I am not particularly keen on the Daily Mail in many respects but I think it is right they highlight issues such as this:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... mania.html

Why are companies holding 'job fairs' and recruitment drives in Bucharest and beyond ? Why not hold them in Bristol, Birmingham, Bermondsey, or heaven forbid, Uxbridge, Hayes, Hillingdon, Ruislip etc ?



"Quote" One advertisement for taxi drivers claims ‘no experience required’ and illegally states that certain vacancies in the South East, are ‘female only’ positions.

It read: ‘It is not like being a taxi driver in Romania. You are supplied with jobs by the company. You will be self-employed and receive cash daily.’

Hundreds of taxi driver jobs are being advertised with applicants required to have just one month’s driving experience. " Unquote"



This particular bit caught my eye because since losing my job earlier this year I was exploring the possibility of doing just this. Using my own vehicle and becoming a legally licensed private hire operator. Through various sources I have identified there is a market out there from overseas tourists visiting the UK, wanting a reliable and safe option to be taken on tours and trips around the country.

Quite rightly this is now a strictly regulated sector. The vehicle is subject to rigorous and regular checks, and as a potential driver so am I. Health and CRB checks are the absolute minimum requirement. The more I researched it the more I found the costs of these tests and checks ( which you have to pay in advance regardless of whether you pass or fail, and they are not refundable ), together with the eventual license fee should you pass were beyond my means.

The quotes in The Daily Mail article seem to suggest that none of the above apply if you are entering this country from Bulgaria and Romania on January 1st 2014, or am I missing something ?

I don't see any mention of health and CRB checks on them, and just 1 months driving experience is all thats required apparently/allegedly. Cash in hand work as well.

I am no ' Little Englander ', and I don't believe a lot of what I see in The Daily Mail, but I have a nagging feeling they are not too far wrong with this article.

Moley :(

Of course, the string pullers and manipulators behind all this stuff won't be affected, as they look on from their Cotswold's stone clad cottages, little Henry and Amanda Double-Barreled surname are in Prep School, their shopping is done at the local organic butchers and artisan bakers, and Hayes is but a word on a Green M4 motorway sign that you whizz past without a glance.

This sort of thing has been endemic in post war Britain, how come places which are meant to be Third World fleapits like India and Nigeria can produce all these amazing ''Doctors'', ''Dentists'' and ''Consultants''? while millions of indigenous youth are consigned to a life of postcode gangs, waccy baccy, playstation, cheap lager and takeaway pizza. The Germans would rather invest in their own people to become Health Professionals or vocational education to produce their own Engineers and Tradespeople.

The UK/Britain is unique in Europe as it's political and societal elites hates and despises it's own populace, one of the major reasons why English nationalism is so feared and marginalized by the media, I can't see the Scots voting Yes but good luck to them if they do.

This depresses pay and conditions for everyone and that's why they do it.

I think that hits the nail on the head.

We shouldn't blame the immigrants, they are only being used as pawns in the destruction of the UK. The real villains are the international bankers and their bought-and-paid-for political elitist puppets - and the puppets need to be named and shamed. Names such as: Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, Clegg, Miliband, and all those Labour ex-ministers who are now lining up to apologise for getting it wrong about immigration, plus the large numbers of backbenchers of all political sides who have never spoken out about the true nature of the UN and the EU. The international bankers hold no allegiance to any particular homeland, but the political elitist puppets openly portray themselves as representatives of the UK electorate, when in truth, they are engaged in treason against the British people.


Multiculturalism and the undermining national homogeneity are United Nations policy.

The Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) is a UN initiative:

Quote:
The Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) is a recent initiative of the United Nations Member States to address the migration and development interconnections in practical and action-oriented ways.

The GFMD says:
http://www.gfmd.org/en/
Quote:
The second GFMD 2013-2014 thematic meeting was structured around three panels. Panel I on Scene setters on labour migration and diaspora was chaired by Ambassador Jan Knutsson, Permanent Representative, Permanent Mission of Sweden to the UN in Geneva, who underlined that the overall objective of the meeting was to identify adequate mechanisms and measures whereby labour migration and circular forms of mobility, diaspora entrepreneurship and investments can lead to more inclusive economic development outcomes for the migrants, employers and communities of both source and destination countries.



From the United Nations:
http://www.un.org/esa/population/meetin ... d2013.html
Quote:
The High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development took place on 3 and 4 October 2013 in New York at United Nations Headquarters. In its resolution 63/225 of 19 December 2008, the General Assembly decided to devote a high-level dialogue to international migration and development during its sixty-eighth session in 2013.
The purpose of the High-level Dialogue is to identify concrete measures to strengthen coherence and cooperation at all levels, with a view to enhancing the benefits of international migration for migrants and countries alike and its important links to development, while reducing its negative implications.
The present website serves all stakeholders of the High-level Dialogue, including Member States, civil society and the general public and provides the latest information and knowledge resources related to the High-level Dialogue.


Peter Sutherland of the GFMD, and the the UN special representative on migration says the EU should UNDEMINE homogeneity in favour of MULTICULTURALISM:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-18519395
Quote:
The EU should "do its best to undermine" the "homogeneity" of its member states, the UN's special representative for migration has said.
Peter Sutherland told peers the future prosperity of many EU states depended on them becoming multicultural.
He also suggested the UK government's immigration policy had no basis in international law.
He was being quizzed by the Lords EU home affairs sub-committee which is investigating global migration.
Mr Sutherland, who is non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International and a former chairman of oil giant BP, heads the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD), which brings together representatives of 160 nations to share policy ideas.
He told the House of Lords committee migration was a "crucial dynamic for economic growth" in some EU nations "however difficult it may be to explain this to the citizens of those states".
'More open'
An ageing or declining native population in countries like Germany or southern EU states was the "key argument and, I hesitate to the use word because people have attacked it, for the development of multicultural states", he added.
"It's impossible to consider that the degree of homogeneity which is implied by the other argument can survive because states have to become more open states, in terms of the people who inhabit them. Just as the United Kingdom has demonstrated."
The UN special representative on migration was also quizzed about what the EU should do about evidence from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) that employment rates among migrants were higher in the US and Australia than EU countries.
He told the committee: "The United States, or Australia and New Zealand, are migrant societies and therefore they accommodate more readily those from other backgrounds than we do ourselves, who still nurse a sense of our homogeneity and difference from others.
"And that's precisely what the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine."
Mr Sutherland recently argued, in a lecture to the London School of Economics, of which he is chairman, that there was a "shift from states selecting migrants to migrants selecting states" and the EU's ability to compete at a "global level" was at risk.
'No justification'
In evidence to the Lords committee, he urged EU member states to work together more closely on migration policy and advocated a global approach to the issue - criticising the UK government's attempt to cut net migration from its current level to "tens of thousands" a year through visa restrictions.
British higher education chiefs want non-EU overseas students to be exempted from migration statistics and say visa restrictions brought in to help the government meet its target will damage Britain's economic competitiveness.
But immigration minister Damian Green has said exempting foreign students would amount to "fiddling" the figures and the current method of counting was approved by the UN.
Committee chairman Lord Hannay, a crossbench peer and a former British ambassador to the UN, said Mr Green's claim of UN backing for including students in migration figures "frankly doesn't hold water - this is not a piece of international law".
Mr Sutherland, a former Attorney General of Ireland, agreed, saying: "Absolutely not. it provides absolutely no justification at all for the position they are talking about."

They all hailed from Acton / Chiswick / Shepherd's Bush


Nothing creative or interesting could ever be spawned from the aforementioned numptyville.
