Amen, this country really needs to rid itself of this Xenophobic 'Empire' mindset.

Fed up with right wingers moaning about how foreigners nick their jobs. No they don't. They just do it better and work harder. If you get two blokes coming to you for the same job, both speak english, one is say Slovakian and has a Degree and the other is English and dropped out after A-levels which one are you gonna pick? The answer is so obvious I'm not gonna state it. The fact is if there's someone who can do the job better than you then they deserve it regardless of their nationality.

The thing that really gets my goat about parties like the BNP is that they want immigrants paid less and then complain about them 'taking our jobs.' The fact is that if companies have to pay the same to everyone then their incentive to hire immigrants is reduced - there's no financial incentive on the wage expenditure front.

If people spent less time moaning and got their arses in gear many would find themselves far better off. In conclusion, the economy cannot run without immigrants, they do many of the jobs we don't want to, some are doctors, nurses and teachers - people we need. The fact is that you cannot discriminate about allowing someone to work just because there is lower demand for their job. The crucial word here is 'work.' People don't come here to claim benefits, they come here to work.
