This country is only better for having foreign people. I am Chinese, my parents came here in the 1960's and worked and still work hard as hell in their 70's. My wife is Spanish, and she also works very hard - what I am saying is that we are all a valuable asset and credit to this society. Which brings me to my next point - We recently moved from London to Herts following my job. My wife decided to find a new job in Herts. Of course, having paid tax and National Insurance it was only fair to go and claim jobseekers allowance. And what do you see down at the job centre? Scumbag natives in hoodies swearing and spitting and holding their hands out for money. This whole subject really riles me - the state of the scum in this country and certain people on here are 'trying' to point the finger at foreigners?!?!?!?

It's called capitalism and a free market, if people are prepared to do it for £3.50 per hour then that's the going rate. It's a good thing anyway and makes us more competitive as a country.

To an extent, yes, but what happens to the English lorry driver with a wife and two kids to support when a Polish driver offers his services to the haulage company for half the money and is prepared to do twice the hours? Do you say to the English driver and his wife and kids "It's a good thing and will make us more competitive as a country."?

So we import slave labour to make us more competitive - this is a good thing ?

Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me - the peasants will revolt

I have no problem with foreigners coming here to work within reason and it benefits the UK.

However, to use an analogy, one bad review of a restaurant/hotel will be taken notice of and will cancel out 20 good ones.

There are far too many bad types of foreigner here and they need to be sorted out. While many have flocked to the UK to take up legitimate opportunities, the same freedom afforded to them has been taken advantage of by criminals and spongers and has virtually been unchecked.

My slant is we have more than enough people on this little Island as it is. If we do not close the flood gates we will be over-run.

I have no issue with the people who come in and work hard, they are all well and good in moderation BUT not when it happens on mass.

The building industry is suffering badly. My friends firm used to emply 6 kitchen fitters on reasonable wages. Now they emply 15 outsiders on a pittance and 2 fitters to go round fixing the outsiders bodges...... You can say what you like about that but when I see a friend out of work and 2 Poles guys just off a boat in work it grinds at you .........

The funny thing is this sort of thread always gets zapped in the end but the fact is it sparks up huge debate. I wonder what would happen in a poll

I can't believe that people who live in a free market economy are now suggesting that protectionism is acceptable. Most people buy their milk from the cheapest source without a second thought, do they give a flying **** about the producer. Like **** they do, same with everything else, if you can get it cheaper or pay less then you do. It's the society you live in.
Maybe you'd prefer a communist or socialist utopia or perhaps a Marxist state?

Say you owned the haulage company? What would you do? Keep the expensive labour, and therefore limit your profits/margin and loose market share and eventually business, while at the same time other haulage companies are employing cheaper labour to reduce costs for customers and increasing their profits? Business is business at the end of the day and if its your business its also you and your family's welfare. What would you say to your family if your business goes under?

But that is my point entirely, jonc. At the end of the day it will be the English lorry driver who suffers.

Funny how knowone will ever believe that Polish workers in general get paid the same as an english equivalent it just that They work Hard and always turn up for work. Frankly English are work shy lazy barstewards compared to most of the world. The fear comes from competition in the work force.

I can't believe that people who live in a free market economy are now suggesting that protectionism is acceptable.
Why not? Most large corporations do. They are just as hypocritical. They want globalisation for cheap labour and no tariffs etc, but they still want to control their market in each country (Sony, Microsoft, Movies, DVDs, Music, International Motors etc etc) and they really hate it when people try to bypass them and use globalisation to the consumers advantage.
