    Yeah but non-eu also means Aussies, Kiwis and South Africans and there are a few of them on this board! I am sure you could/would do what they do.

    It's always people at the lower end of the food chain that complain about furriners the most.
    And judging by his posts on here, CyberCretin must be a real bottom feeder.

    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.

    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?

    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?

    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.

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

    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.

    We've already seen the problems at Total which could have got nasty. I remember the miners strike in the early eighties when some grisly murders occured. Desperate people do desperate things.

    80% of the workers in Dubai are foreign.

    They look stuffed.
