In my area, the council has employed drones with heat seeking cameras to discover "sheds with beds" in our area. I don't blame the immigrants - they are just doing what they have to do to get by. The real criminals are the greedy landlords making money from human misery and deliberate overcrowding.
Thr problem is many economic migrants have been 'sold a deam' which is very different in reality.
We are not doing impoverished people any favours encouraging them to come here to a life of misery ....

The name of the employers/landlords sound Romanian to me .
It is the very immigrants who exploit the impoverished of their own countries .

Re: Does Britain need foreign workers?

Great quote from comedian Al Murray:
"Polish workers: They work twice as hard for half as much".
Some truth in that.

If you lived in a 3 bed house with 16 other blokes, would you want to go home?

See, this is what all the Management Consultants, bought in by the Boards Of Directors in the 70s & 80s wanted to say to the British workforce, but they weren't allowed to, so they used a diluted word "Efficiency".

The sad thing is, here in the UK, many of the most unpleasant, inhuman and unscrupulous landlords are from recent immigrant stock themselves and think nothing of viciously exploiting their own people. They have learned the Thatcherite philosophy well.

Always respected your posts in the past but to bring Thatcher into it 46 years after she was elected brings you post below a level that UJ posts.
