- John Harris visits the flatlands of East Anglia, where support for Brexit runs high, and where a huge number of people from central and Eastern Europe keep a vital part of the UK economy ticking over. From cheap vegetables to Amazon parcels, what goes on here affects all of us. But those who have settled here are increasingly worried about the immediate future, while businesses fear ‘falling off a precipice’

I can sympathise but the answer to the question the woman asked of "Who's going to work £5-6 per hour?" is no one. No one should be working below minimum wage, in fact, in most cases it's illegal.
That's not the point. The point is they're willing to work 12 hours a day on minimum wage at their best effort.
Lazy Spark Yeah but you forget that we Eastern Europeans are a minority so no one cares enough to change things for us
Lazy Spark, that is exactly why the Globalists and the elite rich are in favour of mass immigration, for cheap labour.
She speaks about the time when she started. Minimum wage was £5 or £6 at that time.
No agency, factory or warehouse pays less than minimum wage.
If you know about anyone who does call police. It's illegal.
No it's not
I worked in a supermarket warehouse. The Poles and Lithuanians were impossible to keep up with. Those guys knew how to work hard. They put all the unioned British workers to shame.
mickeyhynes You pay for how they been welcomed, simple as that.
mickeyhynes no...you sir are lazy. English work hard...its just....you don't.
Lithuanian's and poles work hard because their own economy couldn't support their own people they probably havn't worked a real job for decades.
Daniel Tamou Savage!
mickeyhynes thanks :0
These businesses are being allowed to exploit these foreign workers because they are coming from worse situations.Its not their fault but it has kept British wages down.
you don't understand do you? if wages are higher then the prices of the commodities will be higher too the very commodities that you'll use that money on will become expensive
Things will go up, and the eastern Europeans will go home . We win
I'm Polish and I work as an IT professional.I pay my UK income tax, don't take any benefits. Here is the other side of the story that very few Brits are aware of: There are Tesco's in Poland in Romania thats killing small local stores, the big banks from London's city transfer a lot of money around Eastern Europe every day and they make millions on currency speculations. So you see we as East Europeans have been used and taken advantage of as well.
Of Course don't mind the british, they have money enough. Complaining is part of there comedy act. They also did this when they joined the EU for the second time.
@Cristian Voiculescu check out UK employment history after II world war before expressing your thoughts
But most Polish don't like British complain about us, call us lazy, & the nickname you give us, Poland is a big country 3/4 times bigger than UK yet alomost all Polanski is here, we don't have room for everyone, on top all the EU underskilled immigrants comes here only because of all the working tax, child tax, free housing & NHS, I sorry we can't cope with mass immigration, I do think most of EU should return to their country.
Esp. The underskilled ones on housing benefits.
@@AK-xj2di I live in London already for 7 years, never seen any eastern European on housing benefit or having council flat, just muslims or Africans who doesn't work and have 6 kids. That's the situation. Deal with reality please.
@@prometheustod
Are you kidding me?
Most people from EU are underskilled immigrants who is here for the benefit system, all EU who I have let were caliming housing benefits, they distroy the property by subletting the property without the owners consent, (by 10 people in two rooms )most of them keep the housing benefit them selves, & not paying the rent, keeping landlords, out of pockets, even bankrupt.
So stop making up tales.
It's simple, most of them come to work and do work. They were born and raised totally on expenses of their birth country. Just check how much a British child costs to the treasury until the day he/she starts to work! Well, the eastern Europeans never costed a dime, they arrive and start pay taxes. You will miss them!
Perhaps the Final Solution is to gas us all and replace us with immigrants. I'm sure a lot of UK and EU politicians would find nothing wrong with that.
Pay taxes? What on minimum wages? Probably get topped up with benefits, which are sent back to Poland. Oh yes, we probably pay child benefit for their children in Poland, as well.
kitemanmusic wtf are ya talking 'bout ?
Well yea, that was the big plan for the UK and western europe when they invited us into the EU... Cheap labor.. you got it... Im pretty sure the reason the migrant issue today exist because they got greedy and the leaders thought they could get basically free labor instead of us Central european hard working people... But we all know how it turned out in the end...
kitemanmusic we do have child benefits and child tax credit for childs in Poland , so it's our choice we want to received here in UK or in PL , what do u think that Poland is like Pakistan or something? LoL..
As a Romanian immigrant, when I saw the business owner's speech, I understood why people voted for Brexit. Utter disdain for workers. He wants to treat people like cattle and he is glad eastern Europeans are more willing. His company would not survive in France, or Germany, with their labour laws. That's why I fear Brexit is not the solution. I fear that the Tories might be worse than the EU. Zero-hour contracts do not exist because of the EU. It's illegal in some other EU countries. In Germany you have to pay a fine if you are caught working more than 10 hours in a day.
very interesting !!
Mare dreptate ai !
10 hour maximum??? Jesus Christ. How does Europe even function?
@@alexanderstrickland9036 No panic...It is not that bad
at the moment the government palm everything off as being the eus fault, we the people need to bring about change by mmaking our government responsible, we need to refuse to serve the elite until they pay a proper wage, we on the ground can look after each other, this is a class war and we can do it together
Would love to see a follow up on this episode to see where those business' are now and if they were able to survive the loss of labour due to Brexit or if it worked out fine.
i second that!
I am British and worked hard ever since leaving education and I have a beautiful daughter with a Czech and she is also a hard working mum it doesn't matter where your from if you're lazy you are lazy each person is an individual and we should stop all the hating and putting people into groups we are all human
Anton Antonson I do look at the mass immigration problem that us stretching our society that is why I voted too leave the EU my view is if you can contribute too our country leave the money in our circulation and pay taxes then you should be welcome, there is plenty of British people also that can work but just happy too live on benefits all their life
Anton Antonson that is a good point about welfare lowered as more incentive too get people into work as it benefits everyone I don't believe in asylum seekers who have not contributed too everyone and believe everyone as a right too their own view on things and at end of day we are all from same planet and should learn too respect each other and we should all think of the best way for humanity too move forward p.s I'm atheist and makes me sad most of killing in history as been in the name of one religion or another but I respect u have your own point of view and put it across politely.
I try not too categorize people as long as don't want or try too harm others it doesn't really effect my views. We are all capable of compassion, thoughtfulness and the ability to just care for humanity I don't box things into sections and we are all on same planet so I try and just enjoy what I have
@Anton Antonson We must have spent Billions protecting a few people from terrorism and failed, yet that same amount money could have saved countless more lives if it was spent on the sick and the aged but we choose not to. I'm not saying we should have spent anti terrorism money on the NHS , if saying if lives is what matters we should do both. Live expectancy in the UK has dropped 6 months under the Tories. The view of the problem is disproportionate. There will always be outliers in groups that want to kill people. It is a tiny problem in the great scheme of things. The vast majority of Muslims are not the problem but isolating them and attacking their right to be here is certainly making some isolated and angry and driving their motivations in the wrong direction so you are not contributing to a solution. You can quote the koran but the old testament is not much better yet christians are not seen as killers just ordinary people living a life. This video is about brexit and I think you will find the European migrants who are leaving anyway due to the poor pound will be replaced by Muslims and others. The businesses who fund the Tory party are not going to go without their cheap labour, plans are already being made to derive skilled and unskilled labour from Africa and Asia in order to compete. Its no accident that the only area of gov policy that has not published an impact document is immigration.
No judgments. It's not our job to judge. No one has that right. Britain was big into labels in the 40s and 50s...hmm "brainy, lazy, fatty" We are all here for a purpose. You take care of yours and let others alone - This is not personal, just a comment to all concerned.
It's interesting that noone mentions Eastern Europeans working as business people, as managers and supervisors because a lot of them do and they do an amazing job and speak great English. This video showed people with poor english, not eager to grow not educate and those who have just arrived..nice...media
There are many Lithuanian and Polish doctors, who speak absolutely fluent english and who do amazing job keeping your poor NHS from bankruptcy as you lack both funds and high skilled local labour.
