    Wrong, They pay taxes and spend money here as well, they just send thier savings (which to them is a huge amount of money) back to thier own countries.

    Remember it is the poles doing all the tulip jobs that our workshy benefits scroungers can't be arsed to do. We need them to keep the country running!!

      If we were swapping out 1 workshy chav for 1 hard working Pole I'd agree.

      But instead the job is going to the Pole (and who can blame the employers for hiring them) and Chav is still on benefits and the bulk of the Poles money is going out of the country.

      How this helps the UK long term I don't undertand?

          The fact remains that the problem is not with the Pole, the problem is with the workshy chav.

          A mass chav cull would do the job, we could poison mcdonalds to make sure we get most of them and then a shot to the head for any left over.

            Now that would be cool. Put the brakes on any over-population concerns by adopting a '1 out, 1 in' policy - a la busy nightclubs.

            'tis genius.

              Pfft, if they can't afford to do the tulipe jobs, they are being given too much for free. If you have no money you have no right to live in a 3 bed house with digital TV and Internet access. You should instead group together with others who can't afford a place and house share like uni students do. I remember 5 of us living in a 3 bed house at uni where the downstairs rooms were used as bedrooms, this made rent affordible!!

              The problem with the benefits system at the moment is that it doesn't give you what you need to survive, it gives you the ability to live in moderate luxery.

                Agree we need a two pronged attack.

                1. Restrict immgrants only to skilled, young, english speaking, healthy people looking to work.
                2. Conscript all the unemployed and uneducated into the military and send them on-masse to all the world deadliest trouble spots to be killed.

                  I think you should aim higher with your 'luxuries'...

                      The fact is though, if carp jobs paid better, more of the indigenous population would be willing to do them. Cheap immigrants exasperate the situation. I pity the poor sods having to compete against those impossible odds.
