The Changing Face of Scotland - we need more immigrants!

british jobs for british workers first surely must be a priority , or a priority of any country to look after its own, no one will never get out of poverty these days with all these poles wages will never rise ever only maybe 10p an hour every year if the government rise the minimum wage , open door immigration is just a recipe for disaster ,always gonna keep low paid workers on the scrap heap

I see that It's all about the money, so I wonder what should happan when Poland become richer than UK, which is only a matter of time. Will you UFOs like to be pushed around by us ?

Alex Salmond, SNP MP, seems to think we need more. I watched him speak in Glasgow many years ago and he is a very articulate guy. Record keeping and compiling accurate statistics gets harder when immigrants don't register or work for less than minimum wage but diversity has been appreciated in places like Inverness where they have managed to get jobs as waitresses or hoteliers

That is so true. Think of all those dissapointed chav's just crying in their beer, "I couldn't get the cleaning job, a Polish guy got the job...."

I can give a part time cleaning job If anybody is interested...

and Dentists, Doctors, Schoolteachers, Joiners, Tilers, Plasterers etc etc

what is this UFO thing ? poland is a disgrace they will never be a wealthy nation like us this country is packed with pollocks and people are getting well p1ssed , it's only a matter of time before something breaks and we review our position in the EU which hasn't benefited anyone from the uk the EU is just one big joke on the british people , this guy thinks we have heads like ufo's better than poles with big long sculptured eastern european heads looking weird walking round with rucksacks looking like true communists oh and the bobbly eyes they seem to have and massive veins in their heads which look like their going to burst

Please...read this link: By having immigrants, the uk is 'looking after it's own.' Immigrants aren't stealing the 'British jobs,' British people simply aren't taking them. Here's one quote I want to highlight:



ok - what do you mean?


haha where the hell do you live? I've never seen anyone like that before...

Lennyd, you look familiar...I could swear I'd seen (very recently) an entire thread all about you.

Why are Poland a disgrace because they are not wealthy? America was one of the wealthiest countries in the world and look how it misspent its wealth on evil. Granted, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland are good examples, being amongst the world's wealthiest countries, but that doesn't make Poland a shambles.

We are better educated, more creatice, work harder, so It's only a matter of time when we become richer than you.

Again, no offence Greg but being better educated, more creative and working harder doesn't guarantee wealth. Professors are educated but not always loaded, scientists are creative but often get paid little and manual labourers work hard, poorly paid too. The problem lies with the Polish govt in increasing salaries

lennyd - read the title of the thread - do you mean Scotland ?

Scotland is wealthy by most standards, we have some great industries. I agree with szkotja24, please recognise that the thread is about Scotland as we are a separate (not independent) country

Of course It doesn't guarantee anything, It's true only in 90% of cases...

What is ur interpretation of wealthy Greg?

The most obvious one...

Wealth is a relative thing, it depends on ur classification systeminter alia. People who do PhD's (doctorates) are often not taken on by companies out of fear or a perception that they lack 'real world' experience. They often don't get a chance to be 'wealthy'. Also, let's assume that wealth is ur goal. Talking about it bores people and will lose u friends so u r just satisfying urself and like-minded wealth-obsessed individuals by talking about it. I know many people who went to Uni, dropped out but are now very wealthy. It is widely known that graduates often do jobs not befitting of their education and unrelated. Becoming wealthy is often an art, perfected by a few and not 90% or anything like it.

I'm quite sure that if we reject possibility of eventual military invasions, the only way how Poland could not overtake so called "west" is that our bribed politicians would move more towards western standards of economic mindset. Government do this, goverment do that.

This is most certainly true. Noticable in adverts for high paid jobs where it says "experience is a must".

IT is a good job to get into in Scotland as there is a lacking of IT skilled people.

But we are talking about countries, not individuals.

Exactly, technikum qualified people can fill in some of those gaps. They possess the required IT skills. I see Greg hasn't written back, hehehe. Obviously, he's brewing up sth through research, taking it very seriously

there are thousands of it graduates leaving schools, colleges and universities every year. Those positions will be filled by scots.

The real shortage of skills are medical profiles, such as dentistry, doctors and nurses

If that were true...these posts wouldn't be needing to be filled at all. As with these ones...


When will you get the point that there are not enough Scottish people to do these jobs. Hence the title of the thread!

its a very straight forward operation to remove them and you will find your breathing improves no end.......oh,sorry,you meant Poles,right,thought you meant Britain had caught a bad E N T condition....


er,look on a map,we are west........no so called about it.

Who are "we"?

Yes Greg, but individuals live in countries in u hadn't already noticed. Not space capsules

Good article. Migrants contributing towards the prosperity of the country is what we want. Poland should be encouraging potential migrants here to research their options b4 leaving for Scottish shores. Finding a job is a job in itself for some. Scotland is not the land of milk and honey.
