They've got no hope. Endless Eastern European migrants willing to work for peanuts is forcing wages down.

Finding somewhere for all the new migrants to live is forcing property prices up.

Never been a worse time to be young and British.

Mod 2
we KNOW each OTHER now ...

sorry ...it was an upset ....

 

[markie]

Regarding joe's post, I'm 37 and I remember when I was about 9-10 ish every shop, every taxi driver, every chip shop owner, every bus driver, every copper etc.. were white, not that I give a fook as long as I get served in a shop, and got home in a taxi, and got a bag of chips, got home on a bus ( thats before 24 hour drinking ) So there's seems to be a boom of lets say non- white's doing these kind of jobs, anyone got any reason why ? or is it that were too lazy to work the hours ? or is the pay too low, or something else. ?

 

[joe-90]

The pay's too low. Benefits are worked out on the amount that a person NEEDS to live on. How can you expect someone to go out to work to earn less than the Government agrees a person needs to live on? In other words, go to work and get evicted or starve.

as a guy who has worked all my life on my knees quote]

Join the club mate.
Knees gone through years of servicing BBs and installations + football and cricket
Used to drink 4 cans of tennants super and still install a CDI and seven radiators in 2 days (11 hours is the record for me)
Or Drive 55 miles every day remove bathroom suites and fit new and still be home by 4pm.
Now i have to be careful but i am in a position to pick and choose

Take care

 

[Big_Spock]

Ah, but have you ever driven 240,000 miles in one year?

 

[Nige F]

[Lagerkhan]

Ah, but have you ever driven 240,000 miles in one year?
