13% of workers in UK are Non-UK

[Cyberman]

@Cyber - weren't you banging on about getting a job paying 45000 Euros the other day, and gabbling on about how you were able to claim benefits whilst living in Germany?

This thread is about non-EU workers.... approx 2.6 million of them working in the UK at this moment.
If I can get a job in Germany, all well and good, but that is not an option for most British workers. We have 65,000 workers in Germany incidentally, and only 11,000 in Italy.

This thread is about non-EU workers....

So why did you trouble to mention EU workers in your OP?

four times as many people work in the UK from EU countries than we have working in the EU from the UK.

BTW four times as many ... as ...

That was the headline Migrationwatch figure, but my main point is about non-EU workers which we are allowed to control but clearly fail to do, and makes up two-thirds of the 3.8 million.
EU workers are outside of UK control, although we have four times as many in the country than we export of our own labour to the EU... that also seems a tad unfair, but there is nothing we can do about it.

That was to give a like for like comparison, as it was 7.5% in 1997. So almost double what it was thanks to HMG.

Yeah, that foreign doctor what saved my kids life, he can feck off.

And the taxi can drive itself.

And we can get a Frenchy to cook my curry/kebab/chow mein.

And serve me and clean the floor in Waitrose.

Do we have any non-EU idiots we can replace you with?

Or maybe there's a couple of service packs that need applying to him to fix his logic circuits and stop his bulltulip circuits from overriding his system?

As usual, you are a little late cyberman.

It makes no sense to come from EU to England. The pound is so rubbish that everywhere else in Europe you get higher salaries. Even Italy, Spain and Portugal are now more appealing than Britain because in comparison you almost earn more if you view it from the point of view of a foreign currency. You should rather worry about people staying in your country,both foreigners and no-foreigners, before the exodus will bring your country economy to a total collapse.

Probably just premier league footballers...

I’ve never seen a non EU worker doing a job that I would want to do myself, doctors don’t count as I’m too old for med school.
