EU pays jobless migrants to come to Britain

What do you think? Great post to kick of a discussion, 5 stars would read again.

Also lol at the Torygraph's garbage reporting trying to make you associate "jobless migrant" with "chaps from Africa" when EURES is about moving EU citizens around. If you want to get worked up about something:

EU sources said British public bodies did not take part in the scheme, meaning there was a low uptake among the unemployed in this country.

Go and shout at the government for not offering something to UK citizens that could be genuinely beneficial and then harping on about getting poor value from the EU.

Different subject as this is about the EU supporting migration to the UK.

We know the other leave it at that. :rolleyes:

But if the EU is suppose to be a community and all for one, one for all etc.

Why is this happening? I thought solidarity and union was what the EU was about?

Not pass the buck onto us!
 
Some 1,178 unemployed young people from the Continent have been found jobs, training or apprenticeships in Britain under the “jobs mobility” programme since it was set up in 2012.

Doesn't sound like they are a jobless burden to me, OP?
 
would be good if some of the UK unemployed looked for opportunities in Europe too, nothing stopping them really other than a sense of entitlement that someone needs to 'give' them a job or the govt owes them a living
 
If the Job Centre engaged with the scheme then I agree that would be a positive. It would require them to shift their focus to getting people into employment and away from being as petty as possible to keep costs low and I'm not sure the mouth breathers who work there would be able to cope.

Fair enough its a different topic at least

We only have ourselves to blame yet again, if we were supplying our own unemployed for the scheme I doubt very much it would be such a high migrant figure.

The problem is they will never get the same level of help in other other European countries like they do here. Most of Europe can't even give there own jobs, how are they going to do that for the Brits. then you have language barriers, they level of help here is greater than the level of help there, plus English is a common business language.
Plus its easier for non Brit to get a job in the UK compared to a Brit getting a job in Europe.

I did not say anything about a burden, that equates to one person a day for 3 years. :rolleyes:

We are going to have a EU referendum soon and to be honest I need to know where I stand.

The way things look I want out ASAP, because they seem to be at the balls with us for some reason. :mad:
 
This story doesn't support your viewpoint at all. I think you posted your reaction before you had digested it, guided by trash journalism.

Why are you not reading things again????

Its our own fault! UK unemployed WOULD be able to get jobs as its a scheme paid for out of the EU fund!

Well what do you expect. The EU has rules that apply to all of it's members equally. Having freedom of movement between countries which are peers is fine, not when they aren't, everyone flocks to where it is great. It would be fine if we were all one massive nation with one economy, but we're not. It's a group of many economies that are run in different ways.

It's like turning up to a buffet with many tables, run by many different chefs. Some produce great food and some produce bad food. There are people designated to certain buffet tables, but then someone comes in and says actually you can eat from whatever table you want. Everyones gonna get the good food.
 
Point is not getting into arguments, because we declined the immigration proposal by the EU do you think they have it in for us ?
 
Nope, you chose to post a thread and you should defend your points. If you equate that with arguing then that's your failing.

If you want an echo chamber then just post comments on any number of the right-wing press websites and fish for upvotes.

The level of equality in Europe has not evolved like in the UK, the UK everyone is almost equal, in Euro main land the nation state citizen comes first then anyone else in jobs, if they had a qualified foreign national and a lesser qualified home national they would choose the home national over the qualified one.

Up votes, post counts etc don't mean anything to me. :rolleyes:

Its a real life issue that needs to be addressed, because the is a vote on the EU membership coming up and this **** needs sorting.
 
A scheme that provides a framework for companies to promote vacancies across the entire EU and provides funding to assist with relocation and language skills needs 'sorting'?
