Reply to: Labour's 'secret plan' to lure migrants

[Tarquin Farquhar]

With the usual sprinkling of psychopathic killers thrown in for good measure.

Obviously it helps enormously if they come from some failed African tuliphole and are familiar with the use of firearms, preferably the AK47.

For sale: AK47 African model.

Good condition, only been dropped once.

Labour plan another 20,000,000 people here from diverse backgrounds, mostly non-English speaking, non-Christian and non-educated.

Enjoy.

Well who else is going to do the crappy jobs now our social underclass have been given a lesson in entitlement without responsibility?

The point is, we are supposed to prove that it works.

Are you failing to make it work?

I hate to say it , but I think xoggoth is right. Differnet people find it hard to mix because they are different in the first place. I mean people can hate each other within communities , families , friends. It is very hard to mix with someone different. In many years globalisation will change thinking , just will take time.

Whatever the so called moral arguments, in practice you won't find a country in the world where ethnic diversity actually works.

And you won't find a country where more people equals less crowding.

Mate the market for my skill for a UK contractor is 450 - 500 ( high level Sharepoint admin ).

For myself 425 is a score , 350 is awesome , 300 is a great job. I have been considering 250 from 3 months back , and this now keeps going down.

Then that's the market rate. The market rate is what you can get - not what you used to get.

This just shows why we dont need immigrants. If you had been English it would have occurred to you that you could have sworn at him in Russian. So you could have acheived your TWO main objectives
1. securing a £100 cut for the agents pocket
2 whilst still managing to get a good swear in

You are right , but it is worth it considering all the english gals that have had the pleasure of looking at ( not touching ) my sexy exercised body.

From your (admittedly brief) explanation, it sounds like you fell at the first hurdle. Agent was trying to batter you down a bit (maybe by £25 a day?) you swallowed the lot.

If you're happy then all well and good, but I reckon you'd have got £350 out of him.

I know , if he calls I will tell him 350 , and if he says but you said 300 , I will say take it or leave it.

I am a bit gutted about this particular case.

I did say yes outright to a 100 cut because at the moment contracting is something of a plan B for me . I act on the premise that "there are no contracts or almost impossible to secure" for myself and I am turning to the web and will get myself out of this tulip.

Interview!!

I spoke with an agent yesterdat for 400 / day , he called today says 300 for an interview. I took a 5 sec pause , not really thinking about it , but rather mentally calling him all words I know , and then said yes

Hey NewBlood -how did interview go?

[DodgyAgent]

Agent who got me my current role tried to knock me down 10 quid a day AFTER I'd secured the role!

Old Eurolink trick, I am surprised they bothered to even negotiate. Usually they just do it anyway . Eurolink also used to hike the rate to the client by 10%

[EternalOptimist]

I have been here in the UK for 3 years from Eeastern europe.

Like everything else around here the media have you thinking what not except the truth.

Your employer does not care about you at all. He cares about paying less and as long a cheap migrant is good enough they might give them a job. And yes they need cheap migrants to undercut the market. And no government WILL EVER CHANGE THAT ! except that bmp tulip.
