I must admit the BBC were successful in fooling me, with their Left-Wing propaganda.

It portrayed the "work-shy" Brits against the "hard working" Eastern Europeans, nothing wrong there one would say, the Eastern Eurpeons certainly did show the Brits up.

But then as this article says, was the show bias? Were these specially selected Brits thrown in at the deep end?

What I ask is "Why were there no "work-shy", Black Brits or "work-shy" Asian Brits included in the team"?

As any manual worker will tell you that you need a period of time to acclimatise to the work. There will be short cuts you are initially unaware of. Therefore comparing an experienced immigrant who has been doing the work for some time with a newcomer is a false comparison

Perhaps the because of where the programme was filmed - Wisbech in Cambridgeshire.

Cambridgeshire's schools have 5.9% black/ethnic minority pupils - so, let's extrapolate that and say that around 6% of the county is non-white.

Perhaps the programme makers found it difficult finding black Britons in the country who wouldn't take on this kind of work, because let's be frank - black Britons often DO take on the very kinds of jobs that white Britons don't.

Does that make sense? Not sure if I explained it properly.

Talk sense EKnewsDS just because you have spotted a few on building sites doesn't prove there are not any.

Incidentally I assume you also saw some white Brits on these building sites?

So all the Black Brits, and Asian Brits are hard-working individuals, whereas all the White Brits just stand around idly doing nothing.

Then they accuse me of being racist?

No-one's saying that - as I said before...they filmed this report in Cambridge (low ethnic population).

Also, you have to ask - how did they actually get the people who were involved on the show? Were they hand picked? Or was it from a general advert in the local paper?

One other thing - I don't think the point of the show was to show up WHITE Britons, it was to show up Britons in general. I'm not sure many people would've clocked the racial angle you've identified.
The right wing press attacking the BBC for bias three months before a General Election. - What a surprise.
its very rare to find a lazy brititsh asian. british asians have an amazing work ethic and this has helped them to build so many sucessful businesses despite the appaling discriminaton and prejudice they have faced in this country. laziness and sponging just seems to be a systemic cultural problem amongst working class whites.

According to racist getto poet

/// laziness and sponging just seems to be a systemic cultural problem amongst working class whites. ///

Any of you hard working whites, care to comment.

Laziness and sponging just seems to be a systemic cultural problem amongst working class Blacks.

All I have done here is to exchange the word White for the Word Black, to getto poet's words, takes on an entire different meaning now doesn't it?

The BBC did, didn't they?

Eastern Europeans v White British, that was the whole point of the programme.
An attack on the Working Class is not Left Wing it's Right Wing !

Earlier in this post I asked for white working class persons to come forward and condemn the above racist post that was posted by ghetto poet.

It is unfortunate that they have not come forward to defend themselves, had the roles been reversed, I feel sure that there would have been numerous shouts of racialism.
