Next import cheap Polish workers for Xmas jobs before even advertising them in the UK

Not sure where all this Brits are lazy has come from. It's utter bs.

Try spending some time in industry and you'll realise

Your opinions on everything from climate change to politics in general are ludicrous so i'm not trusting your distorted experiences in industry.

Only reason is that a Tory peer is at the top of Next, consequently the Mirror will insist that he alone is responsible for this coz dirty tory

Wolfson isn't just any old Tory peer - he's a major donor to the party and a backbone of Cameron's policy formation and political schemes.

All rather gives the lie to the Big Tory Plan to control EU migration doesn't it?

Next have been found to be importing Polish workers from Poland to fill their Christmas jobs before the jobs were ven advertised in the UK & this is in an area of very high unemployment. Tory Peer who runs Next has imported 7,000 Polish workers by the bus load.

Thoughts?

hes taking british jobs from the immigrants in britain derp derp

least its not a daily mail link

Absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Most who are unemployed tend to be unemployable scum and there is absolutely nothing worse than giving these scumbags a job at a busy time of the year only to find they either can't hack it or don't bother showing up with the latter being the norm.

Business already realises that there's huge difficulties employing the unemployed. In most cases people are financially better off on benefits.

Save the hassle and get people who will want to work

I hate to say I agree.

Most unemployed people, not all, just some, are unemployable. I personally believe there is a massive under-diagnosis of mental illness in the unemployed, but that's a different subject.

What we need to really do is show these people tolerance, respect, and show them that work will actually mean something.

As someone who has spoken to many unemployed people, they seem to think every job is "boring", "depressing" or they live in a depressing environment/home that makes them feel work is pointless, or they feel overwhelmed by society and tax and bills etc. They want to be "appreciated" for the work, instead of ignored, which is how they feel.


You can laugh at that, but that's how some unemployed people think.

And I have to agree, some work is pointless. What we need are jobs where people would say
" I am proud I contributed to that".

Lowering tax and raising the minimum wage for big companies, is the solution. Many small companies cannot pay above minimum wage, which is understandable.

If it's an option of hard-working employees that accept minimum wage or less hard-working employees that are less likely to accept minimum wage, it makes sense to employ the former group and not the latter.

Why don't companies give the option for native workers to accept the lower level of wages that they will be offering to migrants?

Not sure where all this Brits are lazy has come from. It's utter bs.

Are you going to reply to his point, or just act an idiot?

Well- do you think its a good idea more British people are kept on benefits?

X,000 extra people means extra demand on housing, extra demand on the NHS, if they bring family with them, extra demand on schools.....

Need I continue?

Oh and their minimum wage jobs wont be contributing enough tax to fund the above before I hear that comeback! Plus even if they did- I don't want the countryside resembling lewisham just to have more Polish here!

It's entirely up to the people themselves if they want to get "free money" rather than accept a job and end up financially worse-off.



The first point you make is undeniably true. Yes immigration will put more demand on social infrastructure where supply is already being tested. If you want to blame someone, blame those who have the power to stop immigration. Blame those who spend tens, if not hundreds of billions of pounds of public TAXPAYER MONEY on covering for the losses of the financial sector. What the poles cost the people is a fraction compared to the con-game of 2008.

The poles aren't here to take your jobs, they're here to make a quick and decent amount of money (more than they would in Poland for these types of jobs) for themselves and their families.

Also with regards to your comment to democracyforum, you seem like quite a sick and sadistic kind of person if you're willing to cut another's bread.

Employees who are desperate over employees who stand up for their rights?

Sounds like a good deal for the company. So is paying no tax. Can't blame them, but that doesn't mean it's ethical, or shouldn't be frowned upon or stopped.

X,000 extra people means extra demand on housing, extra demand on the NHS, if they bring family with them, extra demand on schools.....

Need I continue?

Soooooooo I was correct- immigrants coming here will cost the taxpayer in terms of increased public services spending and demand on housing?

Do you not even see the problem you are justifying?

You keep inviting more immigrants in to this country and you will increase the number of British people kept on the benefits "heap". How is this any good for our country? The best thing for our country is 100% employment. So if we have jobs available- it would be better for Britain these jobs went to people on benefits, which would reduce the benefits bill and the anti-social problems these scum cause.

Otherwise, the population of the underclass will keep increasing, which means social security will keep increasing and crime will keep increasing.

Oh and what did you get from this? The ability to smile that you admitted some Polish people?
