UK business leaders welcome “new arrivals”!
The massive influx of eastern European immigrant workers to Britain has topped 800,000 in the four years since Poland and seven other former communist states joined the European Union.
In the last 12 months the cost of paying benefits to the newcomers has more than doubled to an estimated £170million a year, with 145,000 immigrants now claiming state handouts.
The Government predicted 13,000 arrivals a year when opting to open Britain’s labour markets to millions of new EU citizens - while most other countries imposed restrictions.
But the scale of immigration has proved to be 15 times greater.
In 2007 another 214,510 eastern Europeans registered to work in Britain, equal to 600 arrivals a day.
Yesterday UK business leaders said employers would continue to welcome the new arrivals because their work ethic is “so much better than domestic workers” who suffer from a “skills shortage and increasing welfare dependency”.
The figures published yesterday do not include self-employed eastern Europeans such as plumbers or builders, or 30,000 from Romania and Bulgaria which joined the EU later, meaning that the real total of new arrivals is likely to be well over a million in four years - equivalent to a city the size of Birmingham.
Eastern European immigrants can claim benefits after working here for 12 months - including child benefit for children who have stayed with relatives back in their home countries.

“skills shortage and increasing welfare dependency”. ??
Hmmm - could that be because the employers prefer to hire cheaper immigrants?
I’m told that I’m racist and xenophobic because I believe that New Labour is deliberately importing these people to artificially change the political landscape of the country to the authoritarian left, but it’s not racist to imply that British people are lazy and that any old bunch of foreigners has a better work ethic.
What a load of old tosh.
It’s funny how New Labour supporters parrot all of this rubbish, when it was their party that herded unemployed people onto sickness benefits. I *KNOW* because when I got back from Germany, I had to sign on in 2002 and within a month I was asked if I wanted to go onto sickness benefits, by a Jobcentre employee. I was very angry because I showed no sign of illness .
When are they going to open the slave markets and gulags?
I recently attended one of those ‘how to invest in property’ seminars. So sad to hear a native Brit praise the rising divorce rates, huge influx of immigrants and rocketing house prices as being to his financial benefit and that as a landlord he will welcome those that can’t get a foot on the ladder with ‘open arms’. As a way to justify this shamefully self-centred attitude he claims he is out for profit for the benefit of his children. I don’t see how anyone’s children will benefit from whats going to be left of this country in a few years time. Great shame on these greedy executives.
The old problem of stats again. 800,000 eastern Europeans. Cost £170 million per year. That works out at a fraction over £200 only per year. Now I may be stupid some of the time, but as some once great American president said, not all of the time. Now if they had said £170 million per week I think this would be below, but nearer the mark. We read that asylum seekers can use our legal services to prolong their stay by as much 10 years. We all know that an asylum seeker is unable to find gainful employment whilst in the system. Add those costs to the 800,000 eastern Europeans plus all the non Europeans and of course their dependents plus housing benefits, some of these being £1000’s of pounds a month. Now if the department that feeds us this twaddle now and again instead gave us the whole figures,well I don’t know what the reaction might be. Perhaps that is the reason they don’t. I would like to hazard a guess that the figure immigration is costing our over taxed pound is nearer 170 Billion a year. I would also hazard a guess that our Darling chancellor couldn’t prove me wrong.
What I can’t work out about the Stravinskis is if they are “so much better than domestic workers”, as is claimed, why they can’t make a go of it in their own countries? Why, if they are “so much better”, as is claimed, are their countries in the economic doldrums? Clearly, any answer lies beyond the grasp of ‘UK business leaders’, who ‘welcome’ these Stravinskis as a means to make a quick buck.
What business leaders call “the jobs which British people will not do” translates to “Jobs which pay wages which you can only afford to live on if you are prepared to live nine to room”.
However, that said, we need to be careful that we are not seduced into treating the Polish and other Europeans as scapegoats, which is what the government and especially the media are setting them up as.
They are quite happy for us to complain about white Europeans, provided we ignore the far greater threat to our communities which comes from non-EU immigration.
