Terry, your figures are woefully unsubstantiated and you have a track record of changing them from post to post.

In other words you couldn’t be bothered to research them.
give me some examples of figures I’ve quoted and why (exactly) they’re “woeful”.
And also give me an example of where they’ve changed form “post to post”.

Easy there now Tel.
Agreeing or disagreeing is grand .. But I can’t abide this total dismissal of posts lark. Jen is making a case, as are you. Reasoned debate certainly gives scope for questioning the interpretation of facts. I defended your right to speak without fear of dismissal elsewhere on this site. I suggest you afford…

I have had many a CV from British applicants …. and I am so shocked sometimes at the lack of effort put into the bloody things….some don’t even have their date of births on them….

I’ve never seen a CV with someone’s date of birth on it. How is someone’s age relevant? :roll:

The UK economy was built off the back of immigrants, slaves and the colonies…

The first immigrants arrived in this country following the end of World War II. Their jobs were limited and didn’t really build the economy at all.

We’ve never had slaves working in this country either.

Again, a case of facts over fiction. And I don’t…[Read more]

Go and ask those in your area who employ Eastern Europeans why, seek their experiences.

Minimum wages, plus they prefer agancy workers who can easily be laid off. There are 17,000 employment agancies in this country. And that’s how the Poles got a foothold in the first place.

Again, can i please ask you for facts rather than…[Read more]

I’m not British, nor am I anti-British either.

It’s a strange world when there seems to be no pride or faith in the British from the British people themselves.

Not just my story though Terry, it’s a common theme in this part of the world unfortunately.

It’s opinion Jen. And very anti-British.

I have opinions too, but try to rely on facts and figures to get my point across.

The UK economy was built on British graft and didn’t rely on Polish immigrants to get it there. We were once the…[Read more]

Jen

I worked for a place last summer which only employed Brits. The hours were long (we did an 83 hour shift one week) and the work was hard and physical.

There’s no shortage of British grafters – in fact the owner of the business himself didn’t think Polish workers were up to it and wouldn’t consider employing them.

That’s a very different…[Read more]

And please.. Let’s try keep it civil huh?

We did, Tel didn’t.

He doesnt like the polish, not sure if he knows there are other countries in the EU and all of them immigrate to England and Ireland.

I shall leave you and Jen to give each a big hug knowing that you scared the nasty man away.

[So tell me…if you could dramatically improve the financial quality of life for you and your family by working abroad, you’d say “oh no, I couldn’t possibly leave this job in my home country paying peanuts, I’ll stay here and live on the breadline thank you”?

As for putting Britons out of work, most of the businesses I know that…

If they are working and giving back to the English in taxes well, you cant really give out about costing money since their brining it in.
So if your govenment dont put something in place to stop your employer from firing you and hiring someone willing to work for less thats the immigrants fault!!!

Lucy, in the last seven years…[Read more]

God forbit you lose your job or need to move country to get work!![

The Poles I’ve met had jobs in Poland before moving to the UK to put Britons out of work. But don’t let that insignificant little fact get in the way of your generalisations…

You should all find it in your hearts to forgive Terry. He does, after all, read the Daily Mail and believes every word he reads.

One day, he may have a thought or opinion of his own. :P

Why do you use JC to make personal attacks? :?

Fair trade and the protection of the rights and interests of the nationals of its Member States is a good thing though.

So the rights and interests of the English people are protected by being a member of the EU?

Are you serious..?

The English lost a lot of their rights after 13 years of Labour. And being part of the EU.

Better in than out I say!

May I ask why?

The Swiss don’t belong to the EU and still trade in Europe (as do the Chinese..)

It costs this country close to £50,000,000 per day to be a member of the EU. Please explain why we need to be ‘in’. :roll:

It’s an alcoholic drink.

I like putting panda in her place.

I think she meant she rests her case of Thunderbird onto the floor after the late-night shop from Tesco.
