Many of which will be low paid, low skilled jobs with little future career development.
Jesus wept, always look on the bright side eh?
These jobs will be great for some people and make a big difference to their lives, who are you to look down your nose at them?
What a Ray of sunlight you are....ever thought these jobs may suit some people?
Pretty sure many immigrants who've just arrived here will fill the jobs, obviously British people prefer there benefits!
A bit presumptuous stating I'm looking down my nose at anyone! Just stating facts, that's all.
What a load of BS
What is?
You know exactly what. It’s not hard to work out.
An opinion is not a fact.
You allege that British people prefer to scrounge than to work. Are you British and if so are you a scrounger?
Are they low paid jobs, yes. Are they low skilled jobs, yes. Do they have little career development, yes. Hattrick of facts there in front of your eyes.
IDoes a bear.....?
Yes, I am a British scrounger and proud of it. I don't want lazy boat people travelling thousands of miles on a rubber ring to pinch our scrounging opportunities.
I agree. I had to go to night school for three years to learn all the intricacies of the British way of scrounging. We don't want Johnn Foreigner coming over here with their work ethics and think they can go straight into scrounging without serving an apprenticeship. The first tradition that would fly out the window would be the "tea break". Keep Scrounging British!
There's a lot of work ethic down Eastwood way. Yeah right...
And you feel knowledgeable enough to comment because...?
He used to live there before his caravan was repossessed
