I guess the best thing we can do is allow lots of foreign workers into the country so they can do them.
Oh hang on, wouldn't those same foreigners encounter exactly the same problems you've highlighted?

That's a story I brought to this very forum some time ago. I work with people from all over the EU in my local office. One of the managers, a Hungarian lady had her 18 year old brother come over to the UK ostensibly to improve his English.
While here, he worked in a number of causal jobs - building site labourer, washing up in a restaurant, pot man in a pub and a cleaner. If he didn't like a job, he moved and got a different one in a day or so, he was almost never out of work. His opinion of long term unemployed people, especially young people with no commitments wasn't great! He could not understand how anyone could be out of work.
He was Norman Tebbits dream, he got on his bike and found work.
