Strikes over use of foreign workers

Polish workers work better and cheaper than the UK ones.

It's as simple as that.

I have several Polish friends and I can agree to a certain extent with you; however the current financial climate in the UK is forcing companies to close and make people un-employed therefore any work opportunities should go to the natives of the land before any out-side labour.

inconsistency of the pound- euro is the problem - (i think)
i personally think to many eu people and the rest are in this country because of the euro, it is worth more in britiain, what would you do, people are skipping france to be here more often than not illegally

however laws of EU states tha an immigrant should reside in first country of saftey so why arnt they staying in france ect and why isnt british gov saying so ---

Thats a load of rubbish.

Every nationality has its good and bad workers, where I work (and are soon to be made redundant from) we have had to fire 4 Polish workers! 2 for verbally abusing the other staff (sexist remarks), 1 for selling pirate DVD's (we had the police turn up) and 1 for cutting corners, costing the business over £300'000.

On the other hand ive got to say that many of the younger generation British lack discipline and can be very very lazy (if they bother to turn up at all), then there's the "don't give a damn" attitude. It all stems from the lack of discipline at home/school.

I started hearing this praise for Polish/foreign workers back in 2003 / 2004, at the time it appeared to be well founded, however now we have so many of them that we're starting to see the undesirable one's turning up looking for work too.

What are you talking about? The Euro is a far stronger currency (and in much better shape) than the Pound at the minute. Compared, the minimum wage is higher in France than it is in the UK. The Euro was weak at launch - but nowadays, it's much more desirable to be earning in Euro than in Pounds.

They are.

Do you actually know anything about the security at channel ports and the massive reduction in illegal entries since border controls were juxtaposed?

A beautiful fairy appeared one day to a destitute refugee claimant outside the Heathrow immigration offices.

'My good man,' the fairy said, 'I've been told to grant you three wishes, since you just arrived in England with your wife and three children.'

The man told the fairy: 'Well, where I come from we don't have good teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.'

The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and --
PING !!! He had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth

'What else?' asked the fairy, 'two, more wishes, to go'.

The refugee claimant now got bolder.
'I need a big house with a three car garage in Oxford with eight bedrooms for my family and the rest of my refugee relatives who still live in my country. I want to bring them all over here

PING ! - In the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three car garage, a long driveway, a walkout patio with a BBQ, overlooking the river

'One, more wish, left for you', said the fairy, waving her wand.

I want to be like the British with British clothes .

PING! - The man was transformed, wearing worn out jeans, an Eagles T-shirt and a Billabong baseball cap. He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had disappeared from the horizon.
'What happened to my new teeth?' he wailed. 'Where is my new house?'

The fairy said 'Tough luck. Now that you are English, you're entitled to f*** all!!!!' And she disappeared!