Sorry, but what language are we supposed to learn? Polish, German, Spanish, French? English is the International language. Also, for an Eastern European to call Britons stupid is utterly ridiculous, Britain has achieved far more than any one of your nations.
Robis, what utter drivel. If Eastern Europe hadn't flooded Britain with millions of extra people, we wouldn't need as many Doctors or medical staff, to serve your ilk who are draining the NHS.
NHS 99% times gives you paracetamol LOL!
Nuno Moseii invaded and achieved is not the same.
I hope it doesn't need to happen, but that Polish guy that has 100% belief in himself and his work ethic no matter where he lives was frickin inspiring. That man is gonna be alright.
“You get on the phone and say; ‘Send me 50 people’”. Says it all really. Employers who want to just cream the profit with no sense of social or community responsibility. Workers are like disposable commodities rather than neighbours and fellow members of the community with which there should be shared respect and trust.
but you want cheap prices at the grocers, no?
And employers use free movement of labour to keep wages as low as legally possible?
@@Research0digo That's a fair point. But I'd add a couple of responses:
1. I don't think you can make the connection between cheap labour and low supermarket prices without considering issues such as the enormous waste of food that occurs due to supermarkets' absurdly high standards of food appearance ("wonky carrots", etc), and the way the supermarkets drive down producer prices in the name of profit. I'd rather buy directly from the farmer but I know not everyone has this opportunity.
2. Maybe we do need to face up to the fact that our food is too cheap. We're in a downward spiral of deflation, leading us into a low-value, low-productivity economy in which people earn low wages, subsidised by government hand-outs, and rely on cheap food to feed their families. All the while, the corporations get richer, with much of the profit going off-shore.
Are you willing to pay 25% more for your essentials?
These bosses want cheap labour, all they care about is money, it’s pure greed
That's capitalism
Bosses want workers who are reliable and efficient. Hence Eastern European workers getting the jobs.
Well, what will happen? Number of good-looking women will drop to half.
Lol! True
That was inexcusable! Loretta was a precious girl!
@k1ngw00d What a racist and mean remark! Man, if this is what the world is coming to it might as well just go up in flames.
You're right. The Brits who come to Spain on summer are way uglier than Spaniards.
@@whiteman6182 How is anything he said racist
Im gonna tell you whats gonna happen. If we eastern european people leave and you want economy productions and prices to remain the same. You will just have to work for yourselfes in these conditions. I dont see the problem for you. Are you scared you wont handle it? Well, good luck! Im sure you will find your way to explote some other foreighners. Maeby pakistani, indians, i dont know but im sure you will figure it out. Because many of you dont know what it is to work like that. You are afraid because you know you are going to fail.
You do realize that this country managed to get this work done by itself long before you lot came over and started doing those same jobs for peanuts right!
eric lovelace When? Before black slavery?
eric lovelace Oh! Weit, i know when!!! During your industrial revolution! You could hear Dickens crying from space about the hard it was! But I am happy for you!!! Now you can work for 6 p/h in your own factories. Thats what you wanted right?! You want to work for your own employers, remember, he want you to work without contract!!! Cool then!!! I cant wait to see you!!! Im gonna bring myself popcorn!!! Ha ha ha!!! :D
No we just want to be able to earn a living without being routinely under cut by wave after wave of imported cheap labour. We have had literally decades of this crap now and everybody has had enough of it. That's why we all used our precious & hard won vote to bring about Brexit. So you can bring all the popcorn you want but surely you can't blame us for trying to protect ourselves from being priced-out of our own jobs market.
eric lovelace You are right I cant blame you for that.
Actually, you've got far bigger problem than Central and Eastern European immigration. :P
Abi Princess Yes, there certainly is a sense of freedom among majority Muslim communities. Thank Allah for Pakistanis in the UK who prevented that evil blasphemer Asia Bibi from being offered asylum.
@Imperial Inquisition 2.5 million muslims fought in ww2 on the british side.
But hey, the poppy seed appeal is only for white english people, I guess.
How do you think these black/brown people immigrated to UK 70 years ago? They were given medals and houses as rewards. Polish people fought as well in ww2, many of them for britain. Poles died for britain. Now britain is killing polish people. How ungrateful can you get?
@@a_4_paper513 and now they blow up the brits in the underground
once eastern europeans realise the devaluation of the british pound as brexit progresses there will be no difference between staying in uk or in eastern europe and they go to germany france etc.
Very true Arthur.
And in a few years time, we're probably going to have a large number of British immigrants looking for work out here in the EU.
Oh, the irony.
Indeed. Right now is getting harder to get a job in London. Even as a waitress. No matter the quality of the cv
Another 27 Eu countries to chose from so there is plenty of choice to work
David Orr, the managing director of the packing company is the real problem. Nobody should be hired to work on a day to day basis. Companies would like to treat people like machines, to be turned on and off at their whim but that's inhumane. If a company profits from such crappy conditions, they deserve to go bankrupt. After all, we made slavery and child labour illegal for a reason.
It was still much better choice than die in our homelands without any kind of job...
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer
Amen
Amen
this is a Communist slogan. But people from eastern Europe know thing or two about what does it mean to be under Communism (anyone who is at least 35 can remember). For example, under Communism there are no rich and everyone are EQUALY poor, only the ones in power are "more equal" thant others, i.e. in essence you get same sh*t. The difference is that under capitalism system poor people at least have some chances to change their status when under Communism no matter how hard you try, because your wealth will be considered as a criminal thing, i.e. equality of income is the goal. And with time this kind of a system works like a demotivation, people become spoiled by the system - because it's a human nature to work in order to have more and not the same as the ones who are lazy.
i like old Scottie Fitzgerald's take: "the rich get richer and the poor get--
children"
Deividas Kavoliunas absolute rubbish. If anything, the collapse of communism has made Eastern European countries worse off. Corruption is rampant, most of the wealth goes to a very small number of people while the rest are left with less than they had under communism. I’m not arguing for communism here, I am simply stating that capitalism does not seem to be doing much good for most former satellite states and Soviet republics. (Understatement)
Many immigrant workers have one or two higher education degrees, still taking these kind of jobs.
People I've worked around people from other country's .....and they tell me straight ...Not to come to there country ....because I will get killed because of brexit ????? And all English are lazy .then go to Spain ...and again all Spanish are lazy .then another country .same again they are lazy to ???? Is anyone understanding any of this ..........
Saba so it's the Brits fault , you all want to diss us but keep coming to England , what is it , free this and that , go and knock some one else hypocrites
Saba t , why don't they stay in their own country then and use the degrees , make their own country better , don't come here and moan , this is England , you can't change our way of life like you all want , just go back to where you came from , you run to England for what our ancestors made better, you attempt to put us down , no way , we are in our own land , where we belong ,
@@blumoon7274 lol, it's not Europeans you should be worrying about changing your lifestyle, mate, look a bit closer to home.
East Europeans will leave the UK as they can integrate anywhere in Europe or overseas. They will be replaced not by Brits willing to work (as there were plenty of jobs for everybody willing to work but they have to get out of the house first to ask for one), but by immigrants from outside Europe, such as Indians, Chinese, Africans, Caribbean’s and so on.. the UK border is not closed to them and the truth is that there are more immigrants from outside the EU than from the EU but politicians have a different agenda and put in the table a different reason to cover their failing measures.
So you think Eastern Europeans were accepting low wages and for that reason you Brits couldn’t get out of the house to get a job than wait for the Middle East, Asia and Africa immigrants and you’ll see what low wage is.. they all survive on less than a euro a day, they know how to do it and still make saving. You know this is you travelled in these regions. Problem is that Brits won’t pay more ever when they can make more profit paying less and there is no control of even cheaper labour. Europeans are able to integrate in the society but the other ones, with a lot of respect, neither are able nor are willing to do so.
In conclusion, Brits get ready to teach how to wipe more asses as you did colonizing the world, as your colonies forgot already how to do it the moment you left theirs territories. Open your arms and be open minded as well to deal with it. UK is not anymore the “ombelico del mundo”
we are in control of our own borders now which means no one from anywhere will be coming in without or approval

