I think they was lying about canteen food not tasting crap
Anyway Gaz, you need to remember that those guys pay taxes, rent houses, pay for food, bills, fuel etc. Because they come here to save some money, they do not claim benefits, they do not take sick pay and probably just 0.1% of them will be here to claim from national pension fund when they will retire (and they still pay NI etc.) They are not putting strain on education or healthcare system, those are the guys this economy NEEDS. You need to focus on those who SPONGE money out of state without giving anything back.
Besides there is a lot of work offered around, some people need to change their mentality - if there is a financial crisis here, I do ANY work I can, not sneer just because job is hard and for national minium - tough shit, when times will be better there is always a chance to move on, now it's about surviving.
