- 26 September 2011 21:39128356Keith, a recent study done by Labour MPs has shown that since the new Government got in, 89% of jobs in Britain have gone to immigrants. It was big in the press a few months ago.
One could suggest that Jacqui's friend try London Fancy Box Factory or Tilmanstone Salads, but to the best of my knowledge, these two employers employ almost exclusively immigrants.
When I went last year to Folkestone to a job agency, J&J, everyone in there except myself and the people working there, was an immigrant, all speaking any language other than English.
A person who worked in one Dover factory, of which I won't give the name, told me first hand that the only two English people working there (apart from herself and the head staff) walked out saying f...*, and, "we're not going to put up with that!", because no-one else spoke a word of English, and the head staff only spoke in monosillables to the workers, with one-word commands and pointing there finger at the person theey meant.
It's a fact, Keith, that in most British factories where £6 an hour jobs are going, English is not spoken! English people generally can't work in many of these factories, either because they can't speak the "right" language, or
because the employer simply won't accept them.
Many such employers go exclusively for groups of people from one or two eastern European countries, out of principle.
But they won't tell you that, which is why you don't know, Keith

There were 4 applicants, she was the only english speaking one, the others were imigrants.
Agree with your last comment AlexThere's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok". - 26 September 2011 23:20128373Peter.

27 September 2011 07:30128396alexander;
it's well worth recalling all threads on this particular subject.
i do not disagree that immigrants take these jobs, but often its because uk residents wont take them for whatever reason.
let me give an example, as this seems to be what people are doing.
i sat on a bus recently(funny what you hear on a bus)
a single geezer told me he hadnt worked for some time but actually wasnt seeking work!!!
he told me the job centre was trying to force him to take a job which paid £13,000
he said it would be a cut in the dosh he gets and he will fight them.
that realy says it all
how many others are like him, not realy wanting to work, and happy to take off the system because they obviously make it easy to do soALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - Brian Dixon

ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 27 September 2011 21:19128533Brian, I must add a note to your post 27.
There is nothing stopping people working in Europe (27 EU countries), as you say, but, IF they find a vacant job!
In fact, someone called Mr. Unemployment is stopping many from finding a job, both in East and West EUland.
Another factor might also be the difference in wage, which could stop western people getting a job in the East even if there was one going.
I think we can all agree that unemployment is a big problem in each of the 27 EU states, and personally I don't see the Brussels government having any plan to solve it.
I think too much production has been outsourced to China and India, and once I even heard on the news that there are more US dollars in China than in America, owing to China's capacity to export just about everything all over the world, thanks to their extremely low exchange-rate, which makes their average wage a joke in comparison to that of all industrialised countries.
For which reason their products are so ridiculously cheap to import. I believe they sell clothes by the tonne, not by the single item
As for India, well they have heaps of money, as their military budget proves, and their number of millionaires.
Brian, all 27 EU countries are in a mess, now stand up and admit it

28 September 2011 06:55128582alex,mr unenployment was sacked by the preasant goverment.
during the thatcher years one tory [whos name aludes me at the moment] told the great unwashed [unemployed]people to get on there bikes,allso in same era they told to eat porrige.so there is your answer. - 28 September 2011 07:07128585Brian - that was Norman Tebbit who was speaking proudly of his father who, when he lost his job, did indeed get on a bike and go out looking for work instead of sitting at home. He was making the point, a valid one, that too many people then as now, make too little effort to look for work. I have met many who go that extra mile to find work and these are the ones who succeed, much to the shame of the lazy gits who do not make an effort.
