and yet it still happen's the overqualified number is used a lot too something i have no idea how they figure that out but never mind.

My biggest problem among others about migrant workers is the money they earn often goes out the country earning revenue for their own countries, dont care how you sugar coat things its a fact.
All the money going out of our economy is very bad and a lot worse than we all realise.
In response to the BNP debate (forgive me if i am repeating something as i couldnt be a**ed to read every page), Nick Griffins main point at present is the country is FULL.
I am not a racist, being worried about the country i am a citizen and the affect on immigration to it is not racism
We do not need any more people in from any Nationality, we have enough construction workers, nurses, doctors, vets etc etc etc.
Our country cannot sustain any more traffic, we have over-stretched resources, NHS, police etc etc
Cheap foreign labour does nothing apart from line the pockets of greedy companies out to make MORE money,
As an example, my best mates a plasterer who's work is up and down at present and was put in touch with a guy who had some contract work, he called this guy who was Russian and was told he was welcome to come and see him but majority of his workers were foreign.
The shocking thing is they were being paid £1.50 a square metre well below the average of around £5-6 a square metre.
My mate told me he would have to work his nuts off to do 50 metres a day and this was taxable as well.
So the foreign workers are being exploited and we are losing work as a nation while greedy companies are raking it in.
I could go on forever on this subject as there are a lot more con's than there are pro's when were talking about immigration, migrant workers, asylum seekers etc

Nahh and please don't take it personnally.

But if the business is getting by, carry on like you are, make sure the extra effort is being noted..

You will rise the ladder, eventually...

This has been a really interesting thread to read. I'm not going to comment on the political aspect, but as immigrant workers have been mentioned several times, I'll comment on that.

We've had several foreign workers at our place over the last 3-4 years. Hungarian, Russian, Somalian, Czech, Ukrainian, Polish and Portugese. Some have been good workers, some have been lazy and shiftless....just like British workers! We now only have three working there, all of whom have been there for a fair while. Two Polish lads, Seb and Arek, and Jose, who is from Portugal. All three work damned hard, none of them intend to go 'home', all have families here, all are integrating and I consider all three of them good colleagues and friends.

Sadly, it's looking as if there may have to be a couple of redundancies at our place if things don't improve, and I for one would much rather the three mentioned above were kept on than some of the lazy British lads we employ.
