who says we are short of IT staff, i dont think so, the uni are churning out people with degrees. farming is seasonal, who wants or can rely on seasonal work, and yes its low paid and damn hard work. keith a job is a job, but if the job dosn't even cover the basics to live, look at how water has gone up 10% , gas is a joke, same with electric, community charge, everythnig goes up, but my wage is the same or goes up a few %.

as for the professionals going home, my nephew works for an estate agant, a polish architec has just rented a house from them for £1000 a month. like we've all said pinay are not stupid niether are the polish, they will take any job, but not for long they will find better jobs. and then whos going to do the jobs the polish dont want ? polish have in general a better level of education than the uk and most other european countires.
