Yes i watched it and it didnt do the towns people any favours. I work and have trained people from easten europe and have found them well educated pleasnt folk, there are some of course who are the opposite jusi llike us in fact. They do jobs that in the past locals didnt want to do, the staff turn over where i work was tremdous over a year, because locals work expectations were higher than standing on a food line 8 to 12 hours a day,and i dont blame them. Shouldnt immigrints be using there education and hard work building there own countries after all there goverments paid for it. The days of unskilled work is comming to an end and we are heading for an under class of people with no future of earning a decent living, i myself was not accademic and i am comming to the end of my working life. Would i have any chance to day if i was just starting out......NO
I watched the programme about immigrants last night and dont think it showed wisbech people in a very good light.We say that the immigrants are coming here and taking our jobs away from us but are we really showing enough interest and working hard enough to go out and get a job.Dont get me wrong i think that they should really concentrate and get work in there own country,but should we take it out on them if its us that have allowed them to enter our country.Would alot of our people want to be up and about early to go and work on the land,its not an easy job.i should know as my parents were landworkers.We should also be looking at employers as its them that are taking the immigrants on after all.
I've had no trouble finding work since moving to this area 2 years ago, although I don't have much in the way of qualifications. I don't blame the landowners for taking on the immigrants when the reality is that Brits (not just local to this area) would rather sit and watch tv all day whilst being funded by taxpayers than have to get up in the morning and work hard for their money.
