Caribbean Beauty Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 There were dozens of illegal Brits on the island in the windies we lived on (which I will not name so do not bother to PM me) and when I visited California towards the end of the 90s recession in 94, I was told by a US INS colleague (I was UK immigration officer then) that there were an estimated 10,000 illegal Brits working behind the bars and eateries of Santa Monica alone. Thousands of Brits are illegally bumming around or working in Oz, NZ, Canada, Florida and so on. When I worked at Heathrow we used to be informed by the airlines of Brit deportees being flown back in advance, and we used to point them out to Special Branch for a "little chat in a side room" to try to find out if they had been up to anything overly naughty. If only we could export all our scrounging feckless crimino-chavs and replace them with hard working honest foreigners, all our problems would be solved.

You just need to be a little more discerning on who they are working hard for. all is not quite as it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's revenge, afterall in Shanghai pre-war they did have a sign on a park gate saying no dogs or Chinese*. *actually they didn't but the fact was that those were the park rules!

Yes , alot of these illegal brits work up north in the fruit/vegetable growing regions near the fitzroy and murchison rivers (in Western Australia anyway).Earning 8 dollars cash per hour picking watermelons and putting them into a slow moving truck all day.Bloody hard work.

ken_ichikawa Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 From the comments: Who new the enlightened East was run by UKIP like facist/racist authorities... It isn't, you need a licence to run such stalls, its like HK in the 1980s, illegal hot food stalls were everywhere. When somebody shouted police are coming, people would leg it pushing their trollies away as quickly as possible. The irony is how Brits are so vocal about migration to the UK but seem to think its OK for them to do exactly the same in other countries. I.e. the old student visa but really going ther eto work scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest_FaFa!_* Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Here is the blog post http://www.chinasmack.com/2011/pictures/british-egg-fried-rice-at-shanghai-tongji-university.html I cannot believe Ken is seriously suggesting that these are Brit migrant workers. They must be students earning pocket money/buggering about. Why would you do this when it is simple enough to get a language teaching gig?

madpenguin Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I have a friend that is currently working in aus who "hates the Polish for taking all the jobs in this country", he said this before he left. Any basis to his claims though? have most of the jobs in his field been taken by immigrant workers? If the answer is yes, and he found something else abroad rather than being on the dole in the UK, then I say good luck to him, at least he's trying to do something about his situation. Pretty much the same thing happened to me, couldn't get work in the UK so found something out of it.

What are you suggesting? Are you suggesting that our Ken would have just posted a picture and then built a story around it!? How very, very dare you!! Mind you, sometimes Ken is beyond our ken...
