Is this something else we've gained from the benefits of a Multi-Racist Britain?
Where will it end, working for pea-nuts, poorer education, over burdened NHS, over crowded housing stock, and now child slavery?
Sounds very much like we are turning (more quickly than I first thought), into a 'Third World' country.

Nothing to do with multi-racial, more to do with joining the EU.
Now we are in the EU, anyone from any other EU can come here as they please (pretty much).
Romania is a poor country so many of them come here.
I was walking round Birmingham the other day and a coach with Romania plates pulled up and a load of Romanians got out.
Of course many of these will either be exploited like these people and finish up picking fruit, or turn to crime.
Lots of them now make money by taking part in Sham marriages, where they get paid by someone from Africa (or elsewhere) to marry them. This then gives the right for the person from Africa etc to stay in the UK. What a farcical situation.
It was in the news just today, see here

But of course the politicians will tell us being in the EU is a benefit.
Bit by bit this country is going downhill.

This is the direct result of supermarkets trying to get the absolute lowest unit price for goods.
Don't blame the farmers - blame us for demanding rock bottom prices. In the 1950s, 30% of the average household budget went on food, now its 10% (I got that statistic from a BBC4 programme on the changes in the British food industry).
Perhaps if we boycotted supermarkets and instead spent our money in local shop where we knew the provenance of our food, the large chains would wise up.
But that would mean us making an effort, and let's be honest, we'd all rather jump in our cars and load up with a fortnight's shopping at an out-of-town hypermarket, than support local businesses.

Kind of agree with you sp, except my purse doesn't!
I simply can't afford to purely shop locally, the small shops in our town center charge the ruddy earth even for basics. My budget dictates I shop at big supermarkets. Harsh but true.
Helen- Spare child? Heck yeah, a 5 year old, i'll send her round. £10.00 an hour (Paid to me of course) and I'll throw in a bag of crisps for her dinner.
Mike- we could send them to Chile?
