Mr Bibby is right to show how the rest of Europe is keeping England going. He has a lot of good in knowing how foreign people help. - 24 March 2014 18:02262786we keep reading that our home grown unemployed prefer to lay in bed until mid-day rather than look for work.
doesn't seem so, when morrison's were recruiting for their new store here in dover they hired out the "centre spot" at the theatre of dreams up at crabble for 3 or 4 days. queues formed every day and the number of applicants averaged out at over 50 per job. - Jan Higgins

24 March 2014 18:31262787Morrisons get people asking if there are any jobs going all the time only to get a negative reply.
My grandson who is up in Cambridge has been trying to get a part-time job to supplement his student grant the whole time he has been there, I really wish he could it is costing his mother and myself a fortune.
If we did not have these financial immigrants getting free access to so many jobs there would be more hope for our indigenous unemployed.
I think it is best to ignore Pierre's goading and slightly offensive post and treat it with the contempt it deserves.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 24 March 2014 18:36262788The big problem is that many of our home grown applicants are functionally illiterate and innumerate whereas those from abroad have much better basic skills. We should rejoice that we have access to a pool of talent which is absent locally. And immigrants work their butts off, a habit which is rare among locals.

But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson - 24 March 2014 18:54262790all the shops i use in dover and the wider east kent are staffed by brits to my knowledge and 99% of the time they make the chore of shopping a pleasure with polite and friendly service.
morrison's and asda are excellent examples of this. - 25 March 2014 09:31262800Ms Higgins, i do not wish to make you sad as I was just saying what Napoleon said a long time ago. Many supermarkets in England are owned by other nationals now, Asda by Walmart, Lidl and Aldi to name a few. Perhaps I was clumsy with my words, so sorry.
England is still good for Bankers and others who like to make profit from lending money. - 25 March 2014 10:48262805Jan Higgins wrote:Morrisons get people asking if there are any jobs going all the time only to get a negative reply.

Jan, you are a reasonable and rational person, you have pointed out what more and more people are realising, we don't need any more people we need jobs for the people already here. And with the greatest respect to Monsieur Morgune (or whoever he may be) we don't need others telling us whats good for us. - 25 March 2014 12:19262807now we have a group of blue m.p's that want more immigration.

The conservatives pledged in there manifesto to cut migration to 100.000 max
Cameron was saying if I don't do it kick me out.
You cannot trust the conservatives on immigration or a referendum.
They love mass migration
Pierre Morgune is a little bit right.
Briton was a nation of shop keepers ,until we let in Asian shop keepers that imported slave Labour under the pretence ,that they where cousins and family members.
This enabled them to run shops on a shoestring, forcing British shop keepers out of business.
This slave practice still exist to this day, its easy to run a successful business if your paying peanuts for workers.
peter could be successful,With this advantage
