Why are millions of Eastern Europeans doing jobs lazy Brits wont do, the people on here seem to be ignoring that point then?

You think lazyness is the only possible explanation for why, for example, growers can't find British labour to pick the fruit and veg?

must be when millions of british families are on it having never worked a day in their life. Until recently there was no cap on the amount you could claim.

What is your explanation then for using Eastern European labor at the same time you have fit and healthy british labor parked on welfare for years! Perhaps stop the welfare tell the Brit to go pick the fruit and veg or they get nothing, see what happens

Exactly. Cite some credible sources for this theory.

Asking us to disprove something that has not yet been proven.

HROwen, you're going to have to do better than that.

Oh well, that confirms it then. One of them talking about it clearly means they're all in exactly the same situation.

Its pretty simple Eastern Europeans do the jobs Brits dont want to do or more explicitly dont 'have' to do when welfare provides a more attractive option. Migrants dont come to the UK to bludge the system same as the immigrants who come to the US. If there were no jobs they wouldnt come. Stop the welfare give the lazy Brit an ultimatum of doing the jobs offered to them see what happens.

There aren't any. He's talking about 'millions' of Eastern Europeans doing jobs Brits won't do. Given there aren't even 'millions' of Eastern Europeans in the UK, never mind ones doing menial jobs, he's clearly just got a touch of the Daily Mailitis.

Brilliant. I had no idea Andy Capp was still around! And, I love the fact that a dozen or more folk have time/inclination to comment on a little comic strip!!

Shame in a way, even though we all knew it was a troll we had fun playing with it for a while. Although yes, good call Christmas. We shouldn't be encouraging her/him :lol:
