The point that l am trying to make is this, In this country, we are standing up for our rights, We have foriegn companies in this country, that have British workers, some of these workers are now being laid off, due to the recession, We have a PM who does not give a hoots, to the British worker, even though he came out with the slogan ' British work for British workers ' which he has now back tracked, we now have Mandy, coming out with the same old crap. The bottom line is, that foriegn workers ARE taking British jobs, And with the recession biting very hard, have decided enough is enough.

There is probably Lorry loads of foreign workers coming through the channel tunnel, ready to take the work tomorrow. I support any striker, who supports the right to work. and this the right for every worker who holds a British passport. The worst thing, this country done, was get rid of the Trade Unions that we know of years ago, as at the moment there isn't anyone, with enough bottle to stand up to his stupid government, which has cuased the problem in the first place.

When the European Union expanded member states were given the opportunity to put a limit on the number of foreign workers that they would allow in the country.

The Germans immediately put a maximum quota, our government however, did nothing.

It's no good blaming businesses that are working totally within the confines of the law.

You want to blame somebody? Blame the government.

You want to change it? vote UKIP or some other party.

The fact is there are people who have not got jobs over this.

This government had the opportunity to put temporary restrictions to our labour markets, they did not, thinking only a thousand or so would come through.

Foreigners should only be considered if the job has been advertised here and other suitable candidates have not been found.

70,000 skilled workers have entered this country over the last 3 years, they have been able to do this even if they have no job to come to.

Contracts to overseas companies operating here should be outlawed if they do not offer jobs to suitable workers here first.

Brown was warned about the unrest we are now seeing, he chose to do nothing.

So yes I have every sympathy for workers who were born here being done out of a job by a foreigner wanting to do that job for less money and under less safety standards.

No offence but if workers from abroad work better, for cheaper aka minimum wage then what's the problem. Im not saying British workers are all lazy, tea-drinking whores - but seriously; if you had your own business and you could choose to pay somebody £5 an hour compared to £10 for the same work, maybe even a bit better!, then why wouldn't you.

"It has also said that all IREM staff will be paid the same as the existing contractors working on the project."

And they are covered by UK H&S laws, so your statement is a sub-optimal interpretation of the available information. ;)

I suggest members read the middle pages of The News of the World, and it was staggering to read it, and it was an Asian guy who runs the operation.

Where illegal immagrants line up for work outisde British companies for work, companies include B&Q, who are paying below average wages for the staff.

This government has to stopped this, before it starts a lot of aggro, with British workers, who wants work.
