Everyone is quick to bash foreigners, usually the more bitter people are those without jobs.
Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather see a british person in any job (apart from down my local takeaway) but there was a section on the news tonight that mentioned that foreign workers actually - in the grand scheme of things - pump more money into the system than the dole-scrounging nationals.
This is because whilst employed they still have to pay their taxes, they pay VAT on the stuff they buy - with the money they have earned. Even if they sent the majority of their wage home to their relatives in another country they would still be of bigger benefit to us than the benefit spongers.
As sad as it is, that is the reality. Just imagine if those same jobs were taken by people who kept spending their money inside the UK, if only they were prepared to do the jobs!
