at what point do we say enough is enough these workers are stealing the bread off our tables /the clothes off our kids backs. and if your happy with that then give your job or prospect of one to one of your European friends ,i'm sure the banks will be sympathetic when your on bended knees pleading for a little more time to save your lifestyle, its all very well preaching from your lofty perch on the moral high ground about right and wrong , why dont some of you come to the refinery and voice your views in public, if you think your being reasonable and fair then surly you will be met with open arms.

I doubt there are many people here who think this is fair, smurf. However, fair or not, what the company is doing is totally legal. Their right to bring in foreign, European labour is an unavoidable part of our membership of the EU.
These workers can protest if they want, but what's their strategy here? What's the endgame? What are their demands? Absolutely nothing is going to change as a result of this. Nothing
can change as a result of this.
What we are in fact seeing here is yet another almighty cock-up by our glorious leader Brown, who is happy to stand up and mouth brainless slogans that he knows he can't deliver on. These workers are parroting 'British jobs for British workers' because only a few months ago Brown said he would deliver exactly that. Well, he can't, and he never could. He has given them false hope, and all for the sake of a few weeks' respite from the rotten opinion polls.
