Yeah, I'd like to think that's the case.

I guess it must be the case that if a UK agency is bringing in foreign workers, they would need to be paid under UK employment law and paid at least minimum wage. I've no idea how it works if it's a foreign agency sending overseas workers to work in the UK. I would imagine you'd need visas and some kind of tax set up where you pay tax in the country where it's earned.

That said, big corps like Google were making huge profits in the UK, but were based in Ireland to take advantage of their tax breaks. I guess it's different rules if you've got the financial clout like the big tech companies....

Yeah the ones I'm on about were foreign agencies. There was no advertisement of the jobs in the UK.

Part of what you are alluding to (last paragraph) is currently being addressed by 'Pillar 2' of an OECD exercise (BEPS) ... think of it as FFP for business ... very very broadly it's aimed at ensuring a minimum 15% tax on 'terratorial' profits of the biggest corporations ...

most of this was while we were in the EU
 
Wasn't it the EU that put measures into place to address this with the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) legislature that Fosse was mentioning ?

The OECD mate - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - broadly the EU and other major democratic economies - us, USA, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Switzerland etc ...

my point was about free movement which led to the rise of only east europeans being able to apply for jobs as agencies just recruited from mainly Poland .Beps is to do with large companies shifting revenue / profit to the most advantageous tax regime - see Ireland for ddetails
 
About 6 years ago I done some forklift work for a few weeks in Wandsworth recycling center.

When I went for my first day I looked around this corridor that's I was stood in full of people who looked like they had leukemia and the supervisor started talking in a language I guessed was some Eastern European speak, 15 mins he rattling on ...he never said a word of English to anyone as he barked out each workers tasks for the day (i guessed)

Anyways after that was over I walked up to him and said I don't speak whatever that was and I'm here to forklift so where do I go.

He kinda of apologised about the days brief being delivered in a foreign language and walked me down to where id be working to meet my colleague.

He spoke to him for 4mins in again in another language I cant speak and for the next 3 weeks me and this guy literally communicated via a translator app on our phones.

This was Wandsworth in Poland obviously so dunno what my problem was<whistle>


Poles have mostly gone home now mate. Which is a shame, because immigration is not going to stop, and the Poles were okay, a decent bunch, very dry sense of humour.

When I worked for Ocado in Shepherds Bush, about half of my colleagues were Polish. Hard workers but nobody’s mugs. I learned to swear in Polish, every other word was kouvash (****)..

They were mostly a bit racist though.

I thought you were referring to the latter part of my post, but yep free movement was really beneficial for Eastern Europeans coming to the UK to work. I don't know if there are any figures for it, but I bet productivity in manual labour and service industry jobs increased when they were here, because they brought an unrivalled work ethic with them.

Since we left the EU, we now can't fill the jobs we need for carers, transport, warehouses, service industry etc and I think the UK labour market is something like 300,000 short of what it needs in these areas.
 
I had a look a BGatesIsaPyscho account on Twitter

He's clearly not paranoid as **** then
 
The clue may have been in the name.

It was as I expected

Moon landings are fake
Time magazine is a front for Satan
Zionists are sending immigrants to countries to establish a New World Order and create chaos
 
Is the Parka jacket symbolic of something. Fairly sure this clip was doing the rounds about five years ago.

The cold heart of the Marxist Left ?

To be fair, this is exactly what the Christians did when they arrived in Britain. Tore down pagan worship and sacred sites, burned heretics alive and supplanted all of their festivals with their own over the top.

If twitter had been around in the 3rd century I'm sure @mypaganland would have had something to say about it.

I fear for the blokes handing out free Qu’rans outside Shepherds Bush train station after we go 1-0 up and lose 2-1 tonight.