"this is the price we have to pay for me to go to the supermarket and buy cheap teabags tomorrow" - no, this is the price we pay to ensure companies worth billions can continue to make obscene profits for the fat cat bosses and shareholders.
Crystal Method You do know that the whole point of being in business is to make a profit right and that the best way to earn profit is to cut costs.
If I were a business owner, the point if my business is ultimately to earn money for myself and to better my own standard of living and if it meant hiring migrant workers, using cheaper material or just outsourcing manufacturing to Vietnam, then I'll do just that.
If I weren't earning enough for myself or making a profit then I'll just close the business, let go of the workers and sell off the assets as remaining in business would be illogical.
Businesses are businesses. Not a charity.
When 95% of the worlds wealth is owned by 5% of the population, you have to ask whether this is an acceptable economic model. The stats clearly show it isn't, except for those who reap ridiculous profits off the back of everybody else in this country (not just immigrants).
***** Yeah but again, if employing British and keeping manufacturing in Britain becomes too costly and non-profitable, then the business owner won't be making a profit, they'd be spending more than he/she is earning and it wouldn't make sense to stay in business anymore.
If I owned a business in the UK and if I realized that employing British workers and keeping manufacturing in the UK was too costly for me, I'll just close down the business, let go of the workers, sell off the assets, move to a more business friendly place like Hong Kong or South Korea where cheap migrant Filipino, Indonesian and Vietnamese workers are abundant.
We need a ban on lobbying too.
These companies pay taxes that go to the government and finally to every citizen. If you were so smart you could have started a company yourself to earn "billions".....
I really hope Poles from UK will return to Poland. Our country have invested a lot in that people (education is for free in Poland, even most universities are for free) and then we lost them. Typically they are hard-working and brave people so I think they will speed-up development of my country when they return. They are really welcome here!
gremik1973 i am going back this year 4 people from my factory is gone back with their families and some are planning to do the same
not beacouse of brexit low wage or hate towards us like you can read in comments
the reason for them as for me is the same-ISLAM !!

If they would have been so welcomed they would not have left. Nobody leaves a good life!
I am going to go to UK in a few years, probably shortly after graduating from Middle School. I will make an attempt to find and apply for the job there. I promise I will work hardly and I will give everything what I can.
I hope they don’t return to Poland I have met some amazing people that I would never have met without free movement. You get to learn about a different culture, I’ve been to Poland and it’s a great country

It will not make any change for those people who are already in the UK and have a Job. Nobody will send them away. Things will slightly change for people who try to come to the UK until they realize that those restrictions are nonsense and effect only british business and then again everybody will be allowed to come again. It is already hard to find skilled labour in the UK after Brexit because lots of EU citizens already dont want to go somwhere where they feel unwelcome. People already rather choose Germany,Austria,Denmark,Sweden,Nehterlands,Switzerland etc altough britons think the UK seems to be something like a Eldorado for Europeans.
Man I if people only voted Brexit thinking it would stop immigration..think again ..you gotta be joking ..or stupid

All you departing eastern Europeans, come to Australia, we,ll welcome you with open arms.The people,the food,the weather,everything in Australia is better than the UK.
I really dislike the fact how Poles are presented in many of those documentaries. I get an impression you think that all the Polish people do the worst/low-paid jobs, speak little English and live in this country on a "survival" basis. Why don't you show all the successful people, who started from zero but climbed to the top? Young, prospective students who came here alone at the early age and through their hard work managed to get to the top universities? How about nurses, doctors, engineers, IT people? They live in work in the UK too! Why is this never shown??
somepolly Because they don't like it.....they are just incriminating us......don't come East when the religion war starts
Would be too much to show
1/3rd of the management in my current company branch are Poles. Quality people.
somepolly Two reasons.
1. If there are Eastern European people who have got good jobs from their degrees but, black and Asian British born people can not. Despite having the same degrees. It speaks of a level of racism which still exists in society which is unspoken.
The other thing is.
2. The rumour that English people are very lazy will appear to be true. How can the majority of immigrants appear to be doing a lot better than the native English themselves? That too will be questioned if it is true.

