A caller and George Galloway have a lively debate on capitalism and immigrants coming to the UK taking the jobs which 'indigenous' people will not take. Does the capitalist system work?
@carpe The former eastern block countries were not socialist nor communist they were totalitarian countries. The workers had little say in government policy and decision making. As a result the whole system stagnated. The western media often referred to them as socialists or communist countries in order to frighten the working classes not to challenge capitalism.The whole world is now going through capitalism and millions of working class people are suffering. capitalism will eventually fall
People from EE emigrate because the countries are going through transitional periods, which takes 20-30 years! This is one generation's time, of course you'd like to emigrate to a country with better conditions even though your country is now technically capitalist. And, mind you, transitional periods often means lots of corruption
George, you are beaten here, Mr Socialite

@DrMontague your last statement may be right, but you cant really assert your "in order to" hypothesis
