Eastern Europeans in UK are essentially Gastarbeiter, only here to earn some money and send it home or return home to buy a house or establish a business. They usually have no commitment to permanent residence and setting down roots in British society. Not surprising when the average pay in your country is £8000 a year, yet even roadsweepers earn twice as much in UK.

ya you right man
i have no problem with people come to work here there are lots of jobs going
but the people who come coz problem are not welcome
why dnt this scottish parliament have some new law coming out and stop all this people comeing in to uk

Scottish Parliament has no jurisdiction on foreign and immigration policy, which is the preserve of the Westminster Parliament. Those who are convicted of serious offence can be deported, usually at the end of their jail sentence when recommended by the judge. Some already have been.

The UK is a bit of a joke when it comes to immigrants, thatm uch is clear to everyone.
I have no problem with people coming to the UK and working and providing a better life for their family.
Hell that's what i plan to do in Canada, contribute to the economy and get involved in the community and pursue a successful career.

Problem with the UK though is we let these idiots get away with too much.
Like those ones who go around spreading hate towards the UK, saying the terrorists are doing good, saying they don't care how many British people are killed. They also publicly state that they laugh at how easy they can claim benefits and that the country is stupid for letting them.

And we still just let them do it....if that makes sense to anyone on the planet then they must be mentally insane.

It's not just the UK though. The whole 'western' world as it's called listens to much to human rights and all these goody goody people.
Look at those people like those who tortured and killed that baby a few years back. They now have new identities, immunity and have a wife and child of their own!!!!!!
Some women calls that person husband, some child calls him father. Having no idea of the horrific crime he commited and that they are in danger of having the same done to them.

The whole world is soft. It's pathetic.

Best thing to do...just get on with your life and hope it doesn't affect you personally. If it doesn't, just ignore it all and forget it.

I'm more of a get involved and try and change things kinda gal. If you aren't happy with the way things are run, you can just leave, OR you can stay and try and make your country a better place. If you are just going to sit back and complain and not try and make things better, then you might as well leave. Good riddance, I say. ;) Just my 2c anyway.

hey when i posted this ad i was in a bad mood and im sorry about it
but that dnt change anything
i know that people from uk are moving to spain,france and other parts of the world
but can you tell me how many of them are shoplifting, pick pocketing and bagging on st
i work for the police and i know how many of this eastern europen get charged everyday
and who is paying for this the TAX PAYERS not the people from your country
so dnt tell me to shut up next time
its my country and i have the right to talk about it

GOOD FOR NOTHING
 
#13 ·
Well I suspect the Brits shop lift just as much here in Spain as they do in the UK. Britain my country too and rather than take offence at the foreigners there, most of whom work hard for less pay than the British would. You should take a look at the "british" long term unemployed and social security/benefit abusers!! IMO, they are Britains worst enemy and they are the people who are destroying the country and making me ashamed to be British .

NOW CALM DOWN!

It doesnt matter to me what you call yourself - British, Scottish, male, blonde, human...?? You've got a gripe about things you dont like - as most people have! The law is not an easy one to change. These people have rights too - they can vote for who they want in power - whether its scottish elections, british or european. I cant see how it can go back!?

Dunno!? America and Europe would help us in a major crisis, Other countries ??????? Well those who cant even help their own people probably wouldnt - but we dont live in those places and I dont think (in the main) those are countries we'd want to live in.

The UK, and that includes Scotland is known for being compassionate - whether we like it or not. Not only to our fellow countrymen (even if they dont deserve it) and to those he we feel need it! It may cost us more in taxes, but for that price, we live in a relatively safe and caring place

The UK isn't half as bad as it's made out to be really. It's all very subject and depends on how much the 'bad' things affect each individual.
I live in a terrible town in the North East, notorious for drugs and idiots.
However, none of that has EVER affected me in 24 years. I've never known a drug addict, i've never known anyone on benefits, i've never known anyone who commits crime.
I bought a house in the nice area which covers half the town and is well away from where all the idiots live.
As for ow the UK is run, it's a poor system i know...and unfortunately these 'goody goody' human rights people have far too much say. They run the country and they have taking human rights way too far.

People say a murderer has a 'right' to another chance...i'm sorry but that should not be the case. You are brought up, you know it's wrong to kill another human so if you do you should forfit any rights. The problem then would be it'd go in the opposite direction and more and more rights would be taken from more and more people.

Just have to face facts, there will never be a good balance and just live your day to day life and forget about it, that's what i do.
Tax's are high yes, so i pushed for a good career from young and i have a good (although not amazing) wage for my area. If i can keep having my 2 holidays per year and always live in a nice house in a nice area then i can forget about paying £680 per month TAX. It sucks, but if it goes up i'll just push for a better paid job if i can.

I guess if you're in the police then unfortunately you do have to deal with all these idiots.

The UK, Britain, Scotland, Ireland.... Europe..........Whatever! People moan and always will, sometimes its justified and sometimes it isnt, those who are moaning now may get their way and then others will moan. Its how it is.

My point about Haiti isnt actually about the money its about the standard and quality of life!! Two thirds of the world are living in squalor, fear and are starving. Altho I moan too - we really should simply enjoy the wonderful lives that we have and be grateful that its only trivia that we have to complain about compared to that bigger picture! You're a long time dead!

Yeah that's what i mean. Our tax is high but i've recently spent a lot of time in and out of hospital over the last 12 months, and i'm back in for a day on Thursday. So i'm certianly pleased i pay tax and it allows for good healthcare when i need it. At least it allows for a good quality of life, far better than most other countries in the world.

I'm more concerned at how unclean most British people are, than how much tax i pay. The amount of people who don't wash their hands and things is disgusting. The country is clean enoguh and things, but too many people are not.
I can't wait for scanable credit cards to take off properly...1 more thing i don't have to touch after other people. haha.

The UK isn't perfect by any means, no country is...but it's certainly better than most places. Our quality of life is reletively good, especially if you get a bit of luck and push yourself hard enough.

Hell, at least we get to live in a nice new house, detached from others with huge beds, sofas and TVs. Plus still have money left over for holidays, we get to eat well, afford a car to travel to places out of reach.
I can think of much worse existances, even if it does get me down at times how boring day to day life is.
But, that's why i want to move to spice things up a bit

What annoys me about the UK is that it has spent squillions on not only trying to stop the country smoking, but it would lose a huge amount of tax if everybody were to. Yet (and this isnt politically correct but nonetheless true), the cost of alcohol consumption on the nations health - physically, mentally and socially is way in access of the cost of smoking related issues!!

You're right there, they haven't got a clue like have they.
The costs of treating alcohol abuse on the NHS and also policing drunk and disorderly people far outweighs almost everything else!!
And it's all things people inflict on themselves time and time again.

Most people doin't even realise they are alcoholics. To me, an addiction is something you pay for even when you haven't enough money left for necessities. You still find the money for your alcohol by whatever means. That IS an addiction.
If people realised that, then they would realise (possibly frighteningly) that they are actually an alcoholic.


My girlfriends brother spends £400+ a month on drinking, (including taxi fairs to get to and from a place where you can drink) then every month complains he has no money.
If i spent £400 a year on drink i'd be shocked and cut back.
