Immigration controls

I have no problem with any of this, International market forces, if we do not compete with the likes of Asia, we'll all be out of work regardless of who comes to this country.

Plenty of work for everyone if they can be bothered getting off their and doing it. Nothing to stop English folk from moving to another European country and taking advantage of cheaper housing, taxes, etc.

is that why you moved to wales , i just seen on the news that nhs prescriptions are now free in wales but got up in england

plenty of work for everyone , open your eyes and look around you, myself i've been made redundant twice in the last 6yrs thru the companies going into liquidation, and the companies had been trading nearly 10 years each. as for international market forces !, yes call centres, help lines, production jobs all going to eastern europe and asia ! just so the companies can make more profit at a cost of employing local people.

so to compete in a international market, lets scrap the minimum wage, social security and all the benefits. the nhs - people with money use bupa anyway, have one tax rate, and bring back the sweat shops and factories oh like the mills that covered liverpool and manchester 100 years ago. you have to protect the living standards in the uk, or let it decline and go back to 100 years ago.

most of the other EU states, put a limit on work permits, to control any surges in immigration, why didnt the uk? , i just wonder if this is the biggest a gov has ever made in a long time.

Who wants to live in England with its paid prescriptions, thats sooo last year

Look, get a skill and find another job, if not, your local supermarket has plenty of vacancies

yes i could go somewhere like poland oh but why are they coming here ? maybe cause its a better standard of life here, and you get paid more, but the more who come here will push down wages, and they will take any job, even the jobs you dont want to do, but you honeslty believe that they will keep doing them jobs, many of the polish who come here have degrees, soon as they can speak a decent level of english, then they will apply and take them jobs.pushing wages down again for even professional and skilled workers. if your a manager and you can get a eastern european to do the job for half the price.. would you or would you give it to a local

iam not against polish or anyone, but they should have controlled the immigration, like the long and never ending process my wife had and has to go thru ! equality...


i want the non british europeans professionals who work in the uk, to take the ielts english test, and get an average of 7 in reading, speaking and writing english, like my wife had to do, most would fail first time, and iam sure you would rather see my perfect english speaking doctor wife than a non british doc. so next time i see a doctor or take my dog to a vet, i can understand a word they say

Our esteemed leader tells the truth as always. Look, its a two-way street, your welcome to work in any EU member state without restriction, and vice-vera for any Pole, German, French, and er fans of Man U. If had a pot of money, I would be gone somewhere cheaper, thats the one great thing about the EU.

I used to work in Malta at the time they weren't in the EU, and they used to moan that joining the EU would be a bad thing. Bet they are not saying that now,with tons of EU money pouring in to pay for projects they could not previously afford. Nor are they moaning about the fact that they can now work in any EU state where previously they required a visa. I'm not moaning either as it means I can enter Malta again without the need for any passport stamps, or extension visas.
