Lots of countries have UK tax agreements with the UK. I don't see anyone moaning about America having the same agreement in place. How many Madonna's need to live in the uk and not pay our tax, to cover every Slovakian in the country?
The people who picked our fruit before, are former immigrants that have now turned into British citizens in line with the new wave of xenophobic ramblings, about Europeans coming over her to take our jobs.
You want to know the truth? I don't think the government is investing enough in infrastructure to create jobs for all workers on this island, but immigrants don't bitch about it on a forum, they get their arses round all the local farms and factories, and the money they get, they earn.
Way too many "British" people are happy to wait until very specific criteria are met, before they get themselves in the workplace. Not enough money, weird hours, childcare, get my nails done on Thursdays.
Want to know why 99% of industrial agency workers are immigrants? Because they're the people that go in to register, that get their paperwork sorted, that phone up on a daily/weekly basis to see whether there is any work in, that pop in to the offices to chat with a consultant for updates.
If only we could be foreigners, we'd get all the perks that Slovakians get. Bollocks. They get off their arses and put the hours in.
