Many of which will be low paid, low skilled jobs with little future career development.
ReplyDeleteJesus wept, always look on the bright side eh?
DeleteThese 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?
A bit presumptuous stating I'm looking down my nose at anyone! Just stating facts, that's all.
DeleteAn opinion is not a fact.
DeleteAre 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.
DeleteWhat a Ray of sunlight you are....ever thought these jobs may suit some people?
ReplyDeletePretty sure many immigrants who've just arrived here will fill the jobs, obviously British people prefer there benefits!
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of BS
DeleteWhat is?
ReplyDeleteYou know exactly what. It’s not hard to work out.
DeleteYou allege that British people prefer to scrounge than to work. Are you British and if so are you a scrounger?
DeleteYes, 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.
DeleteI 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!
DeleteIDoes a bear.....?
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of work ethic down Eastwood way. Yeah right...
ReplyDeleteAnd you feel knowledgeable enough to comment because...?
