    After working in a couple of warehouse jobs over the past few months I can totally agree with you. The foreign workers that come over tend to live 3 or 4 to a house to keep bills down so they can afford to work for minimum wage and still have enough to live.

    I'm not saying this is wrong but the employers in this country prefer employing them as they are happy on a lower wage where more British people tend to live off one or two wages and just can't survive on the money being offered.

    It's a real shame were going backwards like this but I do believe the large influx of foreign workers has a lot to do with the decline in pay.

    Not everybody can be in a well paid job earning enough to be comfortable and as we are we will never get out of recession because nobody has got anything spare to spend or save for a mortgage.

    I don't know how to solve the problem but as a country we need to do something before its to late.....

    Are you talking about illegal immigrants?

    In which case you're making my point for me.

    Why?

    Legal or illegal someone employs them and these employers tend to back the blues.

    Right wing conservatives tend to whinge the most about immigrants yet gain the most through them.

    Because paying them below minimum wage means you don't have to pay someone else above it.

    And how do right-wing Conservatives benefit exactly?

    Party slogan "Tell the bu66ersto sod off back where the came from....but make us a few bob while they're here"

    A bloke walks in to a factory and says "I can do the same job as himfor a pound a hour less.. Owner takes said bloke in and says to rest of workforce "Everbody takes a pound a hour cut or we bring new staff in"


    Its happening everywhere.

    I don't know why Conservatives get all the blame though, big companies donate to Labour as well, the Labour leadership are millionaires (Margaret Hodge's brother runs the 7th biggest company in the UK) and only represent middle-class Guardian readers from North London, not working-class people.

    You're on the BBS, its either Jim McNulty, Don Rowing or The Tories to blame, for everything.

    It's Barnsley's most successful manager, the town not the team that is.

    She's got shares in his company, who are tax avoiders by the way, Ed Milliband is a millionaire, Harriet Harman and Ed Balls went to private schools, they're hardly working-class heroes, I mean, Ed Balls flew home from Bilderberg meetings on Conrad Black's private jet, he's just like us :D

    Spoil your ballot. A 90% turn out of spoilt ballots would make the point.

    Should have heard his interview this morning on Radio 5, he was all over the place, bumbling, back tracking....seemingly accused Tesco and Next but then when confronted with the company statements then said he didn't mean them! He talked of "unscrupulos employers" but when asked to name one he couldn't. He them completely went off topic and started talking about companies paying lower than minimum wage of which none of the companies he had mentioned are accused of that.
    Typical playing to the gallery - it's disgraceful if Labour are going to start taking the same line as the Tories on this, trying to gain the anti-immigration vote. There really will be nobody to vote for next time at this rate.
