OK mate, youve gone full GCRF on me now.

The global south argument has berm around years, you're telling me nowt new fella.

I never claimed that it was new but merely that it underlines why people think Poles are only good to be (low cost) builders and truck drivers rather than doctors and architects.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Get on the plane you turkey pluckers. Don't you have Christmas in Warsaw?

Poles have fish for Christmas so no plucking required.

TBF I am not sure labour costs are responsible for cheap stuff - a mix of technological advances and a switch to a disposable culture are more responsible.

Also this notion of competitiveness in terms of wages only ever seems to apply to the working classes - you’d think given the serial failures of management (especially British management, who bear the lion’s share of the blame for the state of British manufacturing) over the past fifty years that they’d have paid a price but all evidence in terms of executive pay tells another story.

The deflationary pressures of offshoring the manufacturing complex to places like China have had a huge impact for over 2 decades. Technological advances have for sure but the labour component of globalisation etc is more than material.

I never said that mate, so not sure why you're chucking it out at me.

Perhaps find a different straw man to construct whatever argument it is you want to make?

Oh, it's not aimed specifically at you, more the narrative towards A8 migrants over the past 5 years (and more)

Well, yeah, I get that- my other half is from out that way and elicits interesting reactions when a) she reveals she's Romanian and b) isn't a fruit picker.

Hang on a minute, if they can afford big 'kin Audis we're paying them far too much.

No pigs at Christmas mate. No carbon dioxide available to stun them before slaughter.

Nice nut roast this year
