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.
