Well, there is already an entire thread dedicated to Poland's geographical position within Europe so we don't need to turn this thread into one. ;)
Yes, independent jewellers, like most independent retailers carry their stock in their cars and vans in order to transport from wherever they have purchased their stock from. Not everything is delivered to them. Whether or not their insurance covers this I do not know, I would be surprised if it did but there might some loop hole.
noimmigration, as the article clearly states there is no ID to these attackers other than they are "Eastern European" so if you feel strongly enough that they are Polish then perhaps you'd like to go undercover on the streets of Glasgow and prove this point to us once and for all. If not, then accept that the real identity of these thieves is not known.
Also very interesting that MPs are again disagreeing with a professor who has looked at the data. I wonder who view point to believe MPs or a scientist!!!
I would hope a bit of both, but it is true that we cannot sustained the influx of migrants from none EU countries, we have more than enough labour both professional and none professional from within the EU to cover our needs.
The NHS has changed it's recruitment policy and they were one of the largest recruiters from outside of the EU, things change and the population of the UK has changed to a degree we no longer need to source from outside of the EU.
Why dont we welcome people ? Scottish can be welcome in Poland...and Polish in scottland.... even asian or african can be welcome... migration is not bad...is it?
I think it's also an interesting point that the professor in question is an immigrant himself:
strath.ac.uk/economics/staff/wrightrobertprof/
He was born in Trenton, Ontario, Canada in 1958. He studied at the University of Western Ontario, the University of Michigan, the University of Stockholm and the National Institute of Demographic Research in Paris.
Maybe they don't trust him because of this fact and regard him as bias.
It's a tough question for sure. The only thing we can realistically do is to dish out disincentives to coming. U can't physically cap the level of immigration by turning people away or issuing a VISA system which would cut against the grain of the EU.
I don't want to imply that we should close the door and be recalcitrant. More, we should acknowledge that we have a problem in place so we should lower benefits for immigrants and toughen the procedure for getting them.
It's a natural response, to send out a message that the UK should be no mecca. The fact remains tho, that many immigrants have put roots down in the UK and have a settled intention to stay there. Britain must roll with the punches
Once again Scotland getting mixed up with UK stats. In direct contrast to the rest of the UK, Scotland needs immigration - news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/7494864.stm
As I keep on saying - this is a London based government trying to adapt UK stats to Scotland - it just doesn't work. Look at the link - this is what the Scottish government are doing to encourage immigration - is there a London based government equivalent ?
It doesn't seem clear but the whole things stems from immigrants outside of the EU. I was listening to something about this on the radio this morning.
noimmigration - the reason they want a cap in Scotland is because of the rapid growth in population and they've made a forward prediction. It's more about the future rather than the here and now. Right now we do need the immigrant population.
Many Poles fit in well in the hotel and catering industry. I've met some decent people in Inverness and Glasgow. I wonder how they cope with demanding Brits. They like to hear Polish from a Scot.
right now britian is in recession this means business is constricting employment oppertunities which means we dont need migrants coming and taking jobs.
Thread attached on merging: Pole suspect 'echoes Fritzl case'
look at this news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7605119.stm
Did you actually read the whole article ? Or did you selectively just latch onto a few words ?
I read the article online this morning, It's a fairly well balanced article <which makes a change for the Daily Mail> It shows that UK employers are getting worried because the Polish workforce seems to be drying up in the UK and it is reported that single Polish people are heading home, but Polish families who have worked for at least twelve months are staying and hoping to see the through the recession, as they are here for the long haul.
The point is that child benefit would be higher here in the UK because we have a higher standard of living and the cost of living is very much higher than in Poland.
You show yourself up by taking an article and highlighting it but not having read it properly. You should read it first before you post. This is another reason why it is more than apparent you are not a University student.
