Finally the English wake up
Article Video Photos

Editorial

England today woke up to the reality of economic depression engulfing much of the world with the first signs that protests will be something common place with the scenes being broadcast from the Total refineries in the north of England.

It has been a byword in Europe that the English are a placid conservative race, who on the whole show signs of apathy and refuse to demonstrate.  You remove someone’s livelihood, savings, home and recruit foreign labour then all of the above characteristics change 360 degrees.

In Greece, Spain and France the populations have held mass rallies against the failed economic policies of the European Union and the respective governments in those countries.  Only yesterday on a BBC London phone in a caller in effect said "recession what recession? I'm alright mate I don't really care I am off to Thailand this year".   The caller was immediately corrected by a succession of other callers questioning what planet he was on.

This once proud nation must start beginning to reclaim its destiny, and the population must start to engage in the political process and understand the damage the Labour government has inflicted on the everyday man.

Anger should not be directed at the migrant labour force that has come to fill jobs that indigenous Londoners do not want.  Anger must be directed  at the government for making it easier to abuse the welfare system and has encouraged a sub-culture of lazy English men and women to develop. 

People born and raised in this country must try and fill the vacancies and eliminate the need to employ "foreign labour".  Its time people started getting angry with the state of the nation, we need fundamental changes in the political and economic system that properly represent the demands of its peoples.

I am bored with the usual lazy editorials, that use the term, "we should not take it out on the immigrant workers, as they do the jobs the british do not want to do". Since when did the majority of us take anything out on immigrant workers, are you all judging us by your own standards? as to the jobs we british do not want to do, is that the work that students used to do to top up their miniscule income whilst studying at uni or perhaps the mums part time job to afford the little stuff her kids need, like a school uniform or shoes. a lot of these jobs are not available now, simply because as we know, the open door policy meant they are taken by immigrants. Not only taken, but the wages reduced by the proprietors. This applies to the many diffenrt trades and proffesions. We now have polish dentist in our area, lets see how the so called proffesions enjoy, diversity, inclusivity, enrichment. This is what has been happening to the london cab trade for yaers, the use of foriegn labour to manipulate. yet has your cab ride got cheaper? Like hell has it, propbably more expensive (as in Liecester sq) so the proprietors can buy a new thorough bred horse, , whilst making the immigrants work many long hours, paying them a pittance. in the meantime these same so called upstanding people are bribeing their way through the corridors of power, whilst influencing them to break the Laws of the land. the very Laws used against the ordinary working man to compell him/her to accept inclusivity, enrichment, diversity. As to the "Finally the English wake up" we have been awake for a long time, but none of the leaders were listening. really they were ignoring us and treating us all with contempt, now we have a banner to group around and the politicos, and establsihment are afraid of the response to their treachery. it's our country, our nation, our people.
