    Nick Ferrari having a go at the TUC

    Immigration To Blame For Extreme Debt, Blasts Nick | LBC

    A report from the TUC claims that more than 1.5million families are in extreme debt in Britain, paying nearly half of their household income in repayments

    Kam Gill, the Economics Spokesperson at the TUC, told LBC: "In 2007, rather than a growth in unemployment, what we saw was workers willing to take a cut in their wages or reduced hours.

    "Since that point, while employment has stayed strong, wages have not grown at anything like the rate that employment has."

    But when he admitted that the report didn't look at if the influx of people moving to Britain from overseas, Nick blasted: "You put out this report: 'Britain In The Red' along with Unison and say we're all doomed, hardly anyone's got enough money to pay the gas bill and children won't have any shoes on their feet.

    "Then you just blithely ignore what many people see as one of the driving factors. Aren't you letting your members down?"

    "Is it because it's an inconvenient truth?"

    Bliar said multiculturalism and immense immigration would enrich all our lives. Then all the idiots voted for it.

    Now they are paying with long hours and low pay to compete.

      Another brain-fart from vetran.

      Japan has next to no immigration at all but has the same effect.

      It's a phenomenon throughout the industrialised world, due to increased automation and competition from cheap labour in Asia
      Only the cognitive elite get paid well now. That will not change ever.

      You could expel all immigrants tomorrow and wages would not rise in the long run.

      HTH, BIKIW.

          I'm more than happy with my daily rate, thanks.
          And the shortage of skills is such, it seems to be going up on a daily basis, so much so that the ultra long contracts that are the norm in this industry are not worth taking

              Look, I'm not talking about the house keeping money the Mrs pays you to do the chores, I'm talking about real mans work.

                Wouldn't mind being a kept man actually. But school fees are the killer, so no chance of that unless a scholarship is in the bag in a few years.
