I wasn't digging you out Truebrit,

I can see some concern with a huge influx of migrant workers, however some people do not put their point across very eloquently.

Let me give you an example, if say a British bricklayer earns 500-600 pounds per week, has a wife and kida and a mortgage that he knows his salary will cover, and a migrant worker comes to UK to do the same job but accepts say 300 pounds. Why should a Bricklayer trained in the UK have to struggle in that field. It doesn't mean he is lazy, just very unfortunate.

I believe that if it affected other fields of work like IT to use an example it would cause some unrest i'm sure.

I would just like to see some stability on earnings so as undercutting doesn't become such an option, or at least not to the extreme that it has happened.

I am all for people fighting for work, but by quality and ability alone.

I don't have any problem with migrant workers before anyone starts to berate me, that is an issue for the goverment.

Oh balls did any of that make sense, i find it hard to concentrate on a friday when the weekend is looming..

Have a good one..

And i still think we should keep our accent. If all people spoke in exact same way it would be boring :)
And yes sometimes you are judged by your accent especially when it comes to getting a job but i like my polish accent :)

Amen to that, no accent more beautiful than a Polish one. :)

I would gladly take whatever Polish who would care to move to Reading, PA. The current influx of folks in my town is Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. They have a low standard of living, trash up the town and 80% of their children have high hopes of being in a gang one day. On a positive note, hardly any of them are specialized enough to affect my area of the job market. They can gladly take all of the manual labor and grocery store/fast food restaurant jobs. My town is becoming a true ghetto.

I think poles should tip their hats to us or bow when they walk past the the british in a street.
Maybe they should take their jacket off and cover a puddle with it when a brit walks across.

That being said maybe you should go play in traffic
