            Just goes to show they don't understand the problem at all, (assuming there are jobs to be had) how are people going to afford the £90 train fare or the £100 per night accommodation costs when they're on NMW?
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              Benefits of course.

                Same way as the Romanian & Polish afford it.

                Our production lines are all staffed by fit and well qualified eastern europeans because the locals don't want the jobs sad but true.

                However as the local MP they should be trying to generate jobs not talking about discrimination.
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  They could try sharing a bedroom with the rest of their eastern european fruit-picking contemporaries. Then they might realise how bleeding lucky they are to be living in a country which for years has demanded nothing in return for wads of free cash than that they watch Jeremy Kyle all day, and vote Labour at every election!!!

                      Is that all?

                      I'm on my way...

                      (Not really. But I left the West Midlands where it was nearer 11% for Cheshire where it's between 3½% and 4% where I am.)
