  1. The U.K will have to train its workforce to do the jobs , can no longer just take Europe's workers anymore
  2. There are special working visas for people working in "berry picking" and other seasonal work . https://www.gov.uk/seasonal-worker-visa
  3. I often used to see tourists sitting down for the N.A unaware what was going on, and I would often tell them and they were usually thankful for being informed
  4. Yes, but I didn't say that the majority of UK workers work in the construction industry , I did say that the construction industry is the biggest employee in the UK , compared to the various other industries
  5. Mate, honestly , its not a point worth arguing about . My point was that as the UK construction industry employs two million people , its not surprising that some UK construction workers post on these forums . Whether the construction industry is the biggest employee in the UK or not is actually irrelevant to my point ????
  6. Couldn't you find a room where the landlord accepts housing benefit ? Like, a spare room in a house with housing benefit ?
  7. Russians didn't do too well in Afghanistan either
  8. Russians didn't do too well in Afghanistan either
  9. Went there many a time at 6 PM and sat in the food courts having a feed and at 6 PM all the Thais stood up and remained still for the National anthem , as did many of the Foreigners , there were a few times when some "rebellious" foreigners remained seated and just continued eating and ignored the National Anthem all all those around him/her. 500 people all standing and remaining still for one minute , and they just continued eating sitting down *Not my Country , not my whatever " . I did go over and speak to them a few times , telling to them either stand up or go back home
  10. No one is opposed to people coming to work in the U.K , but with the amount of people coming from Europe (six-ten million) to work, I just think there should be some restrictions in place , like needing a visa and things , rather than ten million people all freely steaming into the UK
  11. Russians aren't doing too well in Ukraine are they and it was mainly the cold weather that helped Russia beat the Germans
  12. When reports like mine emit from Thailand and Asia , the usual comments are usually along the lines of how corrupt and dishonest Thais/Thailand is . I just thought that I'd point out that similar things also happen back home
  13. Just for clarification , was your Father "bought" to the U.K to work in coalmine's, or did he freely travel to the UK to find work ?
  14. It would depend on what contract he has and what it says . I doubt that he signed a tenancy agreement and thus wouldn't need to be evicted by a Court . He probably has a contract that is similar to a hotel room contract
  15. International Energy companies supply gas and electric and they set their prices on the current World prices and much of the gas comes from Russia , its not like the UK Government supplies the gas and electric , its private companies that do that
  16. That is just the building contractors , if you add everyone else involved in the building industry , the building industry comes out top By the end of 2020, the construction industry employed approximately 2.08 million people, a decrease compared to the 2.43 million employees in the first quarter of 2019. A large share of employees in the U.K. construction industry are men, according to the same source. https://www.statista.com/statistics/432509/number-employees-construction-industry-united-kingdom/#:~:text=By the end of 2020,according to the same source.
  17. Although the cost of living crisis is because of Covid and Ukraine and nothing to do with Brexit . (BTW, if anyone wants a discussion on Brexit, there is currently another thread where it is being discussed and it would be better to keep the discussion in that thread)
  18. He is some racist old White supremacist guy who doesn't live in the U.K and often makes attention seeking extreme posts and didn't even vote
  19. Just to point out the the construction industry is the largest industry in the U.K and employs some two million people , so its not surprising that a few construction industry workers post on these forums . The annoyance was that they worked cheaper (whether they were better is debatable , cheaper is better for some people) , cut costs by five people living an a one bedroom flat , worked six days a week including holidays and had a fish and a loaf of bread for lunch and with that cheap lifestyle , they were able to undercut a British worker who had a mortgage , family etc .
  20. Its not a lie , its the truth
  21. Biden then condemns Trump to his man cave the Mar-a-lago after his public crucifixion outside a Church where he was seen holding a Bible and asking the Lord for guidance during troubled time when his followers tried in vail to keep him at the throne . Trump was condemned to the Mar-a-lago man cave Four years later, Trump was resurrected Amen
  22. And there are some guys that bought when the price was $60,000 and they are now thinking . Could've had , shouldnt' ve had
