How hypocritical can the right be sometimes? - 556 - 05-15-2014 11:33 PM
Those that say Polish builders are stealing a job but when their house needs work they take advantage of the Polish builders if they are so patriotic why don't all these people hire British workers as they say "British jobs for British workers" (which is a load of toss as any job deserves to be on merit)
Or those that go to Polish convenient stores, Mr Patel's off license etc... How the right make me laugh sometimes!
we all know this occurs you cannot deny this!
take advantage meaning they enjoy the benefits of his labour if they are so anti Polish people and them stealing "British jobs" the fact is they should never hire them in the first place it makes them hypocritical fact!
If the right love their British workers so much they should just hire white Brits for their plumbing, building, shopping etc... This is not the case so it shows that even right wing actually don't care

How is employing a polish building worker taking advantage of them, unless you are paying very low wages and tying them up in a shed with scraps for dinner
I doubt polish builders feel exploited when they send their wages and family allowance cheque home
dammed if we employ them dammed if we dont !

No more hypocritical than those who employ people who are under qualified because they are not white.
The NHS is flooded with employees who are poorly trained and cannot be understood ....but they fill quotas innit?

Yeah I'd add the word lazy to hypocritical too because I'm sure that plays a part. You can't keep phoning 'round plumbers checking their nationalities before hiring one, not when you've got a burst pipe. Well, you could but it's time and effort people seldom care to expend these days. Plus, it makes you look like a racist and granted some of the people you refer to are indeed racist, they prefer to be racist on Yahoo and Facebook because in person they don't have the bottle.
Same is true for the store (although I would have thought that Mr Patel's off-license would have been owned by a different section of the community?) again, the average Joe can't be bothered to go past a shop that has what he wants in order to reach the shop owned by the person who looks like him where he perhaps now has to spend a little more money on the item too.
The 'patriotism' extends to making racist comments and feeling good amongst their peers. That's it.

I agree with One Drop. Immigrants would leave this country if they knew there was no chance of them getting work. Yet British people of all different political persuasions shop in their shops, hire them to do work, ride in their taxis, eat in their restaurants. If people do not want immigrants here they can vote with their pockets.
The Right Wing attitude towards workers wages also completely puzzles me. During the 1970s and 1980s workers fought for better wages through the Trade Union movement. The darling of the Right, Thatcher came along and virtually (but not completely ) destroyed that movement and the Right were all happy as it kept down "greedy wage demands." Does anybody actually think for one moment that if there still were a strong Union movement in this country worker's wages would be being undercut?? Not a chance!! The RMT are one of the few strong unions left and their workers were not replaced by cheaper foreigners. Their pay continued to rise through the recession. How the Right cannot see the hypocrisy in their anti union stance and their complaining of low wages is beyond me.

Hi Young
I had an interesting conversation with odd job man, Brian, from Southern Ireland. He was bemoaning the fact that so many Polish people are now in Southern Ireland and are working at cheap rates to take the work from Irish men. I pointed out that he was in the UK rather than staying in Southern Ireland.
Brian looked bemused then said that Irish people had always come to the UK - so that's all right!!
Best wishes.

Many people have to have the work rectified as well because it has not been done properly. You get what you pay for.
As for going to Pakistani corner shops, I would rather walk barefooted on glass and go to Sainsbury's than pay for the overcharged out of date stuff the majority of these shops sell.

So are the Polish sort of like the Mexican's of America ?

When it comes to hypocrisy look no further than the left. I'm not sure what corny, Jack and the like were doing during the 1960s and 70s when apparently all these precious darlings of the trade union movenemt were doing was meekly asking for a few more coppers in the old man's hat, but they must have been asleep or are now being disingenuous.
. The reality was that this massive disruption and greed was all part and parcel of the attempted political red revolution on the shop floor.
It was nothing to do with any altruistic desire to improve the lot of ordinary people, just do not believe them! They will keep telling you how Thatcher closed the industries down when she did no such thing. No PM would whatever colour they were. The fact is the revolution was designed not to bring wealth to working people but power to the new liberal elite. Which it has. Do they give a toss about the workers now? No. They are the loudest supporters of immigration. They are the loudest supporters of keeping people on benefits. They are the loudest when it comes to imposing rules and new restrictions upon the freedoms we once had. They'll tell you ther are libertarians but read beneath the words and judge them by what they have done and are continuing to do.
They'll tell you how wonderful comp ed is; and they'll lower the academic bar so all the dimwits get A grades. The fact that they are unemployable because in reality they are barely educated at all does not faze them in their hypocrisy one bit. They hope that by now we're all so uneducated they can tell us anything. Even so far as looking you in the face and telling you how great comp eds are yet sending their own kids to private schools. Hypocrisy.
The right have always argued for the retention of genuinely high standards; the left have pretended to claimn to be able to acieve them by dumbing-down then insult you for pointing out how wrong they always are.
That is hypocrisy.
The Polish builders are just one more facet in the continuing left wing con-trick that is the now socialist paradise called the EU.
You'll see in the run up to the European elections much about Ukip and I'll tell you this much: the lefties will just hurl insults and call them names. They have nothing more tangible to offer and they rightly see Ukip as a threat to their continuing revolution that has and is damaging our country by the day. Everything about it is negative and dumbed-down.