Has anyone considered that without a supply of cheap labour a lot of industry will simply shift overseas due to international competition? This will worsen the UK's already huge trade deficit and result in fewer "British jobs for British workers" not more. Something to ponder.
Robert Luckhurst Most industries that actually produce things have already packed up for that exact reason. There is nothing ever stopping businesses from moving internationally, it doesn't mean we must capitulate to their every need.
@dominic k You're not very Smart are you? Dutch inbred?
The point is that wages have been squeezed because (bless them) Eastern Europeans are willing to work for that little.
If big bosses can't get away with paying as little as possible and making people work all the hours that god sends then wages will go up; This is called Supply and Demand.
We should get our own people off welfare and into work instead of paying them to sit on their backsides.
It is now but that was only in the last year; We've had open boarders with Poland since 2003 so it's too little too late and the damage has already been done (this is coming from a University graduate who worked for minimum wage in pubs for four years with a £30,000 student debt before finally getting a reasonable job).
We should install a strong work ethic mentality for our unemployed rather than allow them to rot on welfare and never better themselves
What has that got to do with what we were talking about? :s
If they werent here they'd have to pay more. And before the farmers try putting their prices up they'd better remember it's a competitive market out there.
squizza28 yes that's right it's a competitive market. So prices won't rise we can just import our food stuffs from abroad. And then farmers won't even be needed......though then I guess they won't need to employ our own people so just keep them on the dole. And we can add farmers to thar list too. And all the food factories and further processing factories won't be needed either. So they will be on the dole also. Hell we can just import everything that's needed into this country no jobs for everyone. Yeah!
That's true, benefits are given to people and a big chunk of it is given back via taxes (i.e. cigarettes & booze!)
I don't personally agree with vouchers for other reasons, I just think that you should never be better off on benefits than in work (I worked in pubs for minimum wage, paying rent for four years when I could have been getting more money claiming jobseekers and housing benefit instead).
This is so true. Britain and British want to buy everything for as little as possible. Not on quality or variety. If you want to pay the minimum price, then this is the situation.
And the rich are as bad selling off companies for a quick buck. No loyalty to their country

England starts to be too expensive.
The car insurance are outrageous, (A car that cost 200£ to insure in my country, in UK, the isurance companies charge me 1920£ ???). Renting a house+bils is around 1000£, the prices are getting higher, and sadly the weather is not to nice in this country, and for a lot of people the weather is a important factor.
The majority of emigrants come in UK to earn money, stay a few years (2-5) and after that, they go back.
In this case, is starting not to be so profitable to live in UK.
In my opinion, doesnt worth it to live in UK, anymore. Untill January me and my wife we will leave. Thanks for everything, but sadly this is not the country to live all my life.
Good luck!
yeah..and he will bring wtih him the money he earned..plus pension..plus the benefits he received from the welfare. Ergo the UK CITIZENS spent a lot of taxes on this guy and his wife..the company he worked for took alot of tax cuts...and all the burden will rest on the Uk citizens and public debt.
Thats why we have a crisis of debt in Europe.
The welfare works only if the benfits given out are REPAID WITH TAXES! If immigrants come and then go away they basically avoid paying the debt they created. THe system is flawed.
You won't be missed

I move home to Hungary this year. I spent an extremely hard 7.5 years in the UK. Would have never done it in Hungary.. I mean the amount of working hours, the accomodation (extremely expensive even if you give up your privacy).. But i did it because I always knew that it is temporary for me.. I knew that It is not "my life" so i remained "loyal" to my employers. I knew that the relatively tiny savings that i could do every mount after almost a decade can set me financially free in Eastern Europe.. So i did not care my life quality and how hard i have to work for how many hours a weak and how mutch i had to obey.. I think that on these sectors of the labor market of the UK there is a very sick competition.. I mean it is sickening even for me that British guys at home were put in the position to compete with me or go homeless or sign on..because i would not accept it as a "life"
After all i think that the rich had slipped out of democratic control in the UK, those you as a working class person paying your rent and give your labor to.. Brexit will change the economy, will kill those companies/sectors that were based on unsustainable exploitation of people.. What was going on in the UK in the past 10 years is a clear example for that the "free market" on its own is not an invisable hand that puts everything to the right place, specially not if it is an internacional invisable hand..after a point it is a hand that purely staffs the pockets of the wealthy and creates a situation that requires BREXIT.. At least
There are a lot of British people who are doing exactly what you did. Work hard in the UK and then emigrate to an EU country where the cost of living is cheaper. It's not just a few of us either, it's a mass exodus. Millions of Brits have left the UK.
Thanks for the cake
Thanks for all your friends
Nem lessz Brexit. Minden hamiss.
Ban agency work ..it enables employers to give less full time jobs and the rights and pay that go with it..
Polish and Hungarians will always be welcome in Britain they helped us fight this threat in WW2, not only are they hard workers but smart too!
nothing to do with WW2 heritage... they just want money... nothing more, many misrepresent themselves to councils to acquire social-housing to simply enable increased remittances... most are Anglophobes with a rudimentary grasp of English, of course not all are nakedly self-serving opportunists... but there is a reason to the fact there's 930K more poles in the UK than English nationals in Poland... they organise behind the scenes to maximize their advantage over us in terms of benefits etc, sounds pretty harsh/xenophobic right? call me a racist if you want yadda yadda yadda... In this febrile environment post-Brexit the left-wing media give a false account of the schism... of bigots under the bed etc etc... it's this false zeitgeist which some foreign nationals take advantage of... misogyny bigotry & hated eh... blah blah blah... anyway go hug a Romanian dentist...
Oh aye, i know many take advantage also the people that want to see Britain gone, teach them and give encouragement, i know the whole pc thing is bull but how can we get around it without being demonised?
Lol! please let us keep British dentists!
Nigerians helped us in WW2 and even after that, in Malaya in the 50s for example - King's West African Rifles. As well as in WW1. So your point is????
@@simonh6371 well they don't feel welcome

