I read from many places, the latest being the History of Britain Documentry series on the BBC. But History books also confirm these events

as i said before i'm not sure if the UK could survive without the migrant works I know I rely on them heavily just to get into and out of the office

my friend is an immigrant, albiet from Austria rather than Eastern Europe, but I know she pays taxes and contributes to society and has integrated very well but TBH i've no real idea if they are all like here and the ones I see on a day to day basis

You make school sound like it's a case of sitting at a desk reading all day. When I went to school we communicated with our teachers.

The title "Migrant workers help UK economy" is wrong. How do they help? Theres 3 million unemployed, so no need to import workers is there. They are laso driving prices down for the working man, cos they dont pay tax etc.

But I'm bored of this thread now

I'm technically an immigrant (been here since 1975 tho) and most of my friends are 'immigrants' too.

Where I work the majority of the temps are immigrants (South Africans, Aussies, Albanians, a Lituanina and some Poles)

I think a lot of people on this forum know immigrants personally hence the discussions.

He's ten years old but I don't understand what that's got to do with it. This isn't just about my son, as I said earlier this is becoming a problem in many towns and cities with large immigrant populations. Did you read the article I linked to earlier?

Womble, could a lot of the 3 million unemployed be made up of workshy English natives that do not want to work. What about all the English single mums who are unemployed? And the dole spongers that happen to be English too?
