Is there really any point staying in the uk?

I do see what you mean, and robdunf has a point!

I am planning on getting a degree over here. I am educated, but am struggling to get a second job, as my first one is supply work "as and when needed". And thanks to the shitty recession, people in my work are panicking about work, and taking on more shifts, leaving me with none. So I am going to see a woman about a waitressing job tomorrow, and fingers crossed.

You know, it really annoys me when people say "We have the likes of the Poles over here because non of the Brits wanted to do the jobs". Hello? I worked for Â£2.41 an hour at 16 in a shop, done jobs like cleaning schools etc. It seemed to have been an excuse to rope the immigrants in (thanks to the legendary Gordon Brown... not). Now students and many other people like me who are getting made redundant are on the look out for these sorts of jobs. And why cant we get any? Er, because we seemed to fill all of them with Poles! This is why I am fed up with Britain. Many people who I have spoken to who are "pro mass immigration" are now in fact agreeing with me.

Stick in with your job. The thing I find, having worked with many Poles, is that they tend to keep themselves to themselves. Yes, work hard or what not, but they dont tend to talk to us. So ignore them. Just you get on with the job. Is it possible you can speak to your boss about this (oh please dont say he's Polish as well! lol).

One day, I may decide to leave Britain, but who knows. Take each day as it comes, and keep your head up! :)

Its only worth while if you weren't born here. Before anyone jumps on me for being racist, I'm not. I don't blame the non-Brits, I blame the Government.

Heh heh. Where do you think you are going to go?

The building trade in the UK has been so full of cowboys for so many years, that nobody in their right mind would prefer a British builder over the Poles.

Of course there is a point that is why the Eastern Europeans have come here. If more native Brits leave it will not have any great long-term effect in fact in the short term it would actually ease unemployment situation for those that remain. You've had a great education here stay and use it or leave and learn more in another country, we who remain will carry-on regardless. I have 8 members of family who live and work overseas (Canada and Australia) - they all still regard themselves as Brits and they are in the same situation as us, worried about their pensions and businesses.

No, britain is a sh*it hole these days. If i want to live among foreigners who get free run of the country then ill move to a foreign country.

Crikey, leave the land of Stephen Fry, Harry Potter, and Shakespeare? 'Cor blimey, mate. It's a blip. Stick it out, explore alternatives, and stay away from the US until our crisis has passed. Pip, pip.

Polish workers get jobs because they are hard working and having spoken to a couple of local job managers, they reckon they have to force them to take breaks. This makes them attractive to bosses.

However, it is all doom and gloom, listening to the news, reading a paper.

New Zealand and Australia are currently looking for trade workers, many have been amazed that they can work for a site manager down under, for the same money as they were getting for site managing in this land. The hours are often shorter, and the overtime is well paid.

Try not to let it get you down too much, but, if you are determined to move, you could do a lot worse than Australia.

Only, if you are an economic migrant or a scrounger!

With the support from the social and housing I cannot think off a better country for these people.

Yeah - go on, clear off. The world recession is only hitting UK. So much for your 'degree education' - it's a WORLD recession. Twit.
