James - Is that like Jim, but not as we know it?

Whatever. Stop taking bollocks. The real unemployment and hardship is not and never has been in rural areas. If you think so try living in Salford or Hulme or Moss Side for a few weeks. Interestingly enough in those areas Immigrant workers have always been welcome. First the Irish, then West Indians, then Asians and now East Europeans. All still living in relative harmony. If you ignore the drug related gun crime of course...

And before you ask - I have lived in both urban and rural areas as well as having lived in England and Europe. I think that the world in which I live is real enough for anyone.
