    It's cheaper because they're sharing.
    If 19 UK people wanted to do it they could except they don't because they want a room to themselves and don't want to share.

    We fought for better living conditions. Why would UK residents want to erode those rights.

    Work should pay more, not workers live on less.

    I think this is funny, foreigners teaching foreigners how to speak English and to learn about our country - A country they are not familiar with ..

    The Government allow language schools because it brings in money for the country.

    They don't even speak particularly good English themselves.

    Makes it more understandable why the english is bad with some foreigners..if they are being taught by their own kind well it does make more sense.

    My wife is Polish and her dad has lived here since 2004.. Her younger brother has never left Poland. I couldn`t believe when I found out her Dad was paid child benefit for his son for 7 years until his son was 18 even though he`d never been here :o

    It's like that in Gravesend now..

    Also I think in my town we have more Eastern Europeans coming in that ever now... Well it does feel like that when you walk down the high street and they are gabbling away to themselves..

    And your problem is? I "gabble" away to myself and friends/family as well when I'm walking down the street. Why would I want you to know my business? I don't have anything to tell you and neither do they. So as far as you're concerned for all the input you would have into my conversation, I could be speaking another language...so why do you care if they do it in Polish?

    Russell brand used to teach in one of those he said he used to shag all the women :D thats why he got sacked. Seemed like that particular school had no standards hiring him.

    So - I wonder if he might be able to find a job if he stopped being so picky.

    Even if he doesn't love the first job he gets, at least he would have something on his cv.

    Why is he looking for jobs for £25-£28k?

    It's not that I care, it's the fact that there are more and more coming into the town then ever. Heck Morrisons has a distribution centre here and out of all the employees there 1% are english.. It makes it a very unpleasant place to work for the english people.

    That's a separate issue though isn't it.
    It's not something that's the fault of immigrants.

    The big bosses and property owners are peeing themselves that instead of them getting the blame and being pressured into changing everything is being blamed on Johnny Foreigner.

    Because if UK workers had no competition from immigrants, companies would have to pay more to employ the UK workers.

    Of course it is the fault of immigrants.

    They are eroding our rights. And yet it is also the fault of Landlords and bosses for allowing it to happen too.

    Which is why they like immigrants.

    I don't honestly care one way or another. Difference is it is like water off a duck's back to me compared to some of you guys frothing at the mouth over it all.

    Some just need a reality check about the 21st century. Guess what? Borders are becoming less relevant around the world. 20th century nationalism is long dead and people are vastly more mobile. You can move to any western country you want if Britain is repulsing you so. Go to Australia, America, Germany etc etc and you will be meet with all the same problems.

    With 19 people paying rent compared to 4 or 5 UK residents, it is no wonder a landlord wants the immigrants.

    Even at £55 each, that is more than 4 UK residents would pay.

    If you think nationalism is dead.... think again. Nationalist parties are doing very well across Europe. Do you know London? , do you know the South East? Have you seen the problems that go on here? Britain doesn't repulse me, the morons in Government who have allowed our country to become the way it is now repulse me. I don't froth at the mouth either.
