It's harder to get jobs due to EU eastern influx

From BBC 1 Ceefax , page 113 (analogue), 13.11.2006 at 2.09 pm:

Migrants ‘crowding jobs market’

More than half of people polled by the BBC fear the arrival of eastern european workers is making it harder for British citizens to get jobs.

In a poll for the BBCs Inside Out programme, most of the 997 people surveyed agreed migrant workers had been good for the British economy.

But more than a quarter feared wages were being driven down by cheap labour.

And almost four out of five backed proposals to restrict the arrival of Bulgarian and Romanian workers.

* A caller to Mike Mendoza’s TalkSport radio programme said on 14.11.2006 at 2.30 am “Polish workers here in the UK are now worried about the influx of workers (to the UK) from Romania and Bulgaria when those two nations enter the EU on 1.1.2007. Polish and other eastern european workers in the UK fear competition from the Romanian and Bulgarians for the jobs and by being undercut regarding salaries.”

It's not really rocket science is it.

Some of these people may actually CREATE jobs, but let's face it, the balance will be in the other direction.

Do we have space for more than 60 million people in Britain, that can be sustained in homes, energy, food and water, waste disposal etc in both good times and bad and at a reasonble standard of living (IE not in shoe boxes, bumper to bumper, on rations for everything!)

Answer = no for me. Indeed I think we went past reasonable at about 45 million.

30 million was the figure from the ONLY study on the issue, but I am going to give technology some benefit for increasing that number.

Scotland can take at least 3 million or so and the SNP are asking for them aren't they?

I agree with those who say that it is hypocritical of this shower of an excuse for a Government, to claim that it wants to cut carbon emissions and then allow a growth of the UK population through immigration equivalent to the size of one-million population Birmingham just in the time the liar Blair has been in Downing Street.

More people means more car fumes, more airflights, more power stations needed, more water resources used and more motorways, hospitals and schools needed. In other words, more carbon emissions.

The quickest way to cut carbon emissions is to halt any immigration which raises the UK population overall.
