Why do you resent foreign workers so much?
Although I've endeavoured above to make this clear, and I certainly do not feel obliged to do so, I'll say it once again.
I do not dislike foreigners, foreign workers, workers from abroad or any other possible permuation of the above. I am aware however of the negative effect of the open border EU immigration policy and what it has resulted in for many people in this country. I dislike intensely the political grouping that introduced a policy with no democratic consent that has made the lives of a great section of the population much more difficult than it was already or needed to be. I also feel obliged to challenge people that repeat without apparent thought the mantra of cheap=good, flexible=/=bend over and accept the new shiny face of Mandelson and co's shafting by global financial "NGOs".
however the shortage of some tradesmen in certain areas meant muppets and cowboys could also make a decent living.
And why was there a shortage if huge amounts of money were to be made? Because the pathways for training haven't changed in 30 years. And since Thatcher's well documented disgust for the (potentially unionised) working class, continued by Major and taken to the nth degree by Blair, our pathways and funding, let alone facilities for training in the trades has and continues to be neglected.
I'd rather see real, not for profit training centres training those who need it in this country rather than the £3,000 mickeymouse courses jobcentre staff are required to refer customers to. And I'd also like to see a repeal on the refuted ideology that all service jobs should be contracted out to profit making companies, hopefully so that those doing the jobs could afford to live a life of a standard recognisable to their parents.
When you stop giving a shit about this you may as well just give up on the UK, or whever you live. It seems lots of people have already done so. If you can find anything Racist/xenophobic in this well that's your problem.
