Front page of the Star - chilling (sorry if done already)

What a disgusting news story.

I know - I read the article in full earlier asI was so disgusted by the headline and nearly posted here.

Having read the article, it points out that these immigrants have taken the jobs because they're prepared to work for the minimum wage.

It's such irresponsible journalism.

It should read "Immigrants do jobs Brits think they're too good for". That would be more accurate.

That is indeed the crux of the problem. But as was discussed at some length before, it's the fact that as a society we do tell people that they're "too good" for minimum wage jobs, just about from birth.

And, in all honesty, the fact that our immigration policy is such a damn mess that it makes an easy target.

I'm sure I remember watching a program once where a couple of blokes claiming benefit were asked if they'd do various jobs which immigrants do and they said no way! So completely correct HH.

I work in a nursing home and it's so difficult to get new staff, the pay is just above minimum wage and you get paid more for cleaning at Asda.

The owner of the home employs nurses from India and Poland to work as nursing assistants. He is more than happy to employ local people if they apply but this just isn't happening.

I was talking to someone over the weekend who said that she needed a job, but said there was no way that she would bathe and clean old people.

Unbelievable! Although I did chuckle at the tab at the bottom of the story "more 'news' here"
