Politics aside, there's not many natives at all, let alone younger natives who wish to do many of these low paid unskilled jobs. I know quite a few Poles who have such jobs, and according to them Brits turn up to a chicken processing factory for example, last a few days and aren't seen again. Explains why 'foreigners' have these jobs.
I dont buy into that argument at all Im afraid.If there were any truth in it,who did all the menial low paids jobs 15 years ago before the recent inlux of mass migration ?
The Brits have always been among the hardest working,most inventive people in the world throughout history.I dont believe that national characteristic has changed beyond recognition in less than one generation.
Well it's a fact Albs, I'm not making broad swearing statements and tarring everyone with the same brush like a lot of people seem to do, but it's certainly a significant trend in society.
Its not a fact at all imo,its a myth perpetuated by the lefty media to excuse the criminal act of allowing completely unchecked immigration into the U.K. in the last decade.
Ive mentioned it before,but as an example of how it works the other way too - my last employer sacked me on the spot (after 20 years of very hard work and extremely loyal service)for having a disabilty,then replaced me with a recent migrant from Eastern Europe who was half my age.The quality of his work was appalling and he did so much damage to expensive equipment it would have been much more cost effective to have paid him his wages and told him to stay at home.He had a complete "couldnt give a toss" attitude to the job.
I also believe that a fact which is underpublicised is that quite a high percentage of the criminals in this country nowadays are immigrants who have no interest in doing an honest days work,but who came here for easy pickings in a rich country with an extremely soft justice system.
I had a group of Eastern Europeans fitting a kitchen in my house a couple of yeard ago,and it was like watching a Laurel & Hardy film.
The workmanship was beyond belief.They had to take it all out and reinstall it three times,and it took over 3 months to get the job done to a standard which was anywhere near acceptable.
Imo,if theres a problem with the yoof of today in this country its that the last govt. gave them an overblown sense of entitlement.
The entitlement to sit on their arse if they felt like it,or if they actually wanted to make something of their lives,an entitlement to go to uni,get a degree (often in media studies,possibly majoring in Take That, the early years) and then feeling entitled to have a very highly paid glamourous job at the ned of it.
If govts. in eastern Europe had socially engineered their current generation the way ours did with this generation,then they would have the same problems we now have.
If we can over time,steer the country back to less glamorous businesses (such as relatively small scale high quality manufacturing) and educate our young in a way that they are happy to build a long term career in these jobs (rather than wanting to be a reality TV instant superstar,without any discernable talent) then we cna rebuild our reputation of being a country of hard working,creative,inventive people and the Union flag displayed prominently on products can be a sign of quality products across the world as it used to be.