These are the people that created welfare in you fucked up country.
Just an FYI, western europe, and mainly the UK, benefits MUCH,MUCH more than we do in Central Europe. You mofos made local industries and commercials extinct due to the pisspoor quality, cheapass products, that were shipped here, made by us in, for example, the UK.
That money that goes back to the UK is MUUCH more than you guys lose by having the remnants of the salaries going back to our homelands.
So you can be grateful for the booming industries and wealth that we create there, on our own expenses.
No immigrants dont "create welfare". Welfare existed BEFORE immgiration. Guess why it doesnt work now? ebcause once citizens WORKED and thus paied their welfare. Now they dont work because immigrants accept the same jobs for lowered wages thus the citizens are at home unemployed and immigrants go BACK to their countries mostly..thus the welfare debt is CONSTANTLY GROWING!
Immigrants are not a solution..they are a placebo...the welfare state cant go on like this.
Oh no they’ll have to give jobs to the people who live there AND pay a fair wage?! The NERVE.
Come to Ireland, there is plenty of work in hospitality here
Ah, the famous Irish hospitality.
Do u honestly think that poles want to b here? And work among the brits who dont know many minutes is in 1 hour or not sure if after the winter time theres spring. Like, seriously?
Lol. Yes I do think they'd like to be here. People would kill to live in this country.
half your country seems to be here so ummmmm yeah
Most of you migrants sit around in town centres or your ghettos getting pissed on cheap vodka.
Yes that's why half of the Poland are in UK & don't want to go back to their beautiful country!
If your business relies on cheap disposable 'slave' labour it is not viable.
In 2004 Britain was opened up to much of Slavic Europe without the consent of the people ! Whatever individual views people have are on immigration, I don't accept that such a demographically changing action should have been allowed without the majority approval, tacit or formal, of the British people. The country has now been altered irrevocably.
I'm sure that Poland is growing economy but we barely recently has got the same economic level as Portugal. I would never think that Poland is so attractive for Ukrainians.They are in shock .Can you imagine that you have to work with minimum wages 2 min in the UK to buy a banana in Poland 5 min and in Ukraine up to 1 hr? They have war with Russia and we have many refugees from there.
but I know many Pakistani voted for Farage ,poor people not aware of their status in the UK that they are also immigrants.
KatchouroBlade remember that if you will travel to EU and across border between Nortern Ireland and RoI;)
Germany will benefit a lot from brexit.
yep the bankers of London are preparing to move to Frankfurt indeed !
To pay the tab that uk pays at the moment ?
Germany with all the Muslims they have is absolutely fucked! Wtf are you talking about?
German car manufacturers won't. unless they can cut a sweet deal with the UK.
@Snow 123 NYC generates more wealth than all of the UK. It's not a bad problem to have.
The irony of the Pakistani guy @ 0:24 who wants foreigners turfed out.
He wants more Pakistani immigrants, not EU immigrants.
don`t worrie...indians and afrikans will take place instead of europeans. As a european i just want brexit to happen more quickly.
nicktk Your not the only one,trust me.....we will see the british population swallowed up by the muslims and indians on the news.
As long as they speak english who cares. I work with europeans you lot are rude,lazy and don't speak english
Lol I'm neither of them but what's wrong with Indians they are hard working people a lot are doctors better than use lol
@GD I never heard. Italians were fine with them, the germans also. I met indians working hard but because they are scary of their job maybe. I know also that the mentality is another one than an western european. The indians must change their mind a little bit (also the east european) and like this they can change their chiefs minds, because those ones are profiting from these hard workers peoples paying them so bad. I see the sellers and deposit workers, the most of them are foreigners with low incomes. For example at mcdonald's in Germany they give you 9-10 euro/h and they sell in a day for at least 5000 euro in 2 shifts. I worked also in a shitty bar on the highway for 8 hours and all income was around 600 euro/day and they have paid me with 10 euro/h. But we had clients just 2-3 hours while at Mc'Donalds they are always selling
@GD I have never known anyone having problems with Hindus or any other Eastern religion. Except Islam, who really deserve the reputation they have made for themselves.
I have zero sympathy for those business owners. If you cant pay a decent wage you shouldn't be operating. Right now you are surviving off low wage benefits subsidised migrants so in effect we aren't getting cheaper produce as we are paying taxes towards benefits and housing. The sooner they go out of business the better.
Lol. Would you Pay A picker or packer 20 quid an hour?
I'd pay between £8.50 - £10
@@AliveOrigami , hah, sure! I have a BA and am doing an MA part time and I work as a Learning Mentor (like a specialised Teaching Assistant) in a school for children on the autism spectrum - I love what we are providing for those kids to be able to access education, but it's intense, stressful and hard work - and full time hours (longer than standard school hours) - and we get paid minimum wage!
@@Czadzikable what's with using hyphens as commas?
£7,14/hour? This is about what a farm labourer gets paid in Australia ($17), which is not enough to live on in a city. The UK has a problem, and it has nothing to do with the EU.
Then there are those Brits who "have lived in Spain for six years,and haven't learnt a word of Spanish ", as the fool in Málaga boasted to me. ¡Tonto!
£7.14 wouldn't get you 12 bucks. But conversely i pint ozzy would get you 3.5 pints in london.
Why Brits abroad are called Expats and not IMMIGRANTS?!?
Why? Why would Eastern Europeans leave? Why can't blacks mixed race and Pakistanis since they're the ones with the biggest crime rate?
Danyal Lol Eastern European have the high crime rate too ,also you can't kick out a mixed raced person because they're ethnically/genetically half British so their blood is tied to the land .How can you say a Eastern European belongs more to the country than a mixed person ??
let's be honest some of the them look more British then some so called British people lol

