flamingjimmy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Let's not get sidetracked by the terms we use. The difference between asylum seekers and migrant workers is not an abstract subtle one that's hard to understand, don't think you can excuse your ignorance that easily.

mumkin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Let's not get sidetracked by the terms we use. Whatever you want to call them, the fact is that most of the jobs created by the olympics have gone to foreigners rather than british workers, so in reality there's been no significant economic benefit to the UK at all. The only person sidetracking is you. You have no proof that...... "the fact is that most of the jobs created by the olympics have gone to foreigners rather than british workers" and you completely ignore the links I presented which show things in a completely different light than the ones you are championing. Deal with facts, it makes you look less of an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlos90 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm doing a project on how Sheffield is preparing for the Olympics. Does anyone know of any projects or events coming up in Sheffield on the theme of the Olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm doing a project on how Sheffield is preparing for the Olympics. Does anyone know of any projects or events coming up in Sheffield on the theme of the Olympics? We're not. Why should we? They aren't here but in a far-off city some 150 miles away.

HeadingNorth Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 We're not. Why should we? Several groups are basing themselves here in Sheffield. They're going to be mightily unimpressed if the city isn't ready to receive them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyTup Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 What will I need to do to "get ready" for the Olympics? Learn to juggle a torch of fire like Helen Sharman did perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
