4 out of 5 new jobs go to foreigners

Yes it is. Lots of people consider it wrong to accept payouts and 'charity'... it's traditionally a quality of hard-working Brits but is probably more prevalent in immigrants, who tend to understand the concept of having to work to eat.

Considering the level of benefits against the minimum rate of pay, something has to be done to negate the fact that people are better off on benefits.

Well done... but what have you proved, only that you can add fractions.

[shaunbhoy]

That´s quite a presumption.

Don't waste your time with the uneducated bigot Mich. If they were giving bricks out for stupidity, he would already have enough to wall Britain in..................and that is precisely what he would try and do with them!

Well yes, you're right there.

Nevertheless, I get the feeling that some people will more easily blame someone else for their lot than actually get up and do something worthwhile about it.

Yep, I can add fractions and some people can't. However, anyone with a modicum of common sense and the motivation to visit a library or a nightschool, or even just pick up a second hand maths textbook for 50p can LEARN how to add fractions; the same goes for many other skills.

Adding fractions isn't basic arithmetic. I bet most here would not know how to add 1/4 + 1/11.

I disagree on the first point. If people cannot do simple maths like that how on earth can we expect them not to be bamboozled by statistics and easily ripped off by dubious deals?

If you watched the recent Channel 4 series the fairyjobmother it showed how de-motivated the long term unemployed people where on the program.

2 out of 3 of the families blamed foreigners for their lack of jobs.

Yet the real reason was that none of them could be motivated to look for a job.

Something in his ranting reminds me of Cyberman.

Anyone for a second hand Chutney Spoon?

When it says foreigners I presume it doesn't mean people that have already been granted asylum or have been given British citizenship as well so making the picture look even bleaker?

It probably does, because it is the job of the meejah to make everything look bleak.

Taxation

If there are people who´ll do the job for 25K, how can the ´going rate´ be 50K?

I expect to live in a 2 Bed Room House and pay full tax whereas the guy on 25K is prepared to live in
a hostel with 10 others in a room.
The going rate for foreigners is not the same as the local going rate

I read an article in the Flemish press about 14000 unskilled jobs that no one wants. Its a European problem
