    Newsflash that an 'Enterprise Zone' is to be established in East Yorkshire to counter BAE/Brough redundancies. <ok>

    No details yet. Anyone know anything?

    David Davis used the Thatcher equivalents as a 'good' example of their success. The 900 highly skilled well paid workers at Brough will be rubbing their hands excitedly at the thought of stacking shelves in B & Q as a result!

    I thought they'd been setting up the Enterprise Zone since the Liberals were in?

    More bullshit from ****ing idiot politicians, If they really want to secure jobs they should boot out 2 or 3 million immigrants and give the work to Brits.

    Yes - but wasn't that formed around Alex Dock, the Siemens factory and a site on the South Bank? This is supposed to be in the East Riding

    and would you do the work that only immigrants tend to do for the same money? I think not. You never see an immigrant with a begging bowl on the streets of Cities. Thesese b'beggers' tend to be the worthless social security scum who sponge off the state and have never worked. I say we get rid of the millions more 'home-grown' scroungers off Brans'urm and the like before we isolate many more who are prepared to work for a living at minimum wage (and sometimes less)

    No, mate - bring the jobs back from China, India, Taiwan, Indonesia, Brazil, Malaysia ( = IMPOSSIBLE!)

    Then - bring back all the emigrants from Canada, Oz, New Zealand, South Africa, the US, etc., etc. Fill this country up! Restore the British Empire!

    Fact - we are a country of immigrants. Always have been.

    Well said. Also, when I walk down springbank and see all the businesses these immigrants have set up, I wonder why haven't the 'Brits' done the same.

    The Enterprise zones are explained here;

    Seems all they do is move jobs from one area to another.

    Cheers for the link, mate! So - is the govt. announcing the same thing - again? Or - is there to be a new E-Zone in the East Riding (as the result of the BAE redundancies)?

    I did hear someone on the local news suggesting extending the Hull and Humber zone to include Brough, but this seems it's being reported as a new zone. Fat face Pickles says each zone is geared towards specific industries, ie Hull and Humber is a renewable energy super cluster. So what would Brough be?

    Brough is a satellite town of Hull, most the BAE workers live in and around Hull and their skills apparently would be ideal for windfarm production. Do those making the announcement actually realise this?

    Alot of unanswered questions here. Seems like a panic announcement to me without actually thinking it through.

    If you lot really believe the Tory's are gonna wave a magic wand and create a ****load of jobs for the soon to be redundant workers of BAE then you are sadly deluded. MPs survive on bullshit. And I'm not a right wing extremest, If consecutive UK governments including this one flood the country with Immigrants whilst at the same time fail to properly train our youth to do anything other than fill out benefit forms then obviously problems will arise.

    I do not blame the migrants for wanting to take advantage of our foolish behaviour I blame our short sighted soft bastards in power.

    I think the undercutting's part of the problem rather than a plus point, especially as the money goes out of this economy.

    The Brits moved out as they couldn't compete with the subsidise many of the newcomers got as well as the change in demographics affecting the traditional markets and favouring the subsidised newcomers. i suppose it keeps food inspectors busy.

    That's a bit simplistic DMD - they eat, pay rent, run vehicles, etc. Where I live (and in neighbouring counties) if agriculture or the packing-stations need a labour force, then it's usually eastern Europeans - work hard, get paid less.

    How do you think your lass manages to buy such 'cheap' food? (And the companies will be raking in the profits. It's them who are robbing us, not the Poles/Lithuanians/etc.

    It's quite a simple problem, made complicated by others. When I was at school, we worked in agriculture to earn pocket money. It saved us pimping off parents and let us buy extras from local shops. As the economy bit, adults would take the work and do it during the day. Fair enough, it's still money in the loop.

    Mass imigration (which the instigators themselves was fraudulent and a gross mistake) mean that even the low paid locals are undercut and can't afford to take the jobs.

    NOt in every case, but in a percentage high enough to affect ur economy, the wages are spent with foreign gangmasters and foreign shops with a surplus sent "home" while we pay the social security NHS etc. Even the vehicles tend to be outside of our legislation, while we pay benefits to those previously willing to work.
