there is too many British born people here they just do not want to work is too easy to get benefits this country is just to socialistic
We are all members of the EEC, I personally think it has been and will continue to be bad for GB and is impoverishing us, but as we're in it we need to make sure it works for the benefit of us all.
My point was that jobs in the UK are going OUTSIDE the EEC (India, Malasia etc) and countries like Poland - who also have the highest rate of unemployment - have to recruit from outside the EEC.
Your refer to 'the jobs that 'UK workers don't want', isn't it the same in Poland ?
The problem is they don't pay enough to live on, either here or in Poland. As for lack of skills, again employers aren't prepared to pay for them.
It's no wonder for example, that Polish teachers coming here are earning 7 or 8 times the money labouring on building sites.
I have lots of friends in the building trade in particular and they are all struggling to find work because they are being undercut by migrant workers. It's no good telling them that they should work for less, the employers should pay more.
I don't know about state benefits, I've retired due to ill health (cancer) and I get sweet F*ck All after paying into the system all my working life (41 years).
Sadly we are all pawns in the system. I used to get so wound up about the rich and famous avoiding paying their taxes. Now seeing what the government waste it on, I think "good on you ! I only wish I could do the same.
Good luck to you mate if you've found a better life for you and yours. There is a long tradition of friendship between the UK and Poland and long may it continue.
In Birmingham most of our bus drivers are Polish. The problem is most of them don't speak English yet, so it's no good getting a bus unless you know the route and fare !

If you do it today you MIGHT regret it. If you CAN'T do it tomorrow you WILL regret it.
