A very interesting point was raised on the Mathew Wright Show today

[Bobbisox]

Are foreign workers really taking our jobs?
or as a Nation, are we too lazy?
Who really is to blame?
The company's for exploiting foreign workers by paying them a lot less?
This is always an emotive topic so let me state here and now, I am not being a Racist bigot

[Bobbisox]

Mike come out come out wherever you are, at least you give some good points x

[Bobbisox]

immigrant workers and Britain and it's benefit system go hand in hand,

[jackthehat]

I'm confused...........

Are they migrant workers, or are they on benefits ?

Just going to have my supper and watch Corrie. Have enjoyed it though, am going to change my userid to AOG (v 2).

[mike11111]

Again I think the point is being missed. I am sure that immigrants are hard-working for low wages, which entitles the tribes they bring with them to benefits! Do the maths!

[MrJabezClegg]

The hard working ones are hard working and the scroungers are scrounging.

I think peole are getting confused with migrant Workers, Illegal Immigrants and asylum Seekers.
MW, are allowed to work, pay taxes etc like everyone else.
II, cannot be employed, by anyone. and should be booted out.
AS, are not allowed to work until they pass the asylum process.

[China Doll]

What a truly useless thread.

[Euphemia]

I shall be eternally grateful to the foreign surgeon who brought me back from the brink on the NHS last year.....

[Bobbisox]

I really don't understand why you want to participate in it the CD
the benefits I refer to are not the immigrants but the British workers who won't get out of bed to do the work that migrant workers do,
redhelen as I have said, I really can't be bothered with any of your vu=views anyway

[Bobbisox]

<views>

[soaps]

It's hardly useless CC, if it's attracted over 133 reply's, so far.
It really annoys me when people come on a post comments like that! as bobbi says. " I really don't understand why you want to participate"

[Bobbisox]

this is News rh and hardly contentious, unless of cause you want it to be

[mike11111]

Must agree with you to a certain extent Bobbi. Last night one of our regular posters was lambasting the UK as an invading foreign power of somewhere offshore, yet tonight on another thread actively promotes the spending of UK taxpayers' money to members of dubious quasi government organisations. I did mention at the time the phrase, "Having your cake and eating it".

[China Doll]

I don't. Hence why I won't bother.The subect has drifted so much and the OP has agreed and disagreed with themself in equal measure. I don't even understand why it's in news. If you read back, you'll see its all terribly contradictory. That is my objection.

[boxtops]

To be honest bobbi, if you post a contentious question where people have strong views, you are bound to get contentious answers. People have very opposing views on different aspects of this topic.

[Bobbisox]

I know Mike, I try to put a topical bit of News up and have to step on minefields to keep it on track
