This foreign workers thing gives a false impression.

 

The workers we see coming to the UK are, by the very nature of things, the ones with a bit of get up and go.

 

There are plenty that don't come to the UK, that would give any of our scrounging layabouts a run for their money (figuratively speaking)

Those that can, and want to, will! They are the "doers!"

I have seen a gradual change in that, when the first foreign labourers came over they were the pioneers they recognised what their hard work bought them and worked accordingly.

Now some have bought over their mates and this second generation are not as good, and some of the agencies pull in the lazy ones off the street and punt them over here to make a percentage.

 

Of course this is a sweeping statement and not true for all.

 

The idea that foreign labourers are cheap is not true either, we recently approached and agency the cost for 2 skilled labourers for tree planting was £250 a day and we are to provide accommodation and transport.

 

We have foreign employees and they are paid no different from our U.K. Staff.

 

Personally I do not care where your from as long as the works done how we want it, on time and within budget.
