Thats my mantra. The foreigners are here for one reason, money, if people did not employ them or buy from them, they will leave as fast as they came.

to f--king right

Money does tend to be the main motivation right enough. Cut that supply and things don't look so rosy. Still, don't you like the products they offer? They like stews in delis, bigos being the main one.

I am a Dubliner, I have my own recipes for stews. Their cuisine is below par, it does not rate with the French, Italian, or Spanish. When they leave, nobody will miss it.

It's not the best for summer, that much is true. It's generally stodgy, warming food.

Job specification has become a more flexible art these days, RN. Some non-conventional requirements are clearly being met by Poles as they are hired quite often abroad. Many can turn their hand to different things and that stands them in good stead.

Careerist has a different connotation in Poland. They are not like the Americans or Japanese in this regard. They go through a rigorous testing process at Uni and then change direction abroad. I've seen and heard about this many times.

They are cheap labour. Hence why so many of them are being poached to come over and work in the UK and Ireland to waitress in bars and restaurants!

And Britain has no minimum wage? ;) ;)

Often overlooked, I know of three eastern euros who where promised the world but are now being paid well below the minimum wage washing dishes in a hotel.

People who are desparate for work are often taken advantage of this doesn't just happen to Poles, good, honest recruitment agencies are few and far between. More people less jobs, means the agencies can pick and chose and do as they like, people don't complain because that isn't going to pay their bills.

Even in C Isles we pay tax from £8K or so upwards, actually the real benefits are for the super- rich who pay much less than they wd anywhere else.

I reckon you never paid any, that's why you don't know!

Ragtime is a raghead so you might just have something there ;0)

Yeah and the sad fact that perm jobs are being replaced by temp contracts to take the financial responsibilities off the employer, makes the situation in the UK even worse, of course there are perm jobs, but they are becoming less and less as the years go by. Casual labour is what future holds, no job security and low pay for the masses. Of course those in high places will command massive payments for their contracts :0)

Agencies are wastes of space. I joined a couple to see how they worked and they were scummy pieces of turd. They must have wondered why I turned down all the jobs they put my way.

Unfortunately, getting a job without an agency these days is pretty hard so, most people don't have a choice.

The British trade union movement has been smashed, thanks to mass immigration. No wonder big business and the government are cheerleaders of the multicult. Sickening.

The champagne socialists try and unite the workers, foreigner and native, when it is obvious to anyone with a brain that the foreigner is no friend of the native worker. The foreigner brings down wages and conditions while pushing up rents and prices. Champagne socialists make me sick.

You just need a clear picture of what you want to do and find those who can put you in the picture, Shelley.

Hi All

I think a lot of people are making a fuss about something thats easily answered, yes i to once upon a time used to think it was criminal to employ Foriegn individuals for the hour and pay often stated , however i recently started working with in the recruitment sector and have found that most English workers just dont turn up for work or they are late on a regular basis so i think employers are right not to employ from within the home grown sector, for example I posted an add for warehouse staff and had a least 50 polish and 6 english individuals apply for the post I intervied all and selected 4 from england born and bred and 10 from the polish candidate list and guess what all 4 english candidates failed to turn up for work on the First Day and the pol's turned up at least 40 mins prior to there shift so that they could get a feel of the site prior to starting thier shift.

so I ask you who would you employ and why, I feel that most born outside of the Uk are more productive and proactive.

out of all this the only concerning issue is that british or english individuals are now getting tarinshed by the same brush and not everyone is the same as i do have a least 30 english hard working candidates on my books.

I know of more than 20 polish workers where i work that are useless but it means nothing, there are useless people from every culture.
The best companies i've worked for pay a decent wage so naturally they atract the better workers.
Pay peanuts and you get monkeys!

Does your company operate zero hour contracts? That's a nice new trick you lot have devised. I also dont believe for one minute that "all" the Brits failed to turn up! Or if they didnt maybe they got better offers....

Nah, he's just some grad who started his new job and most probably has a Polish girlfriend.

If someone offered you a job abroad at 5x what you earn in the UK, you would be "more productive and proactive" as well. You aren't comparing like with like.

There are plenty of lazy, uneducated, unskilled Poles, so end this treacherous anti-British crap right now. I work with a range of ethnicities and races, and there are hard-working and lazy people amongst all of them.

The difference is, if you were in Poland and the situaltion was reversed, none of the foreigners would get jobs at all!

Nah, he's just some grad who started his new job and most probably wants but can't get a Polish girlfriend.

corrected ;) lol

100% correct. I've gone from being a property owner to finding it near-impossible to even get a private tenancy, after 12 years of EU and New Labour treachery. Priced out of every city I've ever lived in.

Really what is the difference between left and right nowadays?Both bless mass immigration.

And anyone who disagrees is labelled "the fash" or "Nazi scum"!

Leaving the EU would solve alot of the problems over night as it wouldn't be so easy to come here in the first place.

Thats why UKIP is getting my vote in the next general election.

Sure, wouldn't be so easy to get the cheap cigarettes and booze so beloved of your average UKIP voting blockhead.

Can't wait to see the fury on the face of all the UKIP voting pensioners with winter apartments in Spain when they realise that being outside the EU means comprehensive, humiliating border checks.

Well all that cheap booze and fags comes at a cost to the tax payer so thats only a good thing that it would stop, besides think of the health benefits.

The border checks would be no different than it is for people from norway or switzerland, still it would be worth it and iam sure that these people are aware of the affect that leaving the EU would have.

I can see that you aren't too clued up on EU politics.

The EU have made it very clear to the UK in the past that if they leave the EU, there won't be any favours along the type given to the EEA countries and Switzerland. It's just not an option on the table to leave the EU and still retain all the benefits of membership.

Norway (and the other EEA countries) pay quite a bit each year to the EU as well, without having a say. Take the Schengen treaty - Norway and Iceland were facing immigration checks into the Nordic countries, to which they had historically no frontier controls. Schengen was effectively forced on them through the carrot and stick approach - and now, if the EU decides to change something about Schengen, Norway and Iceland don't have a voice.

Switzerland also had to agree to quite a lot to maintain their position - the most notable one is Schengen, but they had to agree to quite a few things, such as the freedom of movement of EU nationals in Switzerland (and the right to live and work there) in order to maintain the benefits that they get, such as no tarriffs on their goods.

The EU made it very, very clear to Switzerland that unless they agreed to implement a huge chunk of EU legislations and treaties, then every agreement would be torn up and Switzerland would become like Ukraine or Russia to the EU. The same would happen with the UK.

Do you seriously believe that the EU will want to keep giving UK nationals ease of access

As for our Irish member - do you want a return to pre-1993 when you could only cross the Irish border at certain approved crossings and be subject to Customs controls whenever you cross? Thought not...

What has that got to do with the EU?
