Yes you possibly would find a job but you have to remember that these jobs are very poorly paid as there are many Eastern Europeans who speak good english who are wiling to do these jobs for peanuts.

Easy answer make the dirty jobs that nobody wants to do better paid, and the well paid jobs that people want to do less well paid. SIMPLES!

I have no problems with those who want to work. It is the spongers who are only interested in getting benefits I object to. Happily it isnt so easy for them get benefits in Cyprus as it is in the UK

So you want to say that Brits who dont want to work either, just live on benefits should be treated the same way?

Totally agree with you Veronica, but why is it easier to get into the UK without any visible means of support than it is to get into Cyprus, after all isn't it supposed to be one set of rules for all member states. By the way I think if the UK were to adopt the Cyprus system, the situation in the UK would'nt be half as bad.
