Are you surprised the construction companies went for the cheaper labour???!!!gazzatt2 wrote:its not an ill informed response its factnut flush gooner wrote:LOL, this is exactly the point I made earlier. An ill informed response with an undertone of prejudice. Do you think that Polish people don't spend any money in this country? I rented a spare room in my old house to a very articulate well educated Polish lad who works in the IT sector. With your attitude people like this would give our country a wide berth.gazzatt2 wrote:it wasn't just unskilled low paid workers moaning many skilled british people thought they would get good jobs building the olympic park
except all the jobs wen to Poles etc who worked for minimum wage
the mass uncontrolled immigration by labour played in to the Tory owned companies allowing them to keep wage costs down to the minimum wage
as for unskilled workers i know people who had jobs paying above minimum wage now only getting minimum wage as they have had no pay rise in the last few years it was like it or leave, if they left the company would take on more polish woman who sent most of their wages home whilst all living in a house rented to them by the owner of the company
And whilst we seem to be on the subject of construction. At least the influx of Eastern European tradesmen now give us an alternative to the indigenous British builders who frankly are a total rip off!
i know the people it affected
of course Polish people spend money in the UK
I'm just pointing out they sent a large amount of money home as they didn't have the living costs of a british person when they was only paying one rent on a crowded house
a lot of people have had there living standard eroded because of this uncontrolled mass immigration
Don't get me going about tradesman in this country. Only when they are fully regulated do they have the right to charge the ridiculous amounts they do, so they won't get away with multiple bodge jobs.
totally wrong assumption there
