Hy I have 26 year's a drive verry good and I'm verry interested about your job pizza delivery I'm new in town please give me a call or email if you think I'm the god gay for this job!
Have a good day"

One of many emails I had recently from Romanians(in the car wash industry) and East Europeans with very poor English asking for jobs. Any Locals applying? Nope! Zilch, Nada.

if you hadn't been in Plymouth i would have ripped ya arm off for that job.

When you say 'locals' do you mean natives ? lol

Locals means locals, I couldn't care much where their roots lie, provided they have good command of English, can count the change they give customers, can answer the phone, take orders and know the area very well...etc.

The same as what big multinational big chains pay, i.e.: minimum wage.

It was just under 0.5m Polish people from a 30% larger population. Poles are generally better educated which would lead to higher movement, but wage differential not as large as Rom/Bul, implying lower movement. So that all balances out and you're in the half-a-million range.

I believe the often quoted figure was 0.8m?

I believe the often quoted figure of 0.8M was for the first 2 years for Poland.

UKIP thinks 29 million...

I believe there's another estimate that puts the population at something like 28.6M.

Possibly put the UK a few more steps toward bankruptcy.

More than 600,000 unemployed European Union migrants are living in Britain today (source: the EU's own recent report!) That's not including the child benefits we send to EU nationals in other countries where one parent has comes over

It's probably just as well Labour had the minimum wage while they were opening the doors. I think many sectors could well pay half what it is and still get very poor people from abroad to do the jobs.

I wonder how long this whole broken Britain stuff can hold on for. What is it holding on to? What happens when it does fall when there has no money to give!

Was Great Britain, Britain now - soon Little Britain?

Bring it on. The sooner Britain crashes with devastating consequences the sooner change will come.

No turning back now just got to ride the st storm that is coming our way unfortunately.

[Guybrush]

Bliar and Labour generally have to take a large slice of the blame for their open door immigration policy, lying to us and painting anyone who objected as racist. UKIP seem to be the only ones with the balls to discuss the matter; it's strange that the the media won't give them any airtime to discuss the matter (and our EU membership) in open forum with red Ed and Cameron.

What part of that do you think they have broken?

[dandarez]

At the Wembley England v Poland footy game over 20,000 Polish fans didn't need to travel to get here, hence why they chanted with some authority:
'We're Poland. We're playing at home!'

Will a pattern emerge?

'We're Romania. We're playing at home as well!'

'We're Bulgaria. We're playing at home too!'

It's a great feeling to be patriotic.
