Even before the recession it was very high.
The country is immaterial. My point was if you tell these companies is do as you say, give British workers the jobs, and restrict them, why would they want to set up here?
Jobs will be lost if you impose these kind of rules on companies? The recent strikes send a message to Total, and why would they want to set up more of their company here if this is what happens?

well the British work longer hours -dont have 3 hours for lunch and come back drunk -and we make a substantial profit for total -we also don't go on strike as often as the French and we prefer dialogue as opposed to burning every thing in sight and throwing bricks at police men. we know what side were on and don't sit on the fence in the middle getting splinters in our bums

We have to protect jobs, for the sakes of the families, there will be more and more people being laid off becuase of this, don't forget major companies make money out of us, but they are using foriegn workers to produce it, BRITISH JOBS FOR BRITISH WORKERS.
