Economic Benefits. Adults Only

As we all know, due to EU law, we now have people from every backwater of Eastern Europe flooding into this country and working for a pittance. To justify this the government keep telling us about the "economic benefits" we gain from allowing these people here.

Now if you are middle class, need a cheap cleaner, plumber, builder etc then I am sure it is very beneficial. If you run a business and want cheap labour then I'm sure it's very beneficial. If you want to build a conservatory on your house in Surrey but don't want to give up one of your foriegn holidays to pay for it then I am sure it is beneficial.

But what if you are poor? What if you are a licensed private hire driver and you are not getting enough work because the big companies have bought in 1000's of drivers from Poland prepared to work for minimum wage? Where is the benefit to you? What if you are single, have been on the council housing list for years, got near the top then suddenly find yourself back where you started because any of these people who have kids now have priority over you? Where is the benefit for you?

What if you are a cleaner, a waitress, a barman, a chambermaid or work in any of the other low paid jobs who suddenly finds their wages going back down to minimum? Where is the benefit to you?

The excuse for allowing these people in is that they do the jobs nonbody else wants to do. That may be true. But why did people not want to these jobs? Because the wages were so low. Rather than keep flooding our already over populated country with cheap foreign labour would it not make more sense to raise the wages and encouraged the millions already out of work into employment again? Just a thought!

Here is a fit bird.
