Its interesting that they can't even do the factory jobs or the agricultural labourer jobs that their ancestors would have done throughout history.They not only don't fit into high tech/service/whitevanman jobs they can't do anything.
So true. And the chips on their shoulders stops them from trying.
Then pretending not to be able to pronounce the name 'Yuri'. :rolleyes:
Oh I've met people like that, any kind of 'foreign' name is a problem and they make a feeble attempt at best.
Carpenter has been working on the continent for 8 years.
I wonder why he went abroad, more money perhaps?
I didn't know Poland and Lithuania were 3rd world countries.
Did anyone watch a similar (ish) programme a couple of years ago called "The Poles are Coming!". The documentary maker stood outside the job centre in Peterbrough and asked the locals if they were willing to do some jobs that were available, such as working in a factory and for a local farmer, the response was along the lines of "no chance, that is beneath us".

What some people don't seem to realise is that for immigrants this is BIG money due to the standard/cost of living in their own country.
If Brits could go abroad and get paid £25/hr for picking fruit/veg then it would be interesting to perform a similar "experiment" with the locals in such a country. I would also imagine that those who would travel abroad for work are not typical of their country.
However, I didn't watch the programme so I don't know what agenda the impartial BBC will push.
i dont normally moan about what people have etc. But it really does annoy me when i see people who dont work have all the latest gadgets, large flat screen tv's in each room, sky + subs etc. It amazes me that they can afford all of this and be jobshy too.

Whats wrong with saying that? Its almost true. And have any of youy actually been to Wisbech. Its been destroyed by this invasion.
The trouble is that those who are ill are not believed because of the others
That was so patronising...talk about spouting a load of bollocks.
I think in this country we have bred an entire service based industry.
When I was at secondary school 6 years ago (normal school!) - it would have been seen to be 'bad' to go from school to working in a factory etc.
Even careers advisors etc. inclined people towards service and hi-tech industry.
No wonder that factory work is seen as 'bad' when that's what is being taught in schools
:cool:
I find people like that totally exasperating.
Rang the company to say he couldn't attend because he'd been out the night before, didn't get in till midnight and then didn't feel well.
Hungover more like!! :mad:
Pretty certain that is the common consensus
Unemployed 5 years and some jobs are beneath him he says, or words to that effect. He is certainly a catch.

Giving the young lad such a hard time - yes he needs a rocket up his backside but not from those two
Would it be real if it was more anti-immigration?
