House prices tumbling of course sucks for those who didn't buy to let but just bought to live. Funny thing is they will go up again, as they always do, and the people whining about them being too high just now will all of a sudden have a change of opinion.
I wouldn't put Boris in charge of a local village pie stall. OMG! Look at his hair! And he's sooooo funny on telly...lol. He's a sexist, racist, homophobe and the fact anybody was stupid enough to vote for him makes me shake my head in wonder. Get rid of an unlikable but massively qualified public servent and replace with a haircut. Well done London.
Labour government on the way out? Good. Torys on the way in? Bad. Eighteen years of Tory **** up, followed by eleven years of labour **** up and we somehow arrive at the conclusion that the former will solve all the problems. Remove head from anus, then vote.
And the racist horse **** about Eastern Europeans ****s me right off. Suffice to say that I worked with a great many eastern europeans in the UK, lived amoungst them and currently rent my flat to some. I'd rather deal with them than most of the complaining, work shy british arseholes that it's been my misfortune to work alongside and manage in the past. That's without even considering the fact that half my family is Eastern European. Thanks for the blanket insult though. Keep it up.
All of those positives for many, I agree. England is a great place to live.
However, Eastern Europeans are not going back. They are still coming over in their thousands. Taking jobs from hardworking British. Taking taxpayers money. Being given houses.
Not all of them, no. But many.
Yet another sweeping untrue statement that makes my blood boil.
I worked as a Bank manager before I moved from the UK and was fortunate enough to meet/advise a hugh amount of eastern europeans.Everyone who opened an account had a regular wage paid through it ...not DSS payments ...salaries. All of them where living in private rented property paying full rent and getting no help from the government.I had Business clients who travel to eastern europe because they could not get british people to fill the vacant positions.
"Taking jobs from hardworking British" .... I wonder how you will feel if the Australian people see you in this light...and before you start spouting off about you paying to get here...do you really think the aussies care about this???
Seems to me that immigrants moving to the Uk cant win...if they work they are "taking jobs fronm hard working british" ..if they dont they are taking taxpayers money .
What really amazes me is this is from people who want to move to Australia ...taking jobs and claiming allowances from centre link...can no one see the irony in this !!!!
I had a site in the UK before I left that required a great deal of dull and repetative manual labour. Really boring jobs like stone picking compacted soil layers, fillig sand bags and clearing rubble. We had about 10 Scottish guys working on it and a Polish bloke. First thing you notice is that every one of the Scots came in hungover in the morning and were, to a man, blessed with enormous beer bellys that meant they could barely bend down to pick stuff up. They'd lean on shovels for 3 minutes in every 10. Need a smoke break every 30 minutes and grumble and moan all day long from dawn till dusk. In all honesty the one Polish labourer did the work of at least 3 of the Scots. On a bad day he'd do as much as 5 of them. They hated because when he was there to work.....he worked.
In a similar situation again (which I will be) the Scots can all piss off and I'll employ 4 Polish guys instead and pay them a bit more. What possible reason could I have for not doing so?
Hiya John,
