Re: No Foreigners
From my own view, UK companies have deliberately recruited from abroad to keep the wages low. Save on paying towards UK pensions, sickness pay and holidays. They have also benefited from casual contacts instead of permanent contracts, so it's been a win, win, situation all around for them. Probably could be classed as modern day slavery. This all goes back to Blair and his allowing 3 million into the country. They had to have work, so our own workers suffered and everything changed.
With all that in mind, if the foreign workers go home or become fewer, then British Nationals will have more full time jobs, contribution towards pensions paid by companies, permanent contracts, higher rates of pay , and far fewer benefits claimed. Those on benefits, might be able to find work that gives them enough to pay their rent.
It's all very well for our generation of home owners to cast bad thoughts about those on benefits such as family tax credit, ( and most are not the scroungers), but if you have a family to feed have to pay the travel costs to get to work , which quite often is a healthy amount, as in this area you are required to look for jobs up to an hours travelling distance, all the bills and then on top of that find £600 to £700 per month rent plus council tax , part time hours do not even scratch the surface.
So yes, I agree fewer foreign workers are needed, give our young families full time jobs, and a decent working week, which includes family time together instead of staggered shift patterns where mum and dad pass each other in the doorway and children are left to their own devices. So far as people not wanting to do the jobs, that is a complete load of bull sh..t. If our young people work abroad, what jobs do they do ? The same as janitors, fruit picking, cleaners, hospital porters etc. etc.
Why should British Nationals with part time work be paying towards benefits and child tax credits for foreign workers ?
