I dont think anyone is suggesting that all immigrants be "booted out" Eliza, but the conditions of entry, access to benefits and sheer numbers of entrants needs careful scrutiny.

Just yesterday, I spoke to a young Scots lad who was labouring in a local builders merchants yard....he told me he had been through uni and had reasonable qualifications, but there were no jobs available.

He appeared to hold no malice for the system which had allowed this state of afairs to come about...in fact he said he was really enjoying the manual work and the camaraderie. He said he was lucky to get a job at all as most of the "low skilled" jobs had been taken by the local East European contingent. He said it had become like a "closed shop" for manual labour, whole families and associates working for the larger industries like fish processing.

I know the guys who runs the builders merchants which is long established and they try to employ as many local young people as possible.
