Over 1,100 Migrants Arrived in First 10 Days of Labour Government

a reply to: andy06shake

I guess my train of thought was to the other member where these illegal immigrants can't apply for other legal workers' potential jobs that require proper paperwork. The jobs illegal immigrants do, regular legal workers have better choices.

They do overlap through.

Especially where the likes of the building trade and contractors are concerned.

Same with semiskilled factory work.

I imagine so, but because of necessity for the employer to stay in business (?)

a reply to: quintessentone

Well, that would depend on the business and the employer.

But should they really be in business.

If indeed they are willing to play the wage theft game?

Considering the fact that they choose to exploit some of the most vulnerable members of society.

Pay them peanuts and work them like slaves.

Never mind help keep people from the nation.

Who actually require employment from gaining such at any sort of competitive rate.

Employers that use these people are on par with the people who traffic the poor sods here by my guess.

And part of a very vicious circle.

These illegal immigrants would not be applying for the job, just show up and do the job, right?

Illegal immigrants aren't the only problem , 750,000 people came here legally last year , they need housing , jobs and public services which when they're in short supply is causing problems for Brits.

Our standard of life is falling so theirs can rise , I don't see that as fair.

Lots of these 'legal' immigrants and those with refugee status get employed in various industries as temps; they are employed on zero hour contracts - if any at all - and are only drafted in as and when required sometimes at incredibly short notice.
They have very few employment rights, they don't receive premium rates and get paid even less than full-time or permanent employees.

Zero hour contracts have played a large part in driving the low wage economy that afflicts the UK.

One thing at a time mate.

First of all stem the the tide of illegal immigrants.
Then sift through those here and get rid of the assorted trash that have become resident here.
Then tighten existing regulations regarding legal immigration.

We absolutely must NOT restrict all immigration, all cultures and societies require a certain amount of flux and new thoughts/ideas etc if they are to continuously grow and develop.

As I stated previously those who came here in the 50's and 60's etc have done nothing but benefit the UK.
Our creaking NHS system - something definitely worth fighting for - would have been broken a long time ago if not for those legal immigrants and their descendants.

King's Speech - zero hours contracts to be banned within new government's first 100 days in office.

Typical stuck up english snobbery at its worst.

That's NOT English snobbery mate....to be honest its a bit lazy to say so.
I know quite a few people of different nationalities who spout the same #e.....including Irish.

Yeah i know, you're right.

I was just so enraged i couldnt think straight.

Look at what i quoted, saying that about me.

Arseholery would be a better term for it.

Starmer's plan to tackle illegal migration is to blow £84m in Africa and Middle East on "humanitarian projects" saying it's a "vital part of gripping the migration crisis".

Sir Keir Starmer has announced £84m of new funding for projects across Africa and the Middle East to curtail migration.

This includes humanitarian and health support, he says, as well as skills training and access to education.

The prime minister says this is a "vital part of gripping the migration crisis".

"And it shows how we're going to do business on the world stage," he adds.

"We are facing up to the huge issues beyond our shores."

These problems "echo at home", Sir Keir says.

Whaaat?!!!

Idiot?

No. Feckwit!

a reply to: gortex

Isn't it worth it to try something rather than nothing? It's only 84 million, a drop in your country's GDP bucket.

Sir Keir said Thursday's EPC meeting had seen the government "resetting our approach" and "deepening our cooperation" with European partners in order to tackle illegal migration, including increasing the UK's presence at Europol, agreeing new cooperation arrangements with Slovenia and Slovakia on tackling organised crime, and a commitment to share more intelligence "to put the gangs out of business".

He said: "We are going to smash the gangs, break their business model and secure our borders."

It's 84 million of tax payers money that will mostly be eaten up by corruption in the countries it's destined for , it will have no effect on the migrants coming here because it's little more than a F.U to Conservatives , they're probably having a right giggle in Labour HQ.

It's all kicking off in Leeds by the looks of it.

What an idiot.

But, but, but they are fleeing because they say their lives are in danger and in fear of persecution in their own country. How does skills training and access to education suddenly make their lives safer ?

Starmer has just adnitted they are economic migrants.

The gangs operate in Europe. Unless the migrants are carrying rubber dinghy's from Africa etc.

Then giving others a leg up through education may help, why not try?
