much. It`s crazy to me that we have all these unemployed people and so many on incapacity benefit, some of whom, i`m sure could work, even if only part-time, and yet we still keep importing workers from abroad.

Answer 6

Don't get me started.

Answer 7

It displeases me greatly,,

Answer 8

foreign workers are people like everyone else. Most nationalist who rant about "immigrants taking our jobs" haven't got a job because they can't be bothered to look for one.

Answer 9

i have no problem with those economic migrants who have a legal right to be here

i do however have a problem with

a)the politicians who sold our birthright for a mess of pottage

and

b)the taxpayer paying through the nose to keep the workshy section of the indigenous population who could be filling those positions

Answer 10

Yes, i'm glad they've found some other mugs to do all the c**p jobs so we don't have to.

We can all sit at home on yahoo answers keeping fit with wii while they slave away pouring taxes into our upkeep.

It could happen..

Answer 11

Well that question was idiotic

Answer 12

The reason foreign workers have more chance of getting jobs in Britain is because they are paid far more than in their own country and they are willing to do all the over-time that they can get with no complaints. Employers love this and cannot get enough of foreign workers which I personally think is wrong. I wish we never joined the E. U. as us lazy brits cannot get a decent job for all these hard-working foreigners.
