I felt I was offered the job unfairly and I turned the job down, I didn't want to be employed by someone with that kind of attitude. I dont think its fair to say there is a lack of jobs just because the immigrants work harder, as there are still many many people in the country who would rather hire a native to the country than an immigrant, regardless of who is better qualified for the job.

As already said, its a good idea to force people into work but there must be cleaners and things already doing the jobs so it seems a bit silly. How are they going to create jobs for these people? Why dont they force them to sign up for the army or something, i'm sure there is always a need for soldiers.

Silly people always come up with the “make them join the army” response to the work shy.

The British armed forces are probably the best disciplined in the world in spite of being badly equipped. We don’t want dead beats getting their hands on a weapon that kills DEAD.

The modern service person is no longer considered as cannon fodder but needs to be intelligent, resourceful, courageous, sympathetic, diplomatic and friendly as well as a cold blooded killer when the need arises.
