40% off our work force is foreign?

Mr Sceptic

No it isn't. You just made that up.

Many foreign workers who come to UK can spell and punctuate basic English, and will work hard, without skiving and whinging. How can you hope to compete with that?

paddymayblue

And I bet they do 60% more work than you.

drifterpantaloons

if the foreigners went home, we'd have like, no workers.
lol...

Memnoch

India would get your overtime. Hey at least if they are here working they help our economy. And it isn't to screw your own it is because companies look at one thing and one thing only, profit. How can they make the most money.

xxoo

W H A T??? no wonder they don't give you any over time,, you can make sense, not very bright,, u can even express your complains clearly,, wise up or you are going to loose your job,, not to a foreign person,, but because you are dumb

lei

You seem to be citing a specific example... not sure what you mean, but if your job is not granting you overtime, maybe you should try to be a little less racist and a little more productive.

mr_sinister

Perhaps it's because they actually want to work? If I could earn twice my salary somewhere else for the same job, then I'd be off like a shot!

Voice of Reason

Mr Sceptic - you're wasting your breath.

97% of all statistics are made up (or did I just make that up)?

I'd love it if they all went on strike for a week then we'd see how much England needs their foreign workers.
i wouldn't hire an English tradesman in a million years give me foreign every time! no sloping off for tea breaks no sitting reading the sun with their bum cracks on display just hard workers who turn up when they say and just get the job done. god bless the east European migrant workers.

DAR

I think that is a high estimate.

eastern_eu

because they can even better speak and write in English than you

Lisa H

only 40%? lol i find that hard to believe its only going to get higher as is non-employment figures for the people who actually are citizens of the country.

primamaria04

well it is SCREW OUR OWN - why they keeps sending jobs overseas and then illegal immigrants are driving down the wage.It has nothing to do with racism but shear economics big business who always screws the lil' guy wants cheaper labor. Americans in their opinion are too expensive to pay so they take advantage of the fact the most immigrants don't know english , are illegal and can't try to get better wages.

vdv_desantnik

know what you mean, its the same in most places

Piltdown Man

Nonsense, it is a few million but not 40% it is nearer to 6% and we could do without them as well if we had the guts

I checked it is around 5.4 %, we could deport them all and live as we always did using British people,

Lawyer

I bet 60 % of Britons live on benefit

kwilfort

Ancient US labor laws.

bert

I think that here, you are only talking about the "legals", what about the unscrupulous employers who employ the illegals,thus stealing the bread from the mouths of the British working man's family ?

sarah m

Im with you, discusting isn't it.

TurdyTrousers

I think you're a racist. I have no idea of my own how, why or whether you do not live in Islington, but take it from me an Bourgeoisie Guardian reader like myself- trying to make Britain a better place by importing wonderful cultural enrichers, like the ones I read about in the Guardian.

They contribute so much to Britain, and I feel so warm and fuzzy voting for Labour.

Heidi 4

Because our government is selling us out. The savings the employers make benefit representaves because they all have stock in these corporations.

We can no longer trust them to look out for us. We need to start being watchdogs on all their votes and get rid of the ones betraying us and those who are looking out for us.

Totally agree with you it's not fair