When will the British public wake to the fact that the political elites, the state, intelligentsia and media are in cohorts with international corporatism to streamline governmental administrations and legislature (EU and UN) to effect a more efficient utility of labour and resources to sustain business and growth. Growth in their profits and growth in their own personal power. They will never deal with the real issues facing this planet as they are totally wedded to the ancient, old fashioned, 19th Century idea of ‘progress’ for its own sake.
People must not fall to the the brainwashing mantra that these politicians are ‘Modernisers’ who believe in ‘progress’. Their ideology is not only outdated it is dangerous and takes no account of ‘limits to growth’. If man does not take on board these issues and put in place policies to minimise the chaos, Mother Nature will do it for us. We will see more social diversity leading to more social adversity and civil strife. With more world travel we will see the rise of more pandemics. With the rise in population and the development of other countries (China and India etc) we are already seeing a fight for resources in Africa and around the world. Food, fuel, water, etc will become more expensive and eventually too expensive and then rationed and then not available. This will I fear lead to civil strife and wars throughout the world and naturally the world will be forced to downsize as has happened often in Man’s history. Is no one in the world doing the maths and analysis to extrapolate the risks factors of their greedy, naive, growth based policies. Grandmother
I was at a job agency today and the Polish girl who interviewed me spoke very clear, fluent English. The Asian applicant she interviewed before me did not speak much English and had to use a translator. The irony being that the Asian had been born in England whereas the Pole had been here for 1 month.
My Wife’s father died before she was 1 year old from injuries suffered in the 2nd World War, my father lost 5 years of his life fighting in the same war, for what, I now ask myself. This country went to war because Hitler invaded Poland and we fought to get them their country back. Why did we bother? We should have just let them come her in 1939 as that’s all they have done now.
This government will never publish the true cost of these immigrants, partly because they don’t know how many are here but mainly because it would horrify us!
The true figures are much higher, the costs and strain on our health, education, housing, social services and legal services is enormous. These figures do not take into account illegals or those who have become “British” by joining families already here. Take the case of Slough, where a few months after Romania joined the EU, they had over 80 Romanian gipsy children in care! How on earth can this happen? What are the idiots in Westminster thinking of?.
Another instance of some of the hidden costs that we are paying for was revealed when a friend who did some relief work as a Doctor’s receptionist in High Wycombe, noticed a woman kept returning each week for repeat prescriptions of antibiotics and medication. Each week this woman had a scrip for one month’s worth of drugs. When she questioned it she was told by another worker to ignore it as it was being sent to Pakistan for “relatives”. This was not an isolated case; quite a large number of patients were doing similar things. Apparently other receptionists had complained to the Doctors who told them to mind their own business. Needless to say, our fabulous police “service”, when informed, did nothing as the Doctors and patients were of that well known enriching ethnic background!!!

Interesting. Please email any supportable evidence to the website - Ed
I welcome comments such as; “lazy/ chav/fat/scrawny/ugly/drunk/drug-addled/etc white working class scumbags.”
Each new tirade helps more and more Brits realise that there is only one party that cares.
I think the salty looking hombre in the tent above is Rowan Williams just off for a burger, am I right?
I detest the way the media is perpetrating the myth of a “Polish/Eastern European work ethic”.
If any Brit emigrated to a country that had a far superior infrastructure, education system, free health service, more generous benefits system, and where salaries were on average FOUR times as much as exists between the UK and Poland and Eastern Europe, you would find the most work-shy Brit developing a “work ethic”.
If they want to make a comparison, then make sure it is a fair and honest one and not BS propaganda–a strange concept to many journalists I’m sure.
THIS WOULD BE FUNNY IF IT WASN’T SO SERIOUS………
Experts have drawn up a revised map of the world, where the north pole is at the bottom, the south pole is at the top, and every other bloody Pole is in England……… Dave
One cannot believe everything one reads, of course, but not long ago there was a piece in the Telegraph which claimed that more Polish immigrants are now returning to Poland from Britain than are arriving in Britain:- apparently, Poland’s economy and job-prospects are picking up, and their wages are rising. If this is true, then it may be that Polish immigrants are not the threat to our culture and people we fear them to be:- rather, it is the so-called Romanies from the Balkan states (schooled in crime from birth), the Kosovan and Albanian gangsters, the horde of violent bloodsuckers from north-east Africa (Somalis are feared across the region as vicious killers), and the Muslims from the Far East, who continue to pose the greatest threat to our people and way of life. By comparison with these groups, the Poles are a very low-level threat indeed, being easily assimilated, coming as they do from a European Christian culture.
