Sorry to necro the thread, but tick tock, it's almost December, and all 29 million of us are packing our bags. Anyone care for some input from a Romanian? Glad to oblige.

Xerox will be recruiting a number of positions in Romania over the coming months, don't all be leaving just yet, pay will be very competitive for the country.

Interesting, is it to replace jobs previously done in the UK?

Nope, the UK call centre is being outsourced to Guatamala, the Romanian one will deal with southern Europe calls, mainly the Spanish and Italian markets.

UKIP are a far right extremist party that are simply the BNP with a calm attitude and a friendly smile in well tailored suits. Do not be duped by them. That blog post does not concede the salient point that the cost of living in Romania is far lower than it is in the UK. So the lower wages in Romania compared to the UK actually go a lot further than they would here. A lot further.
That blog, and the rest of UKIP's far right rhetoric is symptomatic of the central tenant of their party. Xenophobia. Immigration is their only policy which has any clarity and the only reason it resonates with the public here is in part due to the recession and also due to the inherent bigotry in a sizeable chunk of the UK electorate.
When times are tough in any country, the parties of the right start to prosper. People are looking for scapegoats, someone to take the blame and carry the cost. Who better than immigrants right ? Now I'm not saying that we don't have an immigration problem here in the UK because we do. However it's not on the scale that UKIP would like you to think it is. There are many more pressing matters in the UK than immigration, yet UKIP has no coherent arguments or solutions to any of them.
As for your comment about 'God help us !'. That's exactly the reaction UKIP want to illicit in the general public. That will win them votes. That is what they want.

Have you been to London lately? they have been living in London for years, begging for money then taking it back home.
The BBC did a program about it all.
His says on his blog " My sisters are Romanian" if you can prove that's a lie please do and show him up.

Comparing capital cities:
Indices Difference Info
Consumer Prices in London are 110.55% higher than in Bucharest
Consumer Prices Including Rent in London are 180.55% higher than in Bucharest
Rent Prices in London are 423.45% higher than in Bucharest
Restaurant Prices in London are 142.45% higher than in Bucharest
Groceries Prices in London are 104.70% higher than in Bucharest
Local Purchasing Power in London is 92.02% higher than in Bucharest
So things tend to be at least half the price of London, with rent being massively cheaper.

Are you taking the pee sunshine? I suggest you go and watch the BBC program asap.
The BBC followed them around London and when they went back home to their nice houses.
"We tracked "Lou" and his handlers as they took the bus home to a rented house in Ilford in Essex where a BMW X5 sat in the drive."

Did I say he lied about it ? No I did not. I'm confused as to why you even mention this as it has nothing to do with my post. I also find the nationality of his siblings completely irrelevant to his party's policy on immigration, or indeed his blog post.

It showed he knew what he was on about. You just did a political bla bla bla.
Yes it's your opinion and you're in entitled to it but get that facts right at least.

I think the point is, he may have stated the facts in his blog, sure, but without the context of cost of living, the raw data is a bit meaningless - though he is trying to attribute meaning to it.
