Two nations: those who work, those who won't
Blaming immigrants for our unemployment levels misses the point: the problem is
people who are bone idle
Alice Thomson
Michael's alarm still goes at 5am every morning, by 7am he has cleaned his Notting Hill house, at 8am the children have a three-course breakfast and by 9 he has walked them to school and is sitting at his desk sending out his CV. Six weeks after he lost his job at Goldman Sachs, he still works a 14-hour day. He now waits tables at his favourite restaurant, sweeps the leaves from the communal garden tennis court and helps the neighbours' Filipina housekeeper to clear the drains.
( 'Michael' also known as Superman also wears his pants on the outside of his trousers and can leap tall buildings in one bound. If you believe this rubbish then I have a bank account in Nigeria with 7 million dollars that you can have if you send me a postal order made out to C.ash. Its just so nice to see him helping out her Filipina maid. How middle class is that. I wonder if Alice has a Filipina maid as well. Come alice whatcha say. )
Paul Bright, a factory manager for a paper doily factory in Essex who has also been made redundant, has the same drive. At 60, he could retire. “All I want to do is work again,” he says. “I am like a smoker who doesn't know what to do with his hands once he's quit. I need to feel useful.”
The Chawners wouldn't understand. Mr and Mrs Chawner and their two daughters insist that they are “too fat to work” because they have a combined weight of 83 stone - so they watch television all day living off their £22,000 benefits. In the past 11 years, only the youngest daughter, Emma, has attended a job interview and that was on The X Factor, where she was kicked out in the first round. Mr Chawner explains: “Often I'm so tired from watching TV I have to have a nap. I certainly couldn't work. I deserve more.”
( Here we see Thomson smear an entire nation by using just 1 , yes one, example of a family group of idiots. The fact is that it is this government that classified Obesity as a disease and therefore forced doctors to sign off obese people as unfit to work. At the same time the government have signed off as unfit to work a myriad other 'victim groups' - Heroin addicts, Crack addicts, AIDS infected prostitutes, diseased immigrants who have entered the UK with TB and AIDS and a myriad other self inflicted idiots and spongers. This is a problem of government, not unemployment. Pity Thomson is too dim to see that )
These are Britain's two nations. Not those born abroad and those born here, not black or white, rich or poor, men or women, North or South, public or private sector. But those who belong to the world of work and those who are alienated from it, living off the taxes from other people's earnings.
( More drivel. The unemployment rate in the white community is the lowest of all communities. The biggest recipients of welfare in British history have been WORKING BANKERS not unemployed workers. The money spent on the banks dwarfs decades of unemployment benefit. the rest of her drivel about black / white. private / state workers etc is crass and asinine irrelevant rubbish )
In the past ten years a chasm has opened up between the workaholics and the quaintly named “work-shy”. Labour still isn't working, claims a revised version of the classic Tory poster, as unemployment passes two million.
In fact, nearly eight million people of working age in Britain have been “economically inactive” for the past few years. More than 2.5 million of them are on incapacity benefit - of these 2,130 people are too “fat” to work; 1,100 can't work because they have trouble getting to sleep; 4,000 get headaches; 380 are confined to the sofa by haemorrhoids; 3,000 are kept at home by gout; and half a million are too depressed to get a job. According to Dame Carol Black, the National Director of Health and Work, one child in five now comes from a family where neither parent works, yet at the end of last year there were half a million job vacancies.
( So the best that Thomson can do is find about 10,000 people out of 2.5 million whose situation she mocks and then she uses that 10,000 to smear over 2.4 million people. What a fucking bitch. As for the job vacancies - perhaps if the minimum wage were such that people could take a job and be able to buy a house, raise a family and pay their bills on a minium wage income then that would be a major incentive for taking a low paid job. As it is Thomson says half a million jobs exist - are they low paid, low hours, or low paid and long hours - she doesnt care of course, she just needs to print propaganda rather than explain the reality )
The BNP's message over the past decade has been loud and clear - your job is being stolen by the Somali next door. But it's just not true. The Somali and the Romanian, Chinese and Ukrainian are doing jobs that many British won't now contemplate. The majority of migrants to Britain - more than 80 per cent - are earning less than £25,000 a year in industries that have become unpopular for British people to work in.
