"There's nothing stopping English people applying!!!"
Keith, Tilmanstone Salads employ workers from the Baltic states via work agencies.
The worker must phone the agency about 4 in the afternoon to ask whether they can go to work the next day.
Sometimes they work for a week, sometimes they are off a week or two with no pay.
Every day they phone at 4 in the afternoon to find out from the work agency, who in turn are informed by Tilmanstone Salads.
This way, neither the work agency nor Tilmanstone Salads pay anything other than the hours worked, as per contract.
I know it all from Lithuanians and Latvians, Keith. It was like that 3 years ago, it is still like that now.
Unlike you, Keith, I have spoken to Eastern Europeans working in Dover and know how it works at Tilmanstome Salads.
Nothing to do with your above quoted phrase, Keith!

alex is correct with the facts in post 43 that is why some employers recruit from overseas.

Keith, I've heard the same stories again and again from Eastern Europeans working for Tilmanstones.
Similarly I've heard the stories of young 16 year old Kentish lads explaining how they simply cannot live off an apprentice wage of £2 buggers 60 an hour even though an employer had offered them a job.
People from Eastern Europe and people from Britain can become quite annoyed with what they are being offered, either in Eastern Europe or in Britain.
Listening to IDS and a few others in the Cabinet sounding off how their latest brain-flash ideas will "get Britain to the stars" makes me wonder what planet they live on.
It's all either cynical or the result of overtly out-of-touch and well-paid chaps in Government!

High noon for nasty party and `loony party..................?
UKIP candidates and supporters are a ``collection of clowns``who should not be allowed to set
political agenda says Ken Clarke as parties traded insults.
Flashman`s description of UKIP being `fruit cakes,loonies and `closet` racists`and accused of
lacking policy making members.and a collection of `waifs and strays`
Farage saying Tories are ``Ossified Elite``and `out of touch with the general public.
Tories fear UKIP will inflict a disastrous result for them on Thursday..

Would seem the Turbo Tory Party (UKIP) have got Clarke and his cronies in a flat spin. I have received no election leaflets from either by the way.

Ukip has a 'handful' of embarrassing candidates
A few Ukip candidates have views that "don't look very pretty" ahead of the May elections,
Nigel Farage, its leader, says.

Why Vote
I once used the ballot
never bothered again
it changed not a jot
they continued to reign
My home is painted
outside and in
all is new-scented
yes, even the bin
The bric-a-brac dust free
and books on the shelf
all done to please me
all done by myself
The furniture suits me
bought without debt
and so all can see
faces the wide TV set
The car's in the drive
the roses' in bloom
may peace ever thrive
here in my little room
I once used the ballot
since ceased to care
trouble became my lot
but, there was nobody there
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

Dover is part of the County.
Anything concerning the County and its needs can be part of an election campaign for the county council elections.
Unemployment, poverty, the cementing over of farm and woodlands ... anything that concerns the County.
Any candidate standing in the name of a political party must reckon with the electorate making a connection between that candidate and the party policies of his party, at both local and national level.
It is inevitable, and comes as part of the package of standing as a candidate in the name of a political party.

had another one from the reds in today, the same as the last one.
good point from alex, the candidates appear to be standing on national issues - it follows that those who vote will do the same.

one candidate seems to have hit a nerve somewhere.
