You make good points Fastzombie and yes every effort to help genuine cases of folk who want to go out and get a job, pay their taxes, contribute to
society should be made. Anyone can get in a mess being a human being on this planet and often it's just bad luck, being born in the wrong place, etc.
Yet.................. There is a section of our population that has effectively gone for the free ride ticket and expects the rest of society to pay
for their lifestyles. Fake disabled type for example. Then the partner becomes the carer. Then £60 a day for a 'bath allowandce' assistance. Free
cars! Free houses! Reduced council taxes assuming they still pay that one. Loads of benefits for them too, a cash bonanza!
Lots of people go down the benefits route from age 16 and never have any desire to pay their own way in life.
I'm sorry if you don't like it but I'd have them exported to Australia like the good old days, or Ghana etc. If you don't contribute to society and do
your own fair share, then why the hell should I be paying my taxes to subsidise this stain on our nation. Give me an immigrant any time who want to
make something of their life and rid our state of the work shy locals any day. Something needs to be done for sure their reckoning will come as most
financial contributors to this country have had enough.
ETA, regarding the wage suppression you mention, well the biggest crime was the introduction of minimum wage. That regulated an effective national
wage across the board. I've met women who were pretty well off and did work as a hobby, they didn't need to work yet did so on a very basic wage below
what we'd consider minimum wage, yet they loved it as it got them out of the house and they enjoyed the banter of a work place. The minimum wage
finished so many factories off, this group now is kept out of work even when they were willing to work for very little. Their social life suffered for
this, their factories were exported to Asia. Higher paid workers too have been modelled into the minimum wage area. You are probably right regarding
some employers taking immigrants to reduce the packages offered to locals, yet truth be told and I know this for sure, British youth now no longer
want to do an honest days work. I know people who only want Poles, etc as they work hard, don't feel like they are 'lowering themselves' by doing jobs
many Brit's turn their snouts up at, will do graft without chatting or looking at their phones every few minutes, know that the foreigners have a
decent respect for their boss and very few will pull a fast one and put in an iffy legal claim for white finger, or a bad back and get taken through
the legal system. Employers like the immigrants, they do the the job
