Saw this on BBC IPlayer, by Margaret and Nick from The Apprentice.

 

Very interesting, it may change your mind.

 

There's a second part to come.

Definitely a drain IMO.

[Se7enhills 10]

Depends

Some are useful, some arn't

On the whole, I'd say Thanks, but No Thanks though

it doesnt address the majority only the minority who actually do contribute.

I think the English guy who was only looking for warehouse jobs rather then be more flexible, may be typical of many youngsters today. He got a job straight away in the coffee bar when he diversified like the immigrants.

The majority are here to get what they can for nowt,the minority do contribute that's why the UK need to be more selective.

Well that's the price you pay for having an empire and being part of the EU.

It's call pay back time!

Why was that then?

[Se7enhills 10]

I dont see too much of the old Empire doing any better now do you?

 

When the British left Ghana it had a GDP the same as South Korea - Im sure is a lot higher now isnt it?

Where did I say it wasn't?

 

The English guy who didn't agree that immigrant children should speak their own language at home was ignorant. Everyone knows kids pick languages up very quickly at school. The boy was even being taught Spanish at school, and he was under 8. That surprised the English guy.

The kid was even more articulate then the English guy!
