Here are the September 2011 figures for unemployment benefit claimants for this area of East Kent:
Dover: 2,247
Folkestone and Hythe: 2,643
South Thanet: 3,088
North Thanet: 2,457
Canterbury: 1,577
Chatham and Aylesford: 2,774
This data does not include people seeking work who are not claiming benefits. The number of potential available staff, therefore, is higher than the figures shown above.
So, if, in order for El Inominado to invest in this area (the inominado is the invisible "Company" that one day is supposed to pull us out of unemployment and "give everybody a job"), tens of thousands of people have to first settle near Dover, and tens of thousands more have to settle near Canterbury (I daresay we all KNOW that Canterbury City also intorduced unpopular plans to build many houses on farmland), then evidently these jobs are not meant for the unemployed who are listed above in the unemployment figures.
The "Compnay" is supposed to give jobs only to the newcomers, then, for whom we have to give up land so they can settle here and get the jobs.
Quite evidently, the many thousands of unemployed people on JSA in East Kent, who presumabely already live here (otherwise they wouldn't be registered as unemployed in East Kent constituencies) are not quite sufficient in number for "the Company" to bother putting up a tent here and offering jobs.
"Not enough potential staff" nearby!
As I understood it, the unemployed people here have already been excluded, are not potential staff, and have ben to all effect written off.

a bit over the top alex, people and employment tend to gravitate towards each other.
nobody can be exact about figures and what qualifications potential employers demand but the die is cast and the developments will go ahead.
you mention job seekers allowance but the odds against anyone moving locally without a job is rather remote.

Nah! Here in Kent, East and West, the factories employ almost exclusively non-British people, usualy through agencies. So many of us in Kent are saying this.
We don't stand a chance, Howard! They don't want us.
Unemployment in the Dover area has increased by 20% since a year ago. Thanet's unemployment is increasing too.
You know what the relaity is, Howard, it's that the last Labour government planned to bring Britain's population to 70 million by the year 2026 through immigration.
The official statistics released a few weeks ago state that Britain should build over 200 new houses a day to cope with it, the exact figure I can't remember, but it is well over 200.
That and no other is the reason for the building of 6,000 new houses next to Dover. It's camouflaged under the coating: "growth points status".
One thing is for sure: the jobs are not for us. The new houses neither.

Most of the new homes in and around Dover (District) that are being planned for building over the next 20 years, are for the growth in local people.
A couple who now have, say 3 children of 6, 8 and 11, will be needing homes in perhaps 15 years time; where will they live ? Not with Mum and Dad for ever (longer maybe but not forever); if the children are somewhat older, they'll need houses sooner and those younger, will need them further down the line.
If they're living here, they're spending here; if they're working here too, so much the better, but people tend to spend more, near to where they live, more than where they work.
Alex is right inasmuch as there are gang-masters and agencies who bring in workers from overseas and many indigenous people don't get a look in, but many of them are not even looking in for many of those jobs that go to these overseas workers.