( The BNP message has been about blaming somalians. What rubbish. I wonder if Thomson has read our website for the past ten years and found out the facts. Of course not, why let truth get in the way of lies. The BNP have merely pointed out that 'More Foreign Workers in the country = less jobs and lower wages for British workers'. We blame the bankers, economists, politicians and media not the immigrants. The reality of the BNP policy can be seen all across the country, except in the Torygraph where simpering tarts like Thomson do not need to worry about Slovenian or Somalian immigrants taking their jobs. As for the money that immigrants make - how much of that money is taxed and how many pay national insurance. 25 grand a year tax free a year is a nice lump sum if you can get it )
That is why immigration in Britain rose by 2.5 million in the past decade and why English is now a second language for one in seven pupils in primary school. Immigrants have kept Britain working. It is also why the Tories couldn't turn immigration into a vote-winner in the past two elections. People recognised that we needed the Chinese to pick our strawberries, the Czechs to blow our children's noses, the Pakistanis to sweep our hospitals, the Afghans to drive our minicabs, the Australians to pull our pints and the Poles to put up the scaffolding.
( Fuck me its like reading a Labour party election broadcast. Here we see the Capitalist scum supporting the Socialist scum, just in a more retarded way. Whilst New Labour have realised that the usual blah blah blah and blather about ' immigrants are good for the economy' doesnt work anymore, here a retarded tory is picking up the gauntlet. Somebody please tell the poor dear to read the Migration Watch website. She might learn something. Silly girl. )
Only last year £13 million of British fruit and vegetables went unpicked because farmers couldn't find enough British labour to harvest their crops, forcing the Government to raise the quota for migrants under the seasonal agricultural workers' scheme. As one man outside a Jobcentre Plus in Peterborough explained: “I'd prefer to sign on than do that. I don't want to work in no cornfield for £25,000 a year.”
( Here we go again - an an unattributed quote where the alleged comments of one man are used to slander a whole nation. Stupid bitch. Is there nothing this vile woman wont stoop at. I live in a village and all the agricultural workers are foreigners - and I suspect that many British large farming corporations would rather let fruit rot in the orchards and fields than pay decent wages to British workers. They would rather import in cheap, docile, underpaid foreigners who can live in shit caravans in sub human conditions than pay decent wages to attract British workers who would demand to live in decent accomodation on farm sites. )
Now, however, everything has changed. The new unemployed aren't those who don't want to work, they are the committed, driven employees who are horrified at the thought of no longer being able to commute into the office. They are the 3,000 people who are prepared to queue for 150 part-time jobs at Twycross Zoo in the Midlands and who bitterly resent having to sign on.
( But, but yesterday Alex Simpleton in the Torygaph said that there was no mass unemployment and that there are plenty of jobs in the country etc etc - fuck me alice do try and follow a clear party line on this. I wonder where all the unemployed bankers, middle class managers, proffessionals and other experts that alice eulogises in this article as the 'supermen and women' of Britain who are doing fifty jobs a day got their jobs from. These jobs that people like 'Michael' are doing seem to have appeared all of a sudden out of thin air. This is because whilst Alice is saying that the supermen and women are all now working fifty jobs a day none of these jobs they are taking appear to be making any difference to the overall amount of job vacancies on offer or affecting a reduction in the numbers of the rising and registerd unemployed. You see alice hasnt noticed the logical inconsistency in her article which is this - On one hand she says the LONG TERM unemployed dont want to take the half a million jobs on offer, but she doesnt explain why not, and then at the same time she says the newly unemployed proffessionals are working like superman and taking fifty jobs a day to get by. But they arent are they alice. If they were working at fifty jobs a day to get by then there would be no unemployed proffesionals and no job vacancies. If they were taking these jobs that the long term unemployed 'dont want' then the unemployment numbers would be falling and job vacancies numbers would also be falling - neither of which have happened. Instead we have rising numbers of newly unemployed proffessionals and stable numbers of the long term unemployed. It appears that both the newly unemployed proffessionals and the long term unemployed are not taking the exact same jobs on offer. The reason why they are both not taking those jobs on offer is for the exact same reason which is THEY CANT LIVE ON THE SHIT WAGES THAT THOSE SHIT JOBS PAY. So in fact alice has been talking a total load of bollocks. Idiot. )
These are the unemployed who keep Gordon Brown awake at night. The millions of British citizens who are already economically inactive will be eternally grateful to the former Chancellor for having provided them with such generous pocket money, but those now joining the unemployment statistics won't be bought off so easily.
