Quote: reffy "Salfordlad, I am not a propaganda merchant for anyone, the thoughts are my own. I have seen the ghettos that the Eastern Europeans are making in parts of Leigh. But as you say every one of them is gainfully employed, they must work some funny hours, perhaps you could give some some examples of where they are working?
I agree they are all bettering themselves by being over here, but should they be this country's burden? If our European masters insist they be allowed to live in this country they should pay for them.
The Leythers now domiciled abroad have probably worked for donkeys year and saved to enable them to move.
I am surprised that you insist that incomers of various nationalities all came for work and none for benefits.'"
Now if you read my earlier response you have made two assumptions about things I have not written.
I suggest you e mail a couple of our posters who now live in Canada for example and please tell me how much a week unemployment benefit is.
Leigh's problem at the moment is that there are little or no manafacturing jobs to be had and no pits.
I cannot understand why that would change anything if we sent all immigrants living in Leigh back to their own countries.
Re where do immigrants work. I have no idea but I would suggest you ask one when you see one maybe they will tell you.
There was a Polish steward at Fev today btw he would probably preffered to be outside on Glebe St in Leigh drinking vodka which was paid for us taxpayers.
