EH?

Pardon me?

Read my post again ..... look at the dates ....... the Tories have, without fail, ALWAYS encouraged unemployment!!

The last 18 months are the Tory watch - Labour were keeping everyone IN jobs (in it all together, if you like!).

Talk is cheap, Cameron!!

What?

The demographics have changed within 18 months?

Do me a favour!

The only thing which has changed is a Tory Government who have stalled the economic growth in its tracks!!

Why is it trolling? He has posted the facts!

To be fair the Tories are the party of high unemployment. Labour do much bigger things like destroy the economy and take us into illegal wars!

Still can't work out why they are hell bent on attracting an immigrant work force into the country while paying our own lot to stay at home on benefit.

Possibly because some of 'our own lot' aren't willing to go out and get a job and very little seems to be done about that.

The sad thing is, immigrant workers are willing to do the jobs that SOME indigenous people aren't. And it certainly doesn't help that we have a poor 'benefits' system in place that allows for people to take the ****, yet does little to help those who could just do with some assistance in one way or another. Just my opinion.

Is that true really? All immigrants are hard grafters who do anything?

How come Muslims are disproportionately unemployed and claiming benefits of some kind, and insurance fraud is rife in some Muslim 'enclaves'?

FFS Tony, let's not turn this into another excuse to have a go at Muslims.

I didn't say anything about immigrants as a whole, I specifically said immigrant workers.

Lol, you don't hear from Banny until someone mentions Muslims and then he pops-up and his insider jumps in for him. Once you're aware of it the pattern's hilarious. Muslim, Muslim, Muslim.

Tell you what Pete, instead of your continuous carping, Just tell us what you would do if you were given a country to run which had been left in the sort of financial situation that your heroes left it.

We would all love to see your answer to it all...we would hang on every word.

Those who run others down should at least be able to say how to put it right!

I think it is pretty fair to say no one likes any lazy scroungers.


we should be putting our own home grown benefits lifestyle long-term unemployed to work, in employment even if it is only working for the same money as they would get as benefits BEFORE bringing in migrants/immigrants to fill these roles that we as a country could do/perform . Whether it be using the stick or carrot to do so.

Then and only then should we allow people from outside the UK to come here to work in the lower skilled/unskilled roles.

It is that simple!

It's pertinent to the conversation. Pakistani Muslim Women are 75% unemployed but represent one of the highest % immigrants. No special consideration should be given to avoid upsetting little Banny.

I'm amazed that as many as 25% are allowed to be employed, personally...

If by insider, you mean me, wtf? I was replying to a comment that quoted an earlier post of mine.

It's easy to jump in and have a go at Banny, and I'm not getting drawn into petty bickering, but the comment by Tony was just another excuse to bring his feelings about Muslims into this discussion. It was completely irrelevant to my post.

No. You said "The sad thing is, immigrant workers are willing to do the jobs that SOME indigenous people aren't." Well that statement isn't true and Tony picked out the demographic that best represents that fact. Just because Banny happens to have a Pakistani Muslim mother doesn't mean people should avoid stating facts. You're party to special consideration.

we are where we are because of labour.

conversative gave us the good times, then labour came in, enjoyed what the tories gave us then fooked it all up. so we got rid of labour.

damage already done, now tories are back in everyone expects <instant> change ?
No, it takes years, it'll be the duration of them in power before things start getting better.

Labour done nothing but scam us all and we're paying for it thanks to brown and blair (who both are doing quite well off their books i might add)