I must say, I have met some lovely Eastern European people but the reality is, they're culture is different to ours and constantly hearing foreign languages everywhere can be a bit overwhelming and it can make you feel a bit like an outsider in your own country. Germans, Dutch and Scandinavians have a similar culture to British people but they don't really come to this country.
I can assure you their (not they are) culture is the same as ours. They want to work, raise a family, most are church goers, respectful and friendly, like the UK was 80 years ago.
I've lived all over the world so have never been afraid of anyone 'not like me' like the British are. I'm not overwhelmed in the slightest. I shop every week at my local Polish supermarket and buy the things I used to buy when I lived in Germany and buy other food at nearly half the price of local British supermarkets.
The beauty of controlling your own immigration policy, is that if you need more workers of a particular type, you can adjust the rules accordingly.
That's kind of how it currently works. When the UK economy does well foreign workers come across for jobs. When the UK economy shrinks, some of them go home.
Not with free movement no. There are benefits and drawbacks to immigration. While in the EU we don't have the control.
splodge Brussels have to worry about everyone in Europe and not just UK. thats why you selfish pricks.
José Dourado well you don't have to worry about us anymore - so one less to 'worry' about (one less to control lol) good riddance...
dannyboywhaa UK ISNT gaining control, its losing control because being out you cant vote sht in whats going on the EU. being out you Will not need to have migrants working there because you will not sell as much. your vacations in Europe will be more expensive but hey, everything what makes you happy living in your imaginary safe bubble.
If the UK will suffer so much why does the EU tell us that, 'we have can't have our cake and eat it?' Surely, the EU would say, "OK" no more migration for you and we'll just watch you suffer. Strange.
What the cardboard box manager in wisbech failed to mention is..When you hire agency staff and have to pay min wage. £7.30 then there is a mark up of up to 30% to the agency. hence he is paying £10ph for agency foreign labour. If he just employed brits for £9-10 then he would have hard working brit workers. who can work just as hard as there foreign eastern european counterparts. so start telling the truth. What this employer doesn't want to do is employ anybody permanent. pay maternity and sickness pay and using correct employment practices which he has to do if it was a brit. With a eastern european he can just say he doesn't need them the next day. Its immoral but that's the way the british elite work
Well, that guy explained it all. One day he might need 50 people, next, only 5. So what's the point of employing anybody for £9-£10? British economy operates on just-in-time principles, regardless whether it requires lean, agile or le-agile aproach towards running business. In any case, the most desirable factor for any employer is flexibility. Without it, you gonna see less rivalry within a market, which will inevitably translate into higher prices and lower salaries. If there's only a few companies of a particular type left after economic change, do you think they gonna lower their prices, when there's only a limited number of competitors present in their niche? Do you think they will fight for employees with higher salaries, when a lot of people will be looking for a job?
Let me tell you mate - no - it doesn't work this way.
You are just another example of a person who would like to have a cake and eat it too. Evan a kiddo knows that it's impossible to have it both ways.
It would be a lot more reasonable to start asking loud why taxation is so high, why housing market bubble is so big and why the hell inflation consumes wages and salaries so fast?
timbuddy1960 You couldn’t be more accurate , he said he was worried he wouldn’t find the labour , he’s worried he will have to pay a decent wage to permanent staff he can’t hire and fire !!!

When it comes to stupidity, let's stay objective and follow elementary
science, especially so called 'normal distribution'. Number of 'stupid'
people in every European nation is more or less equal to the number of
those that might be considered as 'wise'.
I don't think that Great Britain is any different.
However, there's also another factor, factor that affects my personal judgement of Brexit-related affairs.
Somebody said that Europe is full of failed empires, most of which got over own
decline long time ago and transformed into entities seeking to obtain
the highest possible level of competitive advantage in some field/fields, utilising modern means, different than imperialism.
British Empire collapsed roughly around 75 years ago, which is not that distant point in British history.
What does it mean?
It does mean that there's quite a lot people actually born in British
Empire, still alive, and most definitely that romantic memory of past
glory of British Empire is still alive in minds of the most part of
British society.
So, being brief, it's entirely possible that
British society is still getting through the process of 'getting over'
British Empire failure.
Hence, mentioned society experiences some problems in perceiving reality as it is.
'We will be better off without EU' - voters decided.
Is that true?
I would consider it as more feasible, if I saw that Great Britain has a
detailed plan regarding how to conduct Brexit process, at the same time
describing future path of rebuilding own position, available for every
citizen and resident since few years ago, being specific, since
pre-referendum times.
Did that happen? No.
So, now it's just a 'lucky dip'. Post-Brexit Britain might work, but most likely
won't. At least in a short term. And it might take decades to only balance losses, not mentioning about development of self-made
competitiveness.
One needs to play Lotto at least onece, to
realise that mentioned lucky dip isn't the best way to invest own
resources, while counting on becoming rich.
Are Britons ready to sacrifice their own standard of living and prove that they are better off without EU?
I don't think so. And that's the source of my biggest concern. Brexit itself is not as painful as the shock Britons will experience after it, especially if it's no-deal Brexit becomes a fact.
Wishful thinking, based on memories of British Empire, combined with disappointment caused by post-Brexit state of affairs and declining quality of life, can be really dangerous.
World doesn't revolve around UK anymore. That's the fact.
The other fact is EU won't be better off without UK. I hoped for British presence and strong stance regarding EU reform, needed so badly these days.
I guess it's not very likely now. Shame, shame we are now sentenced to German and French rule that will most likely lead other EU countries to nowhere.
@@jgt_ There's that saying: hard times create strong people, strong people create good times, good times create weak people,weak people create hard times.
Also, I have been told many times about that cycle of generations - first one is relatively poor, second one works hard, so the third can have fun. After times of fun mentioned cycle starts over.
Those are father examples of folk wisdom, however they seem to be matching with some of your conclusions.
Anyways, let's hope for the best, while being prepared for the worst.
Wrong, the employer will have to pay at least 30% more for a full time, wages + benefits
Temporary jobs are the problem. That business guy couldn't give an answer for why he can't employ people continuously. He could have five people working every day of the year making his lousy boxes and store them when there are extra and use those when the bigger orders come in. Using temporary labor means none of them have any benefits or money.
storage still is a huge expense. also, you can't start producing till you have an order because you don't know what the customer will want
David at the box company is worried he can't get his hands on 30 low paid workers at short notice and that's all he's worried about , he has built a business around a skeleton staff , very foolish .
and those 30 are mostly immigrants..meanwhile that same company 30 years ago would have been hiring 10-20 Englishmen..thus providing STABLE jobs, thus taxes, thus funds for NHS and pensions.
The current system instead only works for companies: they dont hire but only call people tru agencies meanwhile theres 10-20 Uk citizens unemployed thus the Welfare system doesnt work.
The agencies are the root to all evil
Just look at the 'uniform' of the owner. One of the rich that got his money by the hard work of others. He wont't be in busy much longer if he doesn't change his employment practices.
You shouldn’t blame others for your own incompetence dear British politicians...
That place looks like Silent Hill so better to stay at home.
UK No Thanks!!

This really didn’t do the East of England any justice, but it really is a beautiful place with so many lovely historic villages, towns and cities etc to see.

