So is the stock in all the Eastern European shops produced in the UK?

Indeed.
Just because an immigrant is working, and may possibly be paying tax, doesn't mean that they won't be claiming various benefits and availing themselves of our free healthcare system, maternity care, education etc. They will also need somewhere to live and will probably be taking a scarce home from rented stock.
If they take a job that someone here could have obtained, any benefits to us by them coming here are negated because the person who didn't get the job remains on benefits.
Having said that, at least the ones who work (in legitimate jobs that is), are making an effort to contribute as opposed to the likes of those who live in London subways and openly defecate outdoors. That's when they aren't begging/stealing/mugging etc.
