    Problem with security guard

    Got a hard time from some Polish immigrant this morning on the security gate on client site. He was rude and his attitude was dreadful and made me feel like a prisoner in my own country. Crime? I had to borrow Miss Rose’s car (doesn’t have client car park sticker) as the engine warning light lit up last night on the way home on my car.

    Surely there must be 1000’s of brits with the skills to do this work and have a far better attitude and speak clear English. I’m not against immigration where there is a skill storage but this is getting beyond a joke.

      I think you've got to the root of the problem there. If only.

        Last sentence conveniently misrepresented.

          I'm sure there is, but would they be willing to work for the near minimum wage that is probably on offer?

              So I’m paying tax for someone to inject drugs, drink super strength lager and watch TV all day whilst we outsource our ‘low-skilled’ work to Eastern Europeans?