You can't have a good life on a minimum wage.
of course you can
exactly, of course you can. Brits are mighty spoiled though.
Unemployment below 5%, and the opportunity to find a job in 27 other countries and some bums still have a problem doing that. Gods the lumpen proletariat is the same everywhere.
As an Estonian, no way in hell i would work for 7 quid an hour doing more than 12h hours a day. How the hell do these workers survive?
Eastern Europeans who work these jobs, House share. 10 people may rent a 4 bedroom house and all chip in for the rent and other costs, So they're out lay is very little, that's how they survive..
That is actually really sad. Imagine working 200h a month, getting 1440 quid- taxes a month and having no personal space at all.
it's how east londoners use to live a hundred or so years ago
MikhailZavarov people are doing it now to live closer to the city! Most of the houses where I live are being bought and then being advertised as house shares! £150/200 a week for a room, for a example a four bedroom house will generate £2400 a month for the landlord..
Because people cannot afford to buy anyway unless they buy in a group, a house across road from me sold for 650k another house is going 750k and this is in Tower Hamlets!
KD84Afc™ When I checked the UK gini index, it didnt seem that bad(tho it has risen considerably in the past decades)
As a Black British person, I have to say Eastern Europeans and Europeans in general have a much stronger 'work ethic' than we British do. I was born and raised in London and throughout my Careers I have met the loveliest, hardest working Europeans ever. Sorry, but we British, black, white or otherwise need to learn from these diligent people instead of complaining about them taking the jobs *we weren't prepared to take* before they arrived! They are smart enough to understand you need to start from 'somewhere' and work your way up .... we British should follow suit.
We need a Labour government the Tories just want slave Labour and wait until after Brexit the Tories will be worse.
well there is such a thing as a guest worker, who will come just to work for the period needed
Believe or not... Poland has same problem with Ukrainians. Last years 2 millions Immigrants(and some refugees) from Ukraine migrated to Poland. Many of them work for like 2$/hour. Many Poles complain they taking Jobs and so on
we are /have gone back to Victorian times, where ppl queue outside factories hoping to be picked for a days work. sickening
I left school at 15 years old, working a 43 hour week. I had to be up and out for the 6.45 am bus into the city then a connecting bus to where I worked in a factory as a sewing machines. It was hard work for very low wages with 2 weeks holiday a year, no sick pay, so what are these people on about?
We celebrate because we can get a job, instead of being discriminated against because they are cheaper.
10 of thousands come to work yea,, but tens of thousands come to suck the benifit system dry ,, why dont you tell the truth we have 12 immigrant families on my road only 2 work ffs ,, the bosses should pay better wages instead of courting cheap labour
"if I have to employ 50 people here throughout the year i wouldn't last a week" sounds to me like you don't have a viable business there buddy, get more contracts to build cardboard shelves, simple.
the problem is nto that..he probably has TONS of contracts..the problem is COMPETITION. He has to compete with China and all of Eastern Europe where labor is cheap so he cannot produce at their sam price UNLESS he has cheap labor too..thats the root problem: without borders and without border taxes we are getting flooded by import from countries that produce at crazy low prices. We need to re-establish border taxes and protect our national economies. That way CHina products will be more costly thus Uk and French etc companies wont have to hire slaves but will be able to hire common citizens like they did once.

There the lucky ones they can escape when it goes to pot.
Typical Apathic Target Blaming on the part of those who call the English lazy. Everyone is filling their boots at the UK's expense especially Germany's Elite
The Poles may be in for a shock if they return home and find the Polish employers employing cheap Ukrainian workers. The bosses crying poverty and lack of money but Amazon , IKEA and Tesco are some of the wealthiest companies in the World. Amazon's owner has a trillion dollars of personal wealth and pays the lowest wages. If a company wont pay a good wage let it go bust. Apple build phones paying slave wages. There is class war and it is the rich making people live in hell. It is time to take the stolen wealth off the rich. To work less, to enjoy life more, to stop making rubbish, to have better lives. The World economy has grown 33 times since the 1980's and yet people are poorer. Why does the Guardian employ such an ignorant man as John Harris to make this nonsense?
Exaclty..worked for IKEA..they gave me scrubs and I worked over hours ..from 4 AM to 12...and they fired me and another 10 people as soon as there was a low work period to save on our wages...after 4-5 months they hired 10 "refugees" to do the same job.
This is SICK.
Same deal in Hungary. They are importing workers from Ukraine, Romania and God knows where for. My friend at a construction company in Hungary/ Budapest was surprised that haven't heard any Hungarian spoken, it's was all Ukranian or Romanian.
if u don't wanna be a slave go build your own company. we the people who r working for others r creating slavery. worked only max 2 years in my life for others. i can't get back there ever and don't get how people can work for others. thats slavery
Amazon pays more than decent wages in Germany at least, more than industry standard
It's pity that a lot of illegal Polish who had been working in the UK for many years illegally, upon returning to their country of origin successfuly open and run the businesses by employing cheap workforce from Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova. As polish why don't you try employing polish themselves ? Oh, probably because most of them already working for English, German , American.... and they fed up working for 2-3 pounds per hour. But of course they will work hard for 8 pounds abroad. So, don't complain about Ukrainian working for minimum wages in your country whereas you are content working overseas, specifically in UK, let alone USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Norvay, Ireland, partly France, Italy, Finland.
John Harris, congrats on a really great video. More of these grass-roots stories need to be heard.
Don't see the problem i work along with a Polish guy and English guy here in Northern ireland. The English guy is 55 and a workaholic. The polish guy messed up countless things. Even had to carry him on a job so you cant stereotype people saying that British are lazy is complete nonsense
Im so disappointed from uk.I was planning to go there as a high skilled person but all this racism.
nah..I don't want anymore.Let them alone
Racism in the UK is nothing compared to the amount of neo Nazi gangs I've come across in eastern Europe.

