This way the cost of living in the UK is cheap for them so they're quite happy to work for minimum wage, whereas a single British person who lives on their own on minimum wage has to pay all their living expenses from a single paltry wage .
Sorry but I gotta disagree a little, from my own experience.
They don't mind sharing a bedroom with 5 upwards. Most do sleep on the floor.
Yep they will buy a car, usually in their home country, very very cheap (sometimes BMW) But very few costs as no insurance and often no MOT. Just wanna know how they get away with no TAX.
Very easy to work at minimum wage or even below just depends on how many hours are worked and sometimes how many/much deductions.
No offence meant to anyone. This is defo from experience.
