Unions protest because contractors are using foreign workers at power station.

I was wondering what picketing is going t happen tommorrow, just checked the ukwelders forum which apparently has been used to help publicise the protest among skilled working men outside the usual union system... The forum is now being monitored and controlled.

Seems orwellian to stop people debating on forums, whatever your views on their actions

Acuusing someone of being racist is both againstt the rules of this site and somewhat libellous... :rolleyes:

Secondly you may crow all you like with your Guardianista / leftie ideals about multiculturalism but you needt to realise that unchecked immigration has got the indigineous people of this country scared.

Scared for lots of reasons:

1) They are going to lose their jobs to foreigners that will work for pittances

2) Scared of not being able to mention race or foreigners with out being labelled racist.

3) Scared of going out to certain areas as they have become foreign ghettos. Even my local city centre is a disturbing place at night with what looks like dozens of East European men going around being abuseive to girls and women.

So your attitude is DAMN the British as long as we can spout our idealism. What a perfect world...

Every post of yours is more biggotted, narrow minded and stupid. You have just made my ignore list. Not only that but you have clung to your narrow minded views, despite well presented, logical arguments. This is the mark of a xenophobic bigot.

I've said it before but you seem like a slow learner: keep your opinions to yourself they a collection of the most stupid, ill-informed bits of drivel.

Well no wonder immigration is such a GREAT THING in your eyes.

Hardly objective are you? :rolleyes:

Actually thanks to the fact that unlike many others here I know about what foreigner has to go through to be succesfull I think I can be more objective than others.

I think that people who believe they are entitled to a job just because of a colour or nationality are seriously wrong. Thank god there isn't that many people thinking like that in the world...

You think we're not being monitored on here? You poor naive fool. I could have all the troublemakers rounded up in half an hour, but where would the fun come from then?
I had to get rid of that guy that kept going on about workcamps, can't remember his name now, he was getting too close to the truth.
Squatnow, that was his name. Gonenow.

How many people in the UK would see such an advert? All they see is one field of apples that want picking and the system would hinder them to go out and pick that one field... and they'd never see/find the advert for the next field of spuds/whatever.

If somebody in the UK advertised "fruit pickers wanted, we'll provide you with transport" it'd be a start. They're all over the place.

When I was in a field there were some Scottish people and they apparently heard about it from Job Centre. So try there.
That is 5 years ago though.

And no, there aren't many adverts like this in the Czech Republic. We found an advert in English on the internet (.co.uk website), came over and asked farmers around the fields whether for fee we can put up a tent on their land. During the years many of them made a small fortune out of it.

I do apologise for labelling you racist. Quotes like the one above have completely changed my view and I now see you as the pleasant, tolerant and balanced individual you clearly are. I hope you accept my apology. Please don't report me.

Cleaver, it IS happening like that in many city centres. No good burying your head.

I agree, it is happening... But not by people of one nationality...
I haven't actually read yet an article about stabbing victim being stabbed by Eastern European or about shooting commited by Eastern European..
I don't think it is fair to blaim only one group of people for this.

Oh my goodness Any - where have you been!! In Cambridgeshire the Chief Constable has been appealing for more funds for her police because the crime rate has shot up with the number of immigrants they have in the area!

In other areas the number of drink drivers has trebled because East Europeans says they dont know about our driving laws.

Do you not read papers? We have hundreds of murderers and rapists here who have come from East Europe. In the papers just last week were articles about the number of deaths due to dangerous driving by east europeans who dont even have a driving licence or insurance.

I cant believe you dont know any of this. Locally we have had several murders, normally amongst themselves. Did you not even read last week about the east european rapist who raped a young woman savagely because he wanted to be in the same prison as his brother who had also raped a woman?

I dont think any of us were blaming one particular nationality as you say - its fact and Im just amazed you arent aware of it. Do you really believe these people are totally blameless of any crimes??

Im finishing posting on this thread - more important things to get on with. Gawd help us and our country, is all I can say.
