My buds missus runs a B&B & over the last few weeks it full of German workers, all the vans are parked up 'Lidl' stires it seems

They are expanding , the German shopfitters have travelled over,& are sorting all the shelves etc..& shop fixings
A few weeks before a Polish family took the lease on 2 shops down the road.......All the Polish workers came , did the same thing..knocked 2 shops into one ......& fitted the place out !!

Good busness for the B&B short term ........

But......If they can come 2000miles to kit a buds shop out , or 1000miles + in the cae of the german company, it says they have no intrest in fueling our ecconomy, or keeping us in work, how do they expect us to use the facilities they provide .......as they pay 'their workers' & shops are in Uk currency , so all the money goes out of the ecconomy.....back to there home land.

They blatently use us , & we do nothing about it......are we blind ?? Im sure we enjoy subsidising these people & paying high taxes...we're going to be bancrupt...wakey wakey UK.

British jobs , are for us !!! Unless you want to see even more taxes...& Mr Brown wake up buddy

waveydavey:
Too late: Gordon can wake if he wants but all he will find is that he and his friends (Especially Mandelson) have signed off so much to Europe that they can do is watch.

Chris Putt:
Its the law of supply and demand. If we want cheap goods- chances are they will have to come from abroad as out labour rates are high- so these kind of shops will thrive, and it will only continue to get worse as disposable income continues to fall.

If you want it otherwise buy produce only from local shops- that only stock local produce.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
What is wrong with immigration? Its already been mentioned that prices are so high in this country that people will use the cheapest solution.

Perhaps these companies, such as Total Oil, should look in the UK first for staff, but if they have already got trained staff ready to go, can you blame them? Would you really want untrained staff at an oil refinery?

The UK has always made use of immigrant workforces in all aspects of life. History shows us that. There were French and Spanish sailors fighting in the Royal Navy at Trafalgar, Commonwealth troops in World War One and Two, as well as Gurkhas (not Empire as such, but a former enemy who impressed the Brit generals).
Eastern European personnel flew in the Battle of Britain, fought on the beaches at D-Day, and hunted U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic.

All those who say "I'm off to Australia/ New Zealand/ Canada to get away from all this", themselves become immigrants to their host countries. I wonder what it feels like for the boot to be on the other foot, especially as those contries have tougher rules than we do.

Before I get slated, my thoughts on immigration are that we should pull out of Europe, thus get back tighter border controls which would allow us to vet people in the same way that most other countries do, to stop abuses of the system.
Converseley, we have our own supply of idle scroungers who have no intention of looking for gainful employment, who could be utilsed.

I'm now getting my flak jacket on...........

beast5680:
you forgot to mention lsp that britain is one of the biggest exporters of labour round the world as well
the company i work for has just taken on a lithuanian (who managed to fly from his hometown to kent for a 3hour interview and back in the same day) as we had adverts out for over 6 months and no replies and he was the only one who replied who was qualified :-k there are plenty of jobs for british worker but if no one applies for the job what are you supposed to do?
