What those Brit guys should do now, is either find something else to do, or get better/more reliable at their current job, and make themselves employable… Or they could turn the tables, and go to Eastern Europe…
Whingeing and carrying on about people ‘taking’ their jobs is a waste of time and energy. ‘Their’ jobs are not going anywhere, and it’s only (IMO) through the thinly disguised fascism exhibited by the daily papers (like the Mail etc) that this view even exists….
Fact is – it’s a round world, and a much smaller one since the invention of the aeroplane, and it will only get smaller… So we will have more immigrants in years to come, and need to come to terms with this.
We don’t believe in a class/caste system in this country – the general belief that your circumstances at birth do not dictate your possible life choices is one even the most rabid of Mail readers will agree with… So how is being born in another country any different to being born upper/lower/whatever class?
If we believe that people are defined by their actions in life, and that being born poor doesn’t make you a lesser person than someone born rich, then that should apply to being born in this country or another…
Most immigrants make a good (and in some cases better) contribution in terms of taxes etc to this country than a lot of people who are born and bred here. If they are willing to work harder, be more reliable, and cost less than Brits, then I for one say fair play to them. Trying to stop them doing so because they might take your job strikes me as another version of bringing others down to make oneself feel better – a life skill that should be left in the school playground where it belongs…
