Unemployment. Awful in Britain, catastrophic in Spain

Godfrey points out that allthough today's unemployment figures are bad for the UK, they are far worse in the Eurozone, particularly in Spain. Being outside the Euro Britain can act in its own interest, Spain is stuck in the 'prison of nations'.

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?

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.

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.

@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.

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.
