    Life's tough, and if that means moving to London and bunking up eight to a flat, then that's just what they have to do.
    The British working class should have a fair share of the prosperity of more advanced nations. Why should they have to compete with those from poor countries, especially to boost profits of those further up the chain?

    And especially in the crappy marketing company sector that is one of the main employers of low paid migrants. cold callers, junk mail senders etc. Could do without many of them, as with fast food restaurants there is a considerable oversupply.

    We make marketing materials and our clients tend to be multinationals with multi-billion net profits (soft drinks, fast food etc).

    We don't work direct of course; a larger agency gives us work, and my margins are wafer thin (sugar and water must be more expensive than I think!), but my business has continued to deliver a high quality product at rock bottom prices to these large, important companies because of the "pro-business" immigration policies of successive UK governments.

    I don't want to sound racist, but British kids just don't have what it takes. Life's tough, and if that means moving to London and bunking up eight to a flat, then that's just what they have to do.

    And what with the government announcing a cap on what I have to pay my employees (£9/hr in 2020), the outlook continues to look great. I mean £9/hr is a lot of money, but we should be seeing the effects of all that money printing ("quantitative easing") by then (inflation!), so it should all turn out just fine.
