Matyjasz,I agreewith your points, just,do you really think that makes a difference to the average working class brit who has seen a freeze on wage increases since 04 and in many cases a falling wage?
I’m sure that me giving a speech about the importance of being competitive in today’s global market to him would make the same effect as trying to explain to my aunt that now she will have to make four times the way she used to go to her local hospital, as the one near her was closed because of the lack of staff who emigrated to the west.
I know that it’s easy to say to that average brit that he should be more competitive and that it is how the free market works when the case doesn’t concern me personally but, as banal as it may sound, it’s just the way the world spins. Not much I can really do about it aside for feeling for him. The worst thing is that you really don’t have to have an influx of foreign workers to your country to lose your job being working class. The case of Nokia relocating it’s plant to Romany due to cheaper costs of production (2 300 German workers jobs at stake) is the best example for that.
The only groups to benifit from this visably are the immigrants and big buisness.
What exactly do you mean by big business. A pub owner employing polish bartenders? A shop or restaurant owner employing polish staff? A brit who hires polish plumbers to help him out in his house?
