A PROBLEM – BUT PARTLY OF OUR OWN MAKING.

A PROBLEM – BUT PARTLY OF OUR OWN MAKING.   

 

We hear how migrants from the EU are flooding into the UK putting pressure on housing, local authorities, schools, social services, the benefit system and taking British jobs. In reality it would appear that over 60% of the migrants from the EU actually have a job offer before they leave their home. The majority of them are being invited to come here and in some cases provided the transport and accommodation.

 

It would appear that British companies, and foreign ones bases here, are advertising their vacancies and using agencies abroad to recruit their staff. They are using the “Free movement of workers” for their own benefit without considering the overall affect on our country. When the work finishes, the job doesn’t work out, the person is removed from the position or in the case of seasonal work the workforce is laid off, the first question that is asked is “where is the benefits office ? ” and they have now become the British taxpayer’s problem.

I was talking to a female Polish truck driver recently who was recruited and brought to the UK. She reckons that she earns three times as much money here, for doing the same job, as she would in Poland. After having been here for a few years she has now decided to make this her home and has recently bought a house and is try to encourage certain members of her family to make the move.

The Prime Minister David Cameron believes that by controlling access to the benefits system he can stem the flow of EU migrants into the UK and he is spending time, which I am sure could be far better spent, travelling around the EU trying to convince his counterparts of his views, to get the changes that he thinks that he needs, to convince the UK public before the referendum. He has lost sight of the only way that we are going to get control of our problems is by controlling FREE MOVEMENT.
