Thread Name: BS: Polish Workforce in Britain
Subject: RE: BS: Polish Workforce in Britain
There are two issues conflated here, and I suspect the sinister and fascistic Bonzo to be trying a switcheroo.

I have much admiration for many Poles who I have met - and remember with affection (parts of) a reception I went to at the Polish Heart Club after I lawyered the TV series "Struggles for Poland". And indeed the Visnouvka.

Equally I admire hard work and the self employed Poles who work here on that basis can properly work as long and hard and cheaply as they wish. Subject to the Working Time directive. The Working Time Directive saves lives. Remember the French driving posters "Trop d'heures, pas assez sommeil"?

However, the use of cheap labour to drive down the wages and conditions of workers is only to be deprecated - and I infer that that is what you seek to promote. You appear to value subservience and saving your money to preserving the dignity of your fellow man or woman.

Shame on you.
