Positive Things About Immigration
OK so I thought I would post something positive about immigration.
UK survival - Now our dwindling birthrate has smashed 2. This makes our chance of survival better than 5 years ago.
Culturally- adds to our understanding of the world and contributes to new experiences, products, events, foods etc to diversify and enrich our lives.
Economically- Competition for jobs that require a good education e.g doctors, finance, science, lawyers etc so you get the best person possible in the position and the country is run more efficiently. Also the less well educated are willing to pick up the jobs that many people would not want to do so further ensuring the productivity of a country.
Everyone is so against it on here so I thought I would post this in a hope to ease everyones fears.

The main problem I see on here is. We have to accept we are more than welcome to go to ANY other EU country and get support for not working if we chose to. So what if they come to ours and some times claim off the system. The vast majority do not! They come here to work hard and pay taxes.
Pardon me for saying this but what utter rubbish you speak, go to Poland and see what happens when you lose your job. It's ok using France and Germany to compare ourselves with but what about all the countries such as Poland. Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece etc etc that have no financial support the way we do. A Polish person told me one day that they have people in Poland who have studied the UK welfare system in it's entirety and they charge people from Poland who come to the UK so that they can claim every benefit possible. Our local council has had to build housing estates just to home the ruddy Polish. It's funny but I don't see plane loads of unemployed British people heading to Poland to find employment or live off their welfare state.
Wake up and smell to coffee please!

And while the most generous benefits are found in some of the OECD’s smaller, less wealthy members, such as Bulgaria and Slovenia,

Why the heck would they come to the UK when they can claim more back home?

Most of the Polish don't speak English so don't use that old Nutmeg. Mind you they soon learn the key phrases quickly enough such as "I know my rights" or "I need a house for my self and my pregnant wife". This the land of milk and honey to most East Europeans. And as for joining the E U in the first place, most of the countries would have failed the basic requirements unless the Brussels brigade hadn't "cooked the books".
Look no further than Greece, bankrupt. Italy and Spain bordering on bankrupt. The only thing that's keeping Europe afloat is the Germans and in their case you reap what you sow.

What's your evidence that most of the Poles don't speak English, eastern?Plenty of them in East Anglia, where I live, and I've yet to encounter or hear of one who doesn't. Or do you know of some secret enclave where they are living in some ghetto and never speaking any language other than the one they are born with.
I live in area of high Polish and Portugese immigration where very few speak English, although I do have to admit that most make a concerted effort to learn. Most tend to have one or two people in their group who speak fluent English and use them for negotiations, in fact in one household I dealt with it was a 12 yr old boy who did all the translating. So in answer to your question my evidence is first hand, not based on rumour.
This will be the lovable foreigners turning up to make our country more culturally and Economically enriched! Anyone know the Romanian for "which way to the benefits office"?

No Link but in the Mirror today, our beloved Billy Butlins in Skeg & other UK sites have put ads in eastern countries P/land>>Bulgaria for workers, if they can speak a bit of English they will get the jobs, Person over here went to their local J.C. only to be told, Butlins are NOT RECRUTING!!!!! Is there something wrong?
Honey, I have just read your post, Do you expect to work for next to nothing? do you not realise that this cheap labour will take the employment back to the 20>>30 when people were crying out for work, it not the people that are whingers, it's the companies exploiting the working persons, Look around The Linc's area of the UK, going to be renamed Lincpoland.
True, tonyav, and France may be getting Poles now. Immigrant labour from the EU certainly woke some French workers up. When the Port Vauban, Europe's biggest yacht harbour, was built in Antibes, the locals were delighted at the prospect of all the jobs servicing the boats. The employment of locals lasted all of a season. Thereafter the workforce was from every EU country but France because owners soon discovered that French workers didn't turn up when expected and would leave jobs half-done, and had a relaxed attitude to jobs.
I employed a French builder there. The only Frenchman he employed on the job was the plumber and that was only because the fraternity of plumbers was so strong. He even employed an English sparks at one point.
In recent years, it's true to say that the French firms and workers have upped their game: that's probably to do with having EU competition in workers and occasionally takeovers of French companies by non-French companies.
