But you are left with the question- why did they not re-employ a team of lads they knew and bring in Poles?
Yes, maybe the Poles would work for less but again maybe they thought the Poles would work harder, be more reliable. We don't know.
After mentioning Frank Fields yesterday I spent some time reading up on him. One of his comments was that of the 400,000 new jobs created in the first year of the ConDems, 320,000 went to immigrents. 87% !
On average in the final Labour years 80% of all new jobs went to immigrants.
The many companies that employed 400,000 people can't have all been like Express Gifts. They can't all have been lousy employers offering lousy jobs.
What do they see wrong with our huge pool of available labour? Why favour immigrants? Or did they not have much choice? It can't just be pay levels.
We have to ask why our unemployed don't get all or most of these jobs.
Are they brought up with bad attitude? Are they badly educated by a failing system? Has the moral fibre of this country rotted away? Is our welfare system too generous? Are they not interested?
We need to find out what's wrong. If we don't we'll end up with millions more immigrants working( but overwhelming our NHS,schools and housing) and starting to ask, as a massive pressure group, 'Why are we all working our butts off to keep all these UK locals at home? What's being done about it?'
Then the fun could start!

express gifts set up an employment agency in poland which probably took a deposit for you to register,then they bought a whole load of houses rented them out to about six at a time charging them on average rent at £100 a week .so thats £600 a week for one house. thats what one of my polish neighbors told me when i lived in accy.