I’ve worked hard all my life and am sick to death of being told that white Brits are lazy scumbags. Anti-white propaganda is commonplace, seemingly totally acceptable and taken for granted everywhere (except here).
If some of our young people are lacking in aspiration and ambition it may be because they are constantly told how worthless they are, or because they know they stand no chance of getting a job in the BBC, the fire service the police etc etc because they are the wrong colour.
During the Battle of Britain, the Polish Squadron had the highest of all squadrons in the number of enemy aircraft destroyed. But sending out horse cavalry against the German tank divisions the previous year wasn’t exactly evidence of good organisation. Poles are courageous and hardworking but a bit backward. My wife works works with them, is appalled by their chauvinistic attitude to their women and often has to “put them right” as she quaintly puts it.
But the descendants of Poles who stayed in Britain after the Second World War are indistinguishable from us, save for their surnames. They are not a threat to us. They are are simply pawns in the New World Order’s game of national sovereignty destruction.
Our real enemies, currently in a satanic alliance with one another and each, for their own ends, dedicated to erasing our country and its indigenous people from the face of the Earth, are the NWO and the Islamic Caliphate.
Unlike the socially rather antiquated Poles, the NWO/Islam alliance will slaughter not just us but millions of others around the the world before, during and after their a final battle against one another to determine which of them achieves world domination.
Before we can return the overburden of immigrants to their own countries, so that we can breathe again, we must first deal with the Lib/Lab/Con/EU gang and their Islamic allies. We must do so decisively, or we all perish at their hands.
I own a construction company and am proud to say that I do not and never will employ anyone who isn’t British. As an individual I have the right to pick and choose who I think will benefit my company and the quality of work we provide. I have friends in the trade who have employed casual labour from Eastern European countries and whilst some of the work is up to scratch a LOT isn’t. They now have to face the consequences of repairing faulty workmanship by someone who has gone back home and is unaccountable for their actions. To try and prosecute these people for shoddy/faulty workmanship is a loosing battle. I am also led to believe that there is a large new shopping development in Bournmouth that has never been opened due to severe faulty work carries out by immigrant builders.
We are being subject to social engineering on a grand scale. And the masses have not yet woken up to the fact!
Who welcomed these? -

So immigrants have a better work ethic. What utter rubbish. There are five words that are missed out when employers say that they cannot get native Brits to do the jobs that immigrants will do and those five words are ” for the money on offer”. We were told this back in the Fifties when it was declared that large numbers of Afro-Caribbeans had to be imported to work in the NHS and the public transport system as native Brits would not do the work.The reality was that they would not do the work “for the money on offer”. Can you imagine how much this country would have saved over the intervening years had the government offered a modest increase in wages in those sectors which would have resulted in native Brits taking the jobs.The crime rates, welfare dependency, social disorder and miscegenation associated with this group of Afro-Caribbeans would never have taken place.
The cost to this country runs into many billions over and above what they “saved” by paying lower wages at the time.
Fast forward fifty years and we see the exact same thing happening, only the racial groups are different.
The indigenous people of this country are beginning to awake but they have to do so at a faster rate or it really will be too late to return this country to its rightful state.
The CBI, employers and Trade Unions are upto their armpits in treason. They feverishly welcome cheap labour or new members to swell their personal coffers to the great expense of native British workers. If you know anyone employing illegals then shop them to the police and immigration service. Stop financing the unions and pay your subs to the BNP or the British Solidarity Union.
Many of our “Countries Experts” think that the indiginous people from our islands will still lap up any propaganda.
Why is it that the visits to the BNP are greater than all other UK political websites?
When will the BNP website eclipse all the political websites, union propaganda websites and all anti BNP propaganda?
How long will the BNP website cope with this massive intrest from the voters?
Just think if this transfers into votes.
The enemy must be VERY CONCERNED”
