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?
I dont think we can just quote the unemployment figure and say that immigrant workers dont help the UK economy. They are a source of cheap labour, yes, but I would not say thats the majority of immigrants. Most of the ones I know still pay the market rent. Not all immigrants live 10 to a room/house etc etc.
