Osem, you have hit the nail on the head, exactly spot on.

In other countries the wages are so small, that's the reason why they come to this country, the money.

I have said on this forum that a mate of mine can employ - four Polish workers for the price of ONE British worker.

A decent living wage in the UK would be between 16/ 18 thousand per year, what members are looking at is taking a wage of £15.000 and even lower. With the high cost of everything in this country, you cannot live on anything like that.

Yes, the government would help people on low wage - BUT you have to work at least 6/7 weeks on a very low wage to get the pay slips and then wait for the outcome.

I should know as l have done it, and its going back in time - living in total poverty.

There are no longer any decent jobs out there, as they have all gone.
