Political ramblings

My wife is a chef in Stratford upon Avon, when I met her 15 years ago every restaurant and hotel was manned by British workers, now it almost entirely manned by cheap staff from Eastern Europe who are untrained and unskilled, but CHEAP, she has kept her job because she has to teach them how to cook the menu they have.
British chefs? got no chance.
did u sing along to this at your wedding, in stratford on avion? [media]

So if migrants are paying so much in tax, why do so many of them thrive in cash driven industries such as car washes, and house cleaning? I wonder how much of that goes to the government.

 
From my understanding they work there because others do not want.they take what is avaiable and do not complain.I believe that they would prefer to work legally have holiday and so on.cash job is not that great unless you have good rate and afford to pay private pension yourself.

 
Not a racist thing but if we had no immigrants then there would be enough jobs for most people

Then if government placed you in a job snd you said no then no benefits

Would get this country working again

Enoch Powell had the right idea and was called a racist

But was purely economics

I been practicing today and the windows have smears on, not impressed, still, I hope to get there, its not as easy as you think. I think I need to sort my rubbers out and cut them down, unger make them to lng they feel lightweight at ends, I am sure thats why all you guys dog ear them etc or make them only poke out a bit

Anyway that ladder mate, is a deffo for me, looks great I have seen the you tube vids on it, great product.

i got rid of him after he started to claim total paralysis [but was still on the ladders]

id NEVER employ anybody that wasnt a brit now . you know where you are with a lazy brit .

but i nearly slipped up and broke my vow the other week, i needed an extra hand and a student injun overheard me talking and offered himself - mmmm, so i said ok, be here at this corner at 9a.m. next monday

guess what - he didnt show

Scottie as regards leaving lines or whatever i reckon its down to overcleaning the same windows, its the same as any job,repeat it in the wrong circumstances and you will fukup . better to wait till u get a customer mate. i hadnt ever cleaned a window when i started out ,the first i ever did was at the customers house. i had really crappy gear too, homeowners ****, made by Quickie

 
When times get hard, the proliteriat look for a scapegoat. Worked for Hitler.

The poor stay poor and the rich get rich. There's not a great deal anyone can do about it.

Revolution anyone?

Been waiting for one to kick off since I was a teenager, its long overdue imo.

 
Statistics can be doctored any way the media or politicians see fit. Easy solutions; Stop letting people in to the country to claim something that they/or ancestors haven't payed into, stop sending billions into the EU pot and instead invest in UK. Encourage industry- chinese, japanese, and just about every other country loves british products and will continue to buy regardless of whether we are in the EU or not. Stop the money hungry politicians feathering their nests by giving millions of our money in foreign aid to build their own standing when they eventually leave to work for the european parliament. The money raised from doing all of that alone should help chip away at our problems.
Sorry for the thread derail. Hopefully @Gav will be able to chop these posts out and make a political discussion thread. /emoticons/smile.png
:iagree:

 
What makes me laugh about the EU is they always pull the trade card and how we will have to pay more for imports, well this is in two parts, ********!

We buy more than we sell, they aren't going to start charging more because they will lose out, not us.

 
The biggest part of benefits on this country go to working people who can't afford to live on their wages....
Or doesn't want work more,harder,longer,cause they has got benefits.

Plus these foreign types who never have paid into our country's tax system
And about taxes - do you all,pay tax from each penny you earn? Don't thing so...

You do realise that a lot of nurses are on benefits, working tax credits etc, are you suggesting nurses do not work enough, work hard enough or work long enough because of those benefits?

 
I didn't mean everyone on benefits,it's just what I can see all around.I do know many benefiters,no one is hard working,foreigner etc.They are lazy,when you offer them a job,they doesn't want to cause it's too hard or not enough money.

I worked very,very hard 14 hours a day for minimum wage and it's horible,I can tell you.I changed it.If I could,everyone can.And working tax credits helped me with that.Without it,I really don't know...

And I know many foreigners - nurse,teacher,driver and they are not on benefits.If they could,everyone can.

It's not so easy,you need to see both sides.

 
You clearly see bigger picture Matrix...I worked crazy hours for pretty much minimum without benefits and did not complain and managed somehow.I do not know 1 foreigner who purely rellies on benefits,most of them work and pay taxes.

 
Australia looks a great place to livewonder what there immigration policy is?
A points system based on whether you bring needed skills to the country. You have to prove that you are able to look after yourself financially. If you are a known criminal, you have foregone your right to citizenship.

Yep, I reckon this would be a good start to our problems.
