England

An old friend of mine (see: **** buddy! :D) has her own recruitment agency. She has always maintained that migrant workers give the best days labour. They don't get paid any less than the uk workers, they just work twice as hard.
When a big company asks her for a dozen workers for whatever purpose, she always contacts the migrant workers, cos she knows they'll work much harder and whinge much less than the uk ones. That's quite shameful really.
Now you could say "well uk workers know that they are being ripped off so they don't bother working hard", which is still shameful.
Or "well migrant workers need a job to stay in the country so they will work hard wont they?", but still, they are willing to do what it takes to get on with their lives. Some native workers simply aren't!

Lol, not sure what my point is, i just thought i'd mention it.
 

UK newspaper The Times has appealed to Australians in Britain not to head home, amid signs that looming recession and a plummeting pound are fuelling an Aussie exodus.

It paid tribute to famous Australians who have made their home in Britain, including Barry Humphries, Clive James and Germaine Greer, as well as the generations of young Antipodeans who have flocked to the "old country".

But in an editorial, The Times voiced alarm at new figures showing that 2,700 Australians now are heading home every month, compared to 1,750 in 2005.

"This is largely a vote of no confidence in the old country," the daily newspaper - a prominent part of Australian-born media titan Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation empire - said.

"As the recession bites, the lure of home, with unemployment at a 33-year low and the Australian dollar at an 11-year high against sterling, is very tempting."

London has long been a key destination for young Australians, who pull pints in the city's pubs and bars and famously turned the city's Earls Court area into "Kangaroo Valley".

But the economic downturn is adding another reason to leave Britain, on top of the usual gripes of Aussies here - including the notoriously miserable weather, especially at this time of year.

"There was always a case that anyone leaving Circular Quay in Sydney for Southampton dock was going the wrong way," said The Times, noting that 400,000 Australians live in Britain.

"But now, with more than 20,000 Britons leaving for their country every year, we need all the Australians we can get. Would they please not go back where they came from?"

Don't like this place, but it's been feeding me, giving me an education and training and all sorts. So I scratch its back in kind, and pay my taxes, vote in the political system, and generally be a good member of society.

First chance I get, I'm off this hole though.
