Labour's take on immigration.

[jockscott]

I see on the news. Ed Miliband is making a speech on immigration.. Not what you'd initially think, no,, he's promising to take on unscrupulous employers who pay immigrants a pittance. I'm left wondering what he'll do for British workers exploited by the same employers? (probably fook all)

It is called the minimum wage.

What else do you expect 'the government' of any colour to do?

 

[sooey]

You wouldn't expect a government of the red coloured variety to encourage and allow immigration on a society changing scale to drive down wages for business. But they did.

1. They didn't allow it, it is part and parcel of being in the EU, which you DID vote for by voting for pro EU parties.
2. They genuinely believe in the EU project = jobs and wealth for all.

Call them gullible and stupid if you will, but do so for the right reasons.

Labour,, the immigrants friend (yet again)

Gullible isn't a word I'd use to describe the tw*ts who've wrecked this country. Duplicitous, lying, bast*rds. yes.

they don't pay the actual minimum wage yes the pay slips might say so
but travel costs gangmaster fees agency costs will bring that down to perhaps 3 or four pounds
then they will take off perhaps accommodation costs for the shanty town accommodation

It was labour who opened the flood gates for this very reason.
To be led by the carrot for labours benefit.

If the pay slip says £6.70 per hour then that's what they are being paid.

Working in a food processing factory at the moment.
About the only ones who speak english are the owners who I know very well.
All nice cars in the car park. Nothing shabby, certainly nothing that would make you think they are being paid peanuts.

There's jobs in it I wouldn't do for £40 per hour far less £6.70.

Yes the wage slip says £6.70 per hour, but then as Aron has said there are the deductions,
Put the wage up to £10 per hour and it will make more money for the Gang Masters.

What they pay to gang masters is their problem. Not the employers.
We paid our guys full whack and no gang masters btw.
Food processing factory mentioned above is the same.
