That may be so but are trhe Italians doing the same? The point is that British workers are all over Europe and vice versa. Untill we can haul ass out of the EU we will see it time and time again. It is not the first that was Commonwealth citizens comming over after the war nor will it be the last.

Re: Protest against foreign workers
If you'd have more than a modicum of intelligence you'd have seen my gender has been displayed openly for the five years that I've been a member.
Unsuprisingly I gleamed you were a closet racist, and baisically a bit of a thicko, without the need to check your profile.

The avatar is actually the Infant Jesus of Prague.
Quite famous actually.
I'm sure one of your friends in an Irish Mosque will explain who Jesus is.

You only have to look at his avatar, Rindi, to see he portrays what comes out in abundance from its backside

Re: Protest against foreign workers
If anyone needs a t-shirt for work or whatever I recommend this from ebay, it's good quality and it gets the point across to any job stealing eastern europeans that you may encounter during your day.

Re: Protest against foreign workers
Maybe you guys should go it on your own ... not in the sense of isolationism, which I don't think would work for Britain; but in the sense of looking at markets, or commercial alliances, other than Europe. We manage ok, even with NAFTA, which is a localised free trade arrangement without the political bull crap that seems to go along with the European Union .... we have great access to one of the best markets in the world in the US, and the poliitical freedom to plot our own course in the world. At the same time as we have been active in the North American market, we have also been expanding our economic ties with the Pacific Rim ... In fact, we are a Pacific Rim country, with a major Pacific port in Vancouver. Some of NAFTA sucks; but we are negotiating continually, and from a position of strength, given our immense natural resources. Membership in NAFTA doesn't preclude a fiercely independent foreign policy ... we didn't do the Iraq thing; however, (that still didn't stop President Obama making Ottawa his first overseas visit) but we are heavily involved in Afghanistan ... in fact, as President Obama pointed out in Ottawa yesterday, Afghanistan is the biggest recipient of Canadian foreign aid .... if you want to change the direction you are going in, maybe you should do a 180 and look west instead of east. And as the world is round (well, an oblate spheroid) if you go west, you can reach the developing economies of China and India. I don't think the EU is a good idea, if for no other reason that you can't trust the French, or the Germans for that matter. (The conflict between the French and the English has been going on for ... let me see, let's put it in the reign of King John, all the way down to the Entente Cordiale that dragged us into the First World War ... wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw the Rockies .....)
Is it clouded thinking to suggest that you have more in common with the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India than you have with the new Europe? .... What is stopping the British govt. from at least exploring different options ... ? Is Brown going to get detention, or 1000 lines for thinking of alternative economic and political arrangements? I don't be bloody well thinking so. Let's look at a microcosm ... let's call it Afghanistan ... who the hell is doing the fighting and dying and rebuilding there ... sure as hell isn't the French or the Germans or any other EU countries I can think of ... It's Americans, British, and Canadians ... The world is a lot smaller than it used to be; so, in terms of alliances and economic agreements distance is no longer an issue.
Whatever ... it's your choice if you wish to make it.

Re: Protest against foreign workers
Up yours Mr Gordon Brown with your statement "British jobs for British workers", utter crap. According to this link non British now hold 13% of jobs in the UK, to me anything more than 1% is too many.

Re: Protest against foreign workers
Latest figures reported today show that more Polish and other European workers are leaving Britian than are arriving... looks like good news, but on the other hand goes to show this recession is going to get deep!

This may be true but will they return when things improve or will there be something in place to stop it happening again?

Stop what happening? - or do you mean stop other Europeans doing what the British won't do.
And before you reach for the red button the jobs they do are not suitable for the average British household.They are for young single/just married kids that can live rough for a while and save a few bob to better themselves.
I don't want to live in a caravan with a load of fellow workers to pick fruit and veg or indeed live 7 to a house in order to keep Express Gifts going and I think I am not on my own in this opinion.
The employment of none European workers has I believe stopped but even this has It's drawbacks.
Rightly or Wrongly Europeans have the right to work here.
