Poles - yes they DO take our jobs!

I have just been browsing through an old website when I came across the following report (this report was written last year):

British workers are being denied jobs in agriculture because they do not speak Polish. The huge influx of migrant workers from the eastern European country, who have taken jobs in agriculture, now means that a knowledge of Polish is vital for those wishing to take agricultural work.

The east of England has been inundated with migrant workers, who take jobs in fruit picking, packing and food processing plants. Farms and other employers rely on gangmasters and agencies to supply them with immigrant staff. They are denying work to local people, who find there is little or nothing available in the Job Centre and so try the local employers in person. Gangmasters then tell locals that they will not find them work because all the staff speak Polish.

North East Cambridgeshire MP Malcolm Moss raised the issue in the House of Commons. He said that the migrants were displacing the locals in the workplace, working in places where traditionally local people had worked. He also said that it “was no good saying that migrants were only taking the jobs that local people did not want.”

The number of eastern Europeans, particularly Poles, who are working in Britain could be as many as 800,000.


Now, if the British workers who wanted jobs were being denied them because the Poles in the jobs all speak Polish, then the Poles should be put on the first plane back to Warsaw, Wroclaw or Cracow and "their" jobs given to the local British people who want them.

Today's newspaper carry a headline that nearly all the jobs created in the past seven years have been taken by immigrants. The story that they only take jobs that British will not do is a lie, I know that for a fact having seen places which once employed British workers but no longer do so, preferring instead the Polish influx.

To read the shocking story of how British workers are being denied the chance to work, click here. The fact that these jobs are advertised abroad first, thereby giving foreigners priority, is nothing short of a scandal. No other country would put foreigners before its own people.
