Unemployment. Awful in Britain, catastrophic in Spain

[Fizmoo]

It's pathetic to compare the UK to countries like Spain or Greece. What's next? Comparing UK with Iraq or AFghanistan and say how well your off compared to them? Why not compare with Germany/France/Benelux/Scandin­avia. I wonder if you will still have your rose tinted glasses on.

Who cares what is going on in other countries,when our country is being ethnically cleansed through the back door.In 50 years time our white culture will be just a memory !!

The UK is the worst dumpster in Europe at the moment. People in spain and greece may not have money, but at least they have the sun and lifestyle.

[jadnsofia]

the Uk is broke , yes the have control of their monetary policy, still they're like everyone in europe, banks are broke too, soon it will all melt down. Sorry

[northernvoxmedia]

I don't give a fuck about Spain's. Stop saying "we're not as bad at those guys", and start fixing our own fucking economy!

[briantheslug]

why work, there's free money for all the baby breeder's out there.

[jaysteinbourg]

Why?

Spain and Britian should just invade France, only use rubber bullets so that it takes longer. Everyone knows a wartime economy is historically the best for economic growth, and thus jobs.

You must be the most stupid fuck on earth or a muslim.

[thedealer01]

I'm neither and you must have not attended the schools of sarcasm and irony.

[RoelofKenth]

Both are ... for words.

Poland is invaded by Ukrainians from the east and Romanians from south...

I think this is a problem to all EU countries.

here in Greece we have up to 1 mil foreigner workers (near 10% of the population) and most of them are from NON EU countries.

makes me wonder why.

[RoelofKenth]

Just forbid the kerchief those muslima's wear. Make it very uncomfortable for them.

Our unemploymentrate is 5% here in Holland. And we also got a lot of problems with immigration from non-western countries. We should close our borders for non-western countries. The diffrences within the EU are big enough. Turkey should stay the fuck out.

The average rate of working age British Muslims who are not in employment is 65%. It's over 80% for the females.

Well.. their culture has not invented anything... let's say in more than a 1000 years.

Look around you..telephone.. ages ago. Our culture invented it.. toilet..pc.. radio.. microscope.. Ipod.. your heat. Normal roads.. trains... cars.. airplains... even the back of the horse.

What culture do they bring? Nothing.

We don't go there.

@bettertobealive Interesting, I wonder what proportion of them claim benefits and use our NHS

[chiggy79]

In my opinion there is no justification in regards to the unemployment figures in this country. Poor financial management is the root cause of this recession. As a man on the street in the UK I am not interested in the economies of Spain or Greece.....unless of course they all decide to move to the UK to take jobs away from British people who have paid taxes all their lives. The real crisis is why are we still letting foreign workers into this country during a job crisis?

[gh77]

don't worry, spaniards will not take your jobs away, we are not mexicans... we are also full of southamerican/subsaharian/east­erneuropean immigrants, and immigrants keep invading us... despite our unemployment

@chiggy79 it's a free job market where the best gets the job, in the UK most doctors, biologists and IT specialists in the most difficult jobs are Indian, it's impossible to replace those overnight, moreover

it did cost many millions to educate these people in their home countries and Britain gets them free of that cost. In the low pay job sectors it is UK companies that prefer low wage workers to local people, such as the flight meal preparation workers at Heathrow.

[VERGIS92]

If Britain shuts the doors to foreign workers, that instantly means foreign students too, but most universities in the UK will go out of business without the unfairly high fees those foreign students pay.

It is Britain that needs foreigners, not the other way around, except of course some lazy immigrants that come to abuse the welfare benefits system.
