The post you are reporting:
Barry rightly points out that the jobs are there, but they go to foreign workers. These are the minimum wage jobs.
The result is, that unemployed locals are on £67 a week JSA, except the very young unemployed, who get less than that.
The millions of minimum wage foreign workers do not contribute in any relevant way to the tax-system, to pensions and NHS, and cost the State much more than the private sector employer saves by employing them.
In this area of England, JSA and housing benefit amount to over £500 a month per person, 13 months a year (52 weeks). In London the figure is much higher, owing to the higher rent.
One day, the foreign workers too will be receiving pensions for working in the UK, although most of them won't have contributed more than peanuts to the pensions and NHS system with their minimum wage.
For all these reasons, I forecast that the UK pensions system is about to collapse, as the UK has to find more money to cover JSA and housing benefits, pensions for foreign workers, overloaded NHS and education.
The first people to start feeling the pinch - apart from the unemployed - will be the pensioners themselves.
Starting with the more vulnerable, those who require more investment to be cared for....
Sad, but inevitable.
