You dont even need to read the article. Roumanians are already coming in.
Keep an eye on your credit cards.

It makes me laugh when I hear Government & businesses stating that this immigration is good for the country & our economy. Bollox is it.

I know of a bricklayer employed by a local company for 18 years who was laid off because they were able to replace him with a Polish bricklayer for half his daily rate.

So if this were to happen, as i believe it is, over most sectors of our economy, then the only people who are going to benefit are the bosses & big businnesses. Government dont give a shoite because they still get there rake in taxes.
So the rich get even richer & the poor/middle classes get poorer.
And all this under a so called Labour fuckin Government. Blood boiling.
Thank God im getting out of this assylum.

I share your views. But we should not give up. Such examples (and there will be many more)) show that it is up to our activists to persuade the Bricklayer both to publicise his case and to exercise the right to vote the rogues out.

The facts you have given are a vey good example of why we need to leave the EU and look after our own people.

As a bricklayer I look forward to the day I am "replaced" by an immigrant worker on half my salary................. watch this space















There is lots of work out there for good tradespeople.

The wider issue is that these people bring with them their own low moral standards ie attitudes to kids in care, crime prostitution and paying tax etc. In the end this will accelerate the overall decline of this country - which generally needs no help from outside.

It's not only those looking for work that come here we also have a high level of dross which wants to feed of our own society.

Shut the doors now.

There is no reason for any Bricklayer in this contry to be out of work.I find it hard to belive that a company would sack a person they had employed for 18 years .If he had worked for them for this length of time there are employment legislations in place that would not allow them to do so...The person in question (and the reason I would welcome it) is on a right result if he were to take this company to an industrial tribunal.

Regarding the influx of construction workers from Poland in general my response is unfortunatly we need them. With the current building programme in the south east especially there are not enough decent home grown tradesmen to go round..The Polish workers should not be confused with other eastern european immigrants as all the ones I have worked with are here to earn their money and go home.(the same as I did in 1979-81 when I worked in Germany).

What I find most annoying is that this is a problem that needn't exist.We have not trained enough of our young people.What has happened to the traditional apprenticships? We have thousands of kids walking the streets making a public nusiance of themselves,the govenments answer seems to be to keep them in school untill they are 18 but what about the the kids that are not accademic,,,come on get them proper apprenticships ,proper skills,proper jobs. Fill the job vacancies with our own people and the immigrants won't come,or at least the govenment won't have any excuse to let them in.

We are currently looking for bricklayers. must be fast and neat,work hard and turn up every day........would prefer to employ brits but havn't had one person walk on to site in the first 2 weeks of the job. The Polish bricklayer that works for us has said he can bring as many as we wan't. The main contractor is screaming because the job falling behind ,

What would you do ?

You're absolutely right! When I left Secondary modern school in 1957 at the age of 15, 75% at least of the boys of my year went into a trade apprenticeship. Twenty years later nearly half of those boys ran their own business in the trade they'd learnt! Today everybody wants to go to "Uni,"
So we're left with a generation who couldn't knock up a Rabbit hutch! Which delights big business and their puppets the politicians, because skilled "Johny foreigner " is cheap!

I don't know about brickies, but you'll be alright for finding a Brit web designer.

Regarding the first line of the above posting - I notice that the majority of those who say that immigration is good for the country live about as far away as they can get from immigrant areas of our towns and cities.

The ruling metro-'elite' are grade one hypocrites.
