[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Since 1997 the population has increased by about 10 million, which is the equivalent of Sweden or Austria moving here. 

So it's no wonder that the sewage treatment works get overwhelmed and they have to dump into the rivers as that's a lot of extra shit to deal with! 

......so we 'import' more people from abroad to service the extra population....and so it goes on.

As Albitz says, we have a large population of unemployed (and perhaps unemployable) in this country we could bring into play but the Tories tend to like cheap labour in the form of the great unwashed and no associated  training costs, so they are quite happy to keep using foreign workers. As TB mentions some native brits won't work for the money offered by some business owners.

One major employment problem we have in the UK is that the government allows too many rogue companies to pay extremely low wages that are then topped up (subsidised) by the taxpayer.

My view is that if you can't pay your workers a decent wage then you shouldn't be in the business of employing people.

Good companies do not rely on the taxpayer to pay a proportion of their employees wages. They pay themselves.

Minimum wage/living wage only makes it worse because it allows companies to hold wages down rather than paying fair market rate.
