Fuck it, I'm going to say it!

Via the ever-amusing Mark Wadsworth comes this marvelous research:

1. Migrant workers are more likely to be working as temps or in insecure work (for example not having a written contract) than any other workers.

2. Recent migrant workers are more than twice as likely as other workers to be earning less than the appropriate NMW for their age.


Wow. I'm stunned. Leaving aside the fatuity that is the minimum wage (which actually makes it more difficult for someone at the bottom end of the payscale to better themselves) -- who'd have thunk it, huh?

But then he goes on:

Anyway, I'm not allowed to say "They can always go home, can't they?" without risking arrest or losing my job. So I won't.


Well, fuck that. If people don't like Britain, they can always just fuck off. They should have known what they were getting into when they got here, and if they only discovered things that they didn't like when they got here, they can either fuck off back to where they came from or they can try some other shithole (despite the fact that any other shithole is likely to be just different, rather than better.)

I'm sick of being told that I can't say this or think that. You chose to come live here. Fit in or fuck off.

I never had any popularity to begin with.

Seriously, this cuntry is pissing me off greatly and I am planning to leave. But I know that wherever I wind up, it's just going to be other things pissing me off. So it'll be up to me to fit in there, or fuck off again.

Wow,

You really told them didn't you Obnoxio, with the brown paper bag of anonymity pulled tightly over your head you can say what you think without fear of any comeback or consequence.

Coward.

Come on now, don't sulk.

Just check to see if you still have any balls left, and if you have, show us that you actually believe what you are spouting about.

You are never going to change the world with your poison pen letters(blog), but a person of some influence with a genuine opinion - now that would be someone to stand up alongside.
