Bet there won’t be many indigenous workers though.. Oh dear am I allowed to say that these days?.....
Absolutely right, because we aren't a nation of grafters. The decline started with the baby boomers, my generation aren't in the main and the one that follows certainly aren't. If we ever want the bl00dy thing finished, I certainly hope it won't be brits staffing it.
Agreed
It will be a fact that a very large proportion of the work force used will those from outside The UK. But that is no different than when the canals, railways, sewerage systems, and so many other heavy engineering projects propelled this country forward in the 18th and 19th centuries. Then it was the famous Irish navvies, yes then part of Britain (reluctantly for many), who numbered about 30% of the workforce. This time around will it be Eastern European’s who make up the numbers or Asians?
Whatever, as long ALL the project is completed that is all that should matter.
We will not change the snowflakes of the current British generation overnight to on mass pick up shovels to move tons of wet, dirty and heavy soil, or other materials. They have had it too good for too long. It will take either a miracle or a war to change that!
