Stan Tamudo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 They are all over the place, living in sheds etc. Keep your eyes open and you will spot them. It's not something I've noticed here in S6. Is it really that bad in Newbold, Chesterfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthenekred Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Waiting for Halibut's input I'm sure he'll conclude that we're all closet racists and the white man is just as bad. I'm sure he'll conclude that the "closet racists" are racists..if they show themselves to be...in which case you'll champion him eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wasn't there a programme on the TV a couple of months ago about illegal immigrants in (or just to the West of) London living in converted sheds/garages? There was also 'Suburban Slumdogs' If you rounded them all up and sent them back home, who would do the work they used to do (at the wages they were paid for doing it?) How would the 'landlords' who lost their slumdog tenants make up the shortfall in their incomes? If the employers (often supermarkets and other low-paying retailers) were obliged to increase their rates of pay and if they passed those costs on to their customers, how many of those British customers would cheerfully dig more deeply into their pockets to pay for their food and how many would complain about yet another rise in food prices?

That would need a government with the balls to get the unemployed into these jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A valid point, if we didn't have a NMW. But we do, so it's not, so lets just get them on their way rather than have them screwing up things still further by having the grey economy impinge on the legit economy with all that means for reduced tax takes.

At the moment they are being subsidised by family tax-credit, housing benefit etc etc-so we tax payers are already subsidising cheaper food and fat profits for the larger supermarkets. I try to avoid this by buying ethically when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The 'Suburban Slumdogs' article appeared in October. How long does it take to either: 1. Get the local authorities/police/Border Agency/ government to act? or 2. Get rid of the present incompetent income-bents and replace them with people who will act?
