In the main I usually disagree with strikes, especially in these turbulent times! However in this case I whole-heartedly agree with these protesters! Why on earth should a foreign national be able to come into this country and take British jobs? "Come to soft touch Britain, we'll give you a house, free money and a job over actual Britons cause we don't want to look like we're discriminating" Oh yeah that'll go far! Well let me tell you, this strike may only be the beginning! As this recession gets worse, it'll only be a step from disgruntled to hate, from hate to violence, and a downward spiral from there! This country has became far too left wing and liberal, which I suppose was fine while we had 10 years of boom, but come the next 10 years of bust... we need to start thinking about our own countrymen! As they say, charity starts at home!
