I'm alright, screw everyone else seems to the sentiment in this country today and it's a shame. Jobs in Britain should go to British workers if they have the skills to do them, as is the case regarding Total. How much is it going to cost to keep these people who are perfectly able to do skilled engineering jobs on the dole as opposed to them working and paying taxes?
My boss said the other day there aren't enough socialist values left in this country anymore, and I agree with him.
Even if those British workers cost more? Who should pay the additional costs?
This is the key issue, are we prepared to pay the extra for protectionist policies, or alternatively are our 'skilled' workforce prepared to lower their rates to ensure they are competitive?
The problem with this country is not a lack of socialist values, it's far too many, causing people to abdicate responsibility for the consequences of their demands.
