So the economy is going to the dogs, more people are now unemployed than at any time in the last 17 years and to top it all 1 million youths are out of a education, employment or training! The cause for this, according to the Daily Mail, is foreigners!

I hate the head in the sand mentality of some of the British press sometimes, how irresponsible is that. In a day when racism is could possibly cost Sepp Blatter his job for is “solution” to racism, how can these rags get away with such inflamatory headlines. So I got upset listening to the radio driving into work and had 1 question for the xenophobics, “Who is giving foreigner those jobs?” beside how is it that foreigners are coming into the country and the British people all stand by and watch them take their jobs without recourse?

I am not going to write this piece and suggest that I have all the solutions but I think there is a need for the media and all the British people whose jobs are being taken by foreigners to ask themselves why their fellow British people are giving jobs to foreigners instead of them. WORK ETHIC, CAN DO ATTITUDE and RELIABILITY.

Foreigners have a purpose and goals to achieve from their jobs, it is not day to day life as it is for the British, for foreigners a job is an opportunity to change their life and those of their dependents so they have focus and determination from the very beginning and it filters through in their application at work, in getting to work and in presenting themselves for work. And not all British people are lazy, choosy or unwilling to work but obviously there are gaps to fill in the labour market and employers will hire people that fit within the company’s expectations.

Ask any employer or person whose responsibility it is to employee people on behalf of any company and they will tell you that there is a certain clarity in the dealings between foreigners and the employer that is sometimes missing with locals. I can testify to this, I employed a middle aged british man who hadn’t worked for 4 years to teach accounts at a good wage and he lasted 4 weeks, turned around and sued for being overworked! Out of 54 British and foreign staff he is the only one but it is not too difficult to choose to leave work because the welfare system will ensure that he has a roof over his head, healthcare and food. Others, like foreigners, are not so lucky so their relationship with work is different.
