So why not our own people ? Because they have a right to an easy life where someone else picks up the bill ? could that be why ?

If there was a place in the world where a British person could do a job like, for example, serving in a cafe and earn the equivalent of £30,000 if they sent the money back to the UK I'm sure many people would up sticks and move.

No I don't think they would, as it would mean leaving their comfort zone, having to learn & adapt to another culture & language & actually having to make an effort

I & others like me left a long time ago when things were difficult in UK but nowhere near as extreme as they are now. That said, we've settled in our new Countries & made our way, the personal mindset, resilience & will to improve & better our situation appears to be lacking from some sections of the present UK society, so is it any wonder the land is in the state it is ?