*40* Everybody is fine and those people become an 'integral part of the country' *and* its 'national identity'.
*50* GOTO *10*
4:58 this pretty much shows the distance between hofty-lofty politician "solutions" and on the ground reality
Why would they? They are better off here than in their own countries
'Businesses' such as the cardboard display production company are exploitative. Their existence is dependent upon a minimal contribution to the society within which they exist. The majority of their employees (temporary agency workers) come from overseas. The agencies themselves are exploitative. Employer contractual/financial obligations towards the 'employees' are parasitic and evasive of responsibility. These so called 'businesses' are not viable. They exist only by exploiting the workforce to survive. If such 'employers' think that they are successful in business they need to rethink! Employees are your business and if they are temporary, so is your 'business'!
and they like having it temporary..so they can close it and reopen it when they want..its the worst kind of Capitalism.
Then what who cares we will carry on and make Britain great again regardless.
I’m sure the Brexiteers who have no work, would work in the farms left by East Europeans and not whine about it.
Yes, of course they will. They are going to grow GDP with 3% on a annual basis picking fruit and folding cardboard display boxes.
better to import fruit and veg than import people
I would in a heartbeat, I've never been out of work, although I've had setbacks, redundancy etc and even had to resort to agency work. I've had no issues with foreigners as individuals, but the sheer volume of people competing for unskilled labour is an issue of course, and farmers have exploited that by paying low wages, yet you never get a poor farmer.
wow, ur so antibritish. Actually there are thousands of brits working hard in farms that you chose to forget
@@alexkomorow5708 the ones that pay 5-6 pounds an hour … I ams Ure they will be more then happy to work here when they get paid more from their benefits! NO BRAINER!
I'm 3 years late and on the other side of the pond. I wonder what a follow up report would look like for these people?
Move all the immigrants to areas that voted remain. Job done.
I agree. Send the bastards back to blighty.
While we are at it. Stop British holiday makers from spending their holidays and their money in Spain.
Also we should blow up all Spanish fishing Boats that get caught in UK waters.
Currently Spain exports 26 billion Euros worth of goods to the UK. The UK can stop buying goods from Spain and spend our money importing from commonwealth Countries instead.
Then we can watch Spain go bust.
spain will not "go bust" without the uk. a few hundred million ! other europeans buy their veggies and meat.
while you are at it, please also take in all the commonwealth nationals residing in EU countries. have fun with all those indians, pakistanis, and what have you not.
and, hate to tell you, but you will no longer own that fancy villa in france.
sarcasm filter off: the UK is overestimating their importance.
Spain won't go bust eh? Clearly you know fuck all.
SPAIN ON THE BRINK

Sure no problem, and where would this be? The central London, and let's all the brits who voted for Brexit work in these country side factories for £ 5 or £ 6 an hour..... Lmao !!!!! 😂😂😂
Central London belongs to Islam. They don't like immigrants.
We welcome foreigners who are willing to work but not all come at once, we cannot cope with influx, not enough housing,not enough school spaces, NHS over full, our speed of expansion cannot cope, so it has to be quatos
Thank you.
I have to laugh every time I see the The Guardian, does anyone in the real world actually read this comic of a paper.
this is just one sector... looks at hotel staff which are tradition entry level jobs for British youth, they are completely locked out of the market because of the cheap europeans
What about the disabled? They don't stand a chance. The Government Dumbsourced work done by the Remploy people ages ago. It's all about the self enrichment of an elite of Psychopaths. If you put yourself into the shoes of a person with no conscience you detect the doublespeak from the courtier politiciens and the unconcerned business leaders. Look for doublespeak: it's everywhere.
HaiLsKuNkY 100% I’m black British worked in a hotel for a recruitment agency was paid minimummm wage and the whole staff was polish . They barely spoke any English . I was only allowed to work 3 hrs because the workers took all the shifts and they where unwelcoming and could not explain clear instructions because hey didn’t speak good English . I couldn’t go back because the agency said. There were no more shifts but it’ was because I’m not
Polish .
Toilet cleaners too.
ln answer to the question, Britain would be similar to how it was before Eastern Europeans came, with the exception that then we would be forced to invest in and expand the training of the younger generation, rather than relying on other countries to do it for us.
Yes Mass Immigration is the "Externalising the Cost" part of the psychopathic business model.
But younger generation is not interested
There’s a huge complex problem here in the UK for decades! People have been pointing fingers at each other. So let’s just say; Bring on Brexit than we’re able to face the actual problem itself. Lots of people will than wake up and realize it’s not foreign workers problem
The world we live in is not going to get any better. Brexit or not, life must go on so suck it up and stop complaining people.
Before Poles turned up the cabbages simply rotted in the fields. Obviously.
I moved from western Europe to live in Budapest 7 years' ago and while my wages are far lower than what they used to be, my quality of life is 10 times better. Advice to Hungarians in UK - go back to Hungary where there is a labour shortage and cost of living is so much lower than UK
depends what job you do..unskileld jobs in Hungary are paid like 3 time less than in the UK.We are tlakign about the 90% of people. Those who dont have really requested skills and do simple jobs, the MAJORITY of people.
We need a balance here,pay more, less benefits for the businessmen. But the truth in uk is very simple, businessmen want to keep their margin and prices will go up. Then in uk around 20% of people struggle to survive now,if prices go up we will be in Dickens time.
after Brexit Britain will need cheap labour that can work speak English and can play cricket I see only one country that's India.
100 million Indians moving to UK after the Brexit will solve all the problems ! :D
indians are sound whats your problem?
I have zero problem with the Indians . I Just hope they will move in mass in UK :)) What I can't stant are the racists ! Indians moving in mass in UK , will make us happy lmao, just imagine the racists desperation there lol
indians are already here in mass and have been for 70 years
I'd far sooner have a free trade deal with india and have more free movement for india, which has historic links with uk, than have government from abroad (ie the EU) and free movement for anyone that we have no cultural ties to!
8:15 "So, you can go into the fields, if you want."
I can see countless British workers finally getting their coveted farm, warehouse and factory jobs and flooding in in an ungodly hour, with employers throwing £50 notes up in the air on an hourly basis.
We can’t bc you’ve lowered the standard so low that regular people can’t work those types of jobs for the small wages
@@domochoa _You've_ allowed the lowering of standards. The migrants don't get to vote on your laws; _you_ do. And now you shot yourself in the foot... again.
We are all born mad It’s not the laws. Laws can be broken.
Eastern and Central Europeans complain when others come into their land too...
with a population of over 70 million crammed into a tiny country you would think theirs enough bodies here, you never hear other countries complaining they need more people , their only to glad to get rid of the people they don't want and usually end up in the UK
The racism and arrogance of the British is appalling.
Totally agree
immitable it’s not racism to want the best for your people, and if u want racism look up at the comments above you to see comment after comment being racist towards British people
@@amitty9818 a taste of o
Your own medicine...like it ?
The arrogance is kind of owed to the British for literally sacrificing its Empire for your peoples freedom
@@CaesarsLegion1 yes in the past you did great things no doubt about ..but you have lost your way. Not the great Britain that used to be..
