British Jobs for Foreign Workers
Remember Gordon Brown's much vaunted cry of British Jobs for British Workers on the Olympic site in East London.
Figures released today show that 6,277 people work there. Guess how many are British.
A few years ago, I remembered someone being interviewed about this and he denied jobs were going to foreigners because "80% of the workforce lived locally".
Er, well unless they commute from Poland every day, I suppose they would!
Sue, Cameron wouldn't have been so stupid to use a BNP phrase in the first place.
It was a promise Brown could never have met, partly, as you rightly point out, due to the fact that we have to allow EU workers in without restriction.
Another Brown lie. The list is getting longer.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable...but not surprising! Hat-tipped you HERE
ReplyDeleteAnd the question to answer is after 13 years of Labour - why ?
ReplyDeletePerhaps he'll claim he never said it at all.
ReplyDeleteHe does have form.
Hope Dave brings it up.
...and the Conservatives would do what?
ReplyDeleteNothing, because they can't, because the EU is in charge.
But how many are from outside of the European Union?

I was actually hoping for an answer Iain. I feel very let down by the Conservatives and need a bit of convincing to go back to them.
ReplyDeleteThe NHS is the same... See link below

so thats ok then.Let the British workers rot so long as we obey EU rules and dont use BNP phraseology. How comforting!
ReplyDeleteI wondered why building work was still on schedule.
