    just a quick response, the minimum wage is too low for people with families to live on so many claim to top up an income that even a school leaver would laugh at, the problem is unscrupulous employers paying too low then paying the immigrants even lower. British people are not lazy but the system both government and economic has produced this situation. it really is quite despicable that you can't even see the truth.

    The repercussions of the credit crunch include drastic cut backs in the job market. Economists are warning that Britain is heading for an ‘avalanche’ of job losses. At the same time, the numbers of job vacancies is falling. The three months to August saw the becond biggest drop since records began: 59,000. Meantime, immigration continues to increase. This can mean only:-
    1) Either those people still in jobs in Britain are going to be taxed even more highly than otherwise to pay for the housing and the keep of these immigrants, or
    2) The New Labour Government will have to get even further into debt to do so with the risk of inflationary pressure and higher interest rates.
    Both these options will lengthen the economic downturn . Either way the British people will pay. You don’t get something for nothing - unless of course, you are an ‘asylum seeker’.
    The easy credit, created by this government and a huge Chinese trade imbalance, the ever rising price of housing and the cheapness of real products from China made by hard working people who believe in thrift, has created a false sense of security and feel- good factor in recent years for the British. All of them are going to disappear. The British have been been living beyond their means. British people have the highest level of personal debt in history. Including credit card debt, between them they owe well over one trillion pounds. They are going to have to repay these debts at a time when the price of such basics as food and heating is skyrocketing, housing values are declining and many are going to lose their jobs. They have been encouraged to sink themselves in this mire by Gordon Brown and New Labour, who told them that they had brought an end to the era of ‘boom and bust’ and also created the biggest government and public liabilities ever on the strength of this stupid optimism..
    New Labour wanted the British to enjoy prosperity, not so much because they had the well-being at heart of the native British, whom they despise, as because prosperity could anaesthetise them to their primary motive, which was to strip them of their homeland through mass immigration. Immigrant cheap labour also had the virtue (for them) of holding down the inflationary pressures created by all this debt -funded spending.
    As a result of the malevolent stupidity of Gordon Brown, cheered on by his party and its admirers, this country is saddled with an imploding economy, enormous public and private debts, and a society which is disintegrating under the pressures of mass immigration and moral collapse.
    What disaster.
    If the Party has to be over, let’s hope it is the New Labour Party.

    Hi Rod, fellow townsman! Just to pick you up on something! It's the greedy Brits who scrounge the benefits system. Most immigrants do come here to work! The illegals have no entitlement anyway and so have to find illegal work. They do all the jobs the lazy Brits consider themselves too good for!
