Who benefits from migrants?

[mos]

Graduates are in much the same position the world over. British companies don't generally go to US, German or French Universities either, because they don't need to.

Got you!

And btw - you got most of your staff from India, not from US, Germany or France.

Perhaps the native workers don't enjoy your condescending attitude whereas foreigners see it as an example of English eccentricities?

Not taking work at above NMW because the boss has a "condescending attitude" is part of the problem.

[sasguru]

Don't you have anyone English left on this board you have not insulted yet? So now you have to try your cheap shots on foreigners?

I don't do this sort of things

I'm not sure what you have to contribute to this debate?

In another post you whined about Indians taking jobs that rightfully should be taken by Poles, due to some media conspiracy


Honestly, you couldn't make up stupidity like yours.

You should join your compatriots in the building trade - they might take you as a junior tea-boy.

[lilelvis2000]

so you can live with a family earning £6.31 an hour on a zero hour contract?

You will of course give up the security of £18k in benefits to take the job?

They may be unemployed but they aren't that stupid !

And its entirely possible to work for less than the minimum wage, the employer just insists (verbally) you arrive early and leave late without paying you extra.

Ahh, so it pay to be on benefits then! And its okay for Johnny Foreigner to earn that. Frankly the whole UK business taxation model is broken. With business rates out of whack. Lots and lots of red tape - with more on its way. I don't blame employers for cutting their biggest cost.

Got you!

How? Graduates are a different thing than skilled, experienced workers. It's easy to find graduates in Britain, but you won't find skilled, experienced workers coming out of any university in the world.

We get most of our staff from the UK, actually, and my point was that UK companies don't recruit from foreign universities, even Indian ones. I picked the US, Germany and France as examples of countries that have good universities. I didn't include India as theirs seem to be crap.

FWIW the last time I was interviewing (for skilled, experienced programmers) I gave the nod to two Poles and no Indians. One of the guys we wanted (who I'd worked with before at another client) got another offer from elsewhere. So it's simply not true to say that Polish people can't get good jobs.

TBH I think it's quite bigoted of you to look down on Builders and suchlike as well. We (well, my Landlord) uses a Polish guy who runs his own business, employs several other people and is UK qualified as a gas fitter and sparky. He probably makes more money than me. Perhaps if you put that much effort into your business you wouldn't have so much trouble finding the good jobs?

You have problems with reading comprehension of the simplest text.

Honestly, you couldn't make up stupidity like yours. You should join your compatriots in the building trade - they might take you as a junior tea-boy.

And I find it hard to believe that you are in any gainful employment - judging by the amount of crap you are positing on here.

Anyway, I am not interested in what you do best:

UK would be much more comfortable in the Union with India, Pakistan, Somalia and Nigeria.

Well vote UKIP then, thats what they want to replace the EU...In the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth Unification Movement is sometimes seen as a possible alternative to the European Union and has gained minor awareness due to the escalation of the European sovereign-debt crisis. The UKIP seeks to withdraw from the EU and strengthen ties between Britain and the Commonwealth, which would include the negotiation of a Commonwealth Free Trade Area

You can tell that to those of us who have never worked for British companies.

yes it pays more to be on benefits or roughly the same. You can go to work for less than £10 a week more cash or even less.