( So when we pay into our national insurance and pay taxes we are not getting back what we paid in - but simply getting pocket money. What a fucking idiot this woman is. Alice seems to think becoming unemployed is not an essential part of the modern world and that unemployment is what happens in a modern globalised economy where businesses rise to meet demand and then die when demand drops, but rather she sees unemployment as a 'lifestyle choice' a symptom of individual feckless behavior. For Alice the actual operations of the British economy are irrelevant to individual employment - I am now convinced this woman is retarded. Perhaps she needs to be sacked and to live on benefits for w while. When we take power we will make sure she is so she can experience the real world. )
They are the newly unemployed dry cleaners in Didcot and Devon, the estate agents in Christchurch and Cornwall, the factory-floor managers in Swindon and Staffordshire and building contractors in Brighton and Bedfordshire - people who won't vote Labour again if they can no longer pay their mortgages and don't appreciate being forced to watch flat-screen TVs all day.
( Here we see where she is going - its an appeal to vote Tory instead of BNP. But poor old Alice doesnt realise that she is offering more of the same Labour poison in a new Tory Bottle. Its the same old policies if the tories get in as we have had from the Labour Party - except the Tories will cut puble services, cut welfare payments and offer no help to the 'feckless unemployed' in the most damaging economic crash in history. Regardless of the Second Great Depression, it is individuals who are unemployed who are the problem, not unemployment itself. what a Twat)
The Government's response has been to blame the immigrants who helped Britain for so long. Only this week Phil Woolas, the Immigration Minister, brought up Sangatte again. Yesterday, as the unemployment figures were released, Hazel Blears, the Secretary of State for Communities, suddenly announced a new migrant tax of £50 on overseas workers coming from outside the EU to pay for their public services.
(Good. Though it should be a £1000 pounds a year from each to pay for NHS services. If they dont pay up then piss off out the country. Oh those poor immigrants. Makes you wonder how this nation survived for so long without them eh. )
But the answer doesn't lie in supertaxing the migrants, cordoning off the white cliffs of Dover or forcing Ethiopians on to planes at gunpoint. Like drugs, immigrants will find a way into this country if the demand exists. They may be putting a strain on the NHS but many services wouldn't exist without them. In 2008, 14.7 per cent of health and social care workers were migrants.
( HAHHA AHA AHA AHA AHA AH HA HA - Here she gives us one of the greatest reasons to kick out economic migrants. If they are employed as social workers then sack them all now. The entire Servile State has to be demolished. That includes immigrant social workers. )
Attacking immigrants and talking about British jobs for British workers won't help anyone but the BNP. What is required now is the courage to push ahead with welfare reform despite the recession, and close the only gap that matters - between the active and the idle. Michael and Paul will find a job in the end, it's part of their DNA. Tackling the Chawners is the real challenge.
( Here we go again - she uses the Chawners as a way to smear millions. Its like saying ' one black rapist means all blacks are rapists'. If I said that I would be a racist, but when she says the same about the Chawners ( poor, white, stupid and one family amongst tems of millions) then thats okay isnt it. What is required isnt welfare reform, but a BRITISH NATIONAL WELFARE SYSTEM that serves the British people who have PAID INTO IT and that does not serve immigrants THAT HAVE NOT PAID INTO IT. At the moment we have an International Health Service and an International Benefits System that serves anyone who enters the country regardless of the historical contribution of their ancestors to this nation and also their direct financial contributions to the system. We do not have an NHS and a welfare system that serves the interests of the British people. We have a welfare system, an NHS and a council housing system that serves immigrants and foreigners before the British people. )
Alice you are one sad woman.
