Nearly all the eastern europeans that are currently job stealing at my workplace speak no english, their Halifax job agency has an interpreter for them.

Which is why it is so unfair that translations are made into any other language.

End of the day Eastern Europeans come here in serch of more money than they will get in their own country. In Romania the average wage is £1200 a year. Sorry but if i was able to find a country that would pay me 9 times as much as i get in the UK then id be gone and that is exactly what they are doing. All this bickering wont stop it and yes UK people are being replaced but if a business sees a way to make more profit then thats what it will do. Ive been a victim of it but i understand it and see why it happened.

No matter where you live wages are relative to cost of living. Ithink you might find the cost of living is much lower there.

Mr Aleks · 16-07-2007, 12:37

Oh yes it will be of course it will. But the way they are thinking is make as much money over here then once they are done take it over there and they will have much more then if they had stayed there. Alot are doing it for houses deposits and cars etc.

Bagpuss, can understand your grievance regarding the situation of your workmates but I can't understand why you seem to want to take it out on the Poles. They are simply going where the higher wages are - who can blame them for that? As for the companies, they're paying as little as they can get away with, because, unfortunately, that's what companies do.

The real culprits are the politicians in Westminster who took us into the EU with its commitment to "free movement of people". Which means that we have now arrived at the frankly ludicrous situation where, for example, a brain surgeon from Mexico would not be allowed to enter the country, but a beggar from Romania would be completely free to do so.
