Brightness being perfect is not what it's made out to be, i find it hard sometimes,
I was involved in an RTA when a woman who was out of her skull carreered into my lane of traffic. I was stationary and she was doing about 60 (according to the police). She dragged my car onto the pavement and where my seat belt locked I had such bad whiplash that it damaged the nerves in my spine

Brightness said:Sorry to hear that Splinter
Isn't there some sort of legislation that stops them from working on building sites unless they speak perfect English? Or do they?
I know other countries impose these restrictions against British people, also if a foreign pharmacist comes to work in UK they have to go to one of our Uni's for a year and qualify in UK pharmacy law and stuff before they are allowed to practise
Get real
why do you think my partner is woking for £112.00p per week
allwe want to do is pay our way and some smart xxxxxxx says we need foreign workers in this country to take the job vacanties
splinter said:
When this discussion last came around someone made the point that if foreign workers are paid such low wages, by the time they have paid for lodgings, food, transport, clothes etc. there would be precious little left over to send back home. Also, most of them will be paying income tax, so I don't think it can be said that they don't contribute to our economy.
I do sympathise with your situation Splinter, but to me it seems hypocritical for us to complain about immigrant labour when British-born people are living and working in countries all over the world, and as Brightness said earlier a lot of these will in fact be bringing foreign earnings back into the country.
All i 'll say is the wise one will have his views on this.

splinter said:pickles said:It's just about simple economics, it's got nothing to do with where people are from or what colour they are. If they are cheaper they get the work. That's why all the s**t jobs are done by foreign workers. They cost nothing don't have a union or a pension fund, can be sacked at will if they get sick or old and and don't go to an IT about it. The firm keeps it's margin up and sells cheap to the great british public. There's a market for cheap labour and they fill it. It started in the 1950's when no one born here wanted to work in low pay and low status jobs in transport and such like so half of Jamica and the carribean emigrated here to do the work
Would you all be prepared to pay more to ensure that only people like Splinter born and bred in the uk did the work
I doubt it[/quo

I wasn't suggesting you were doing a **** job and apologise if I caused any offence. I just meant that most **** jobs are done by foreign workers now. They are also undercutting proper trades like yours as well. The point is that people want cheap goods and services and unfortunately your misfortune is the price that has to be paid for it. I would personally give some thought to what I was doing and be prepared to pay a bit more for it for the greater economic good. It is not in anyones interests for you to be put in the situation you are in
There is an unavoidable logic to a system based on profit like ours. Whoever gives the lowest price for a given standard gets the work and human nature being what it is no one thinks about the wider consequences of this. Political and economic systems that do are based on Socialist principals and we can't have that can we, we've got New Labour instead, in love with the corporate clones
I work in a small high street firm and yes I am under a lot of pressure from big organisations that can undercut me
