UK, Ireland /
Does Irish government pay Polish workers to return to Poland? [18]
And Poland and the U.k. are part of the E.U. sooo...???
Maybe it is also semantics to call Scotland a country? which it is.
But I will agree with you, that racism is not the correct word.
And management of people is the job of your government
Essentially, what I am saying is that the UK is an island and it cannot cope with the influx of so many extra people. I'm not trying to stop or force anyone to do anything, I just think that an open door policy to immigration and total freedom of movement from within the EU is flawed. Everyone will flock to where they think they will get the best deal, which is natural, but it isn't going to work if they all head for the same place.
You're right, it is the job of Government to manage all this, but the British Government either don't want to be bothered or don't know what to do.
Do you think the whole thing would be better if there was no credit crunch?.
When you need foreign workers you throw open your doors.
Then the greedy fat cats mess everything up and the very foreigners you needed are the ones first to go. Wham Bam, thank you Mam? it doesn't work like that and what a relief.
The recession, when it happens, and the credit crunch will see many Polish having to sign-on the dole with other British people and that's when I see the real problems starting. Resenment towards migrant workers or whatever you want them to be called will grow when unemployment grows.
I don't think that's fair, but you don't need to be an expert in sociology to see that British people will get hacked off if they see the few jobs that are available going to someone with a foreign accent.
We should never "throw open our doors to foreign workers" as you put it. Employers should pay its staff a decent wage so that the average working British man/woman can do a days work, pay the bills and not be expected to live on fresh air like they are now.
The British Government should look after its own before others.
