Rats, Sinking Ship…
The news that the huge wave of immigration from Poland is reversing as Poles take their savings back to Poland and start buying homes and building businesses has that unmistakable whiff of rats leaving a sinking ship. Totally unfair of course as they built our Miller Homes for the past five years and kept our hotels manned and have now decided to return to their own homeland. They always said they would!
What comes next? Bulgarians might fill the gap of course and we can keep enlarging EU. Soon we might welcome Kazakhs or Tajiks from Northern Afghanistan. Or we might even need to do our own menial jobs as well.
The government has spotted a likely contingent of workers in the form of the phalanx of workers on disability who supposedly cannot work (which include a large proportion of Glasgow’s workers). They will now be retrained and returned to work. If the hotel receptionist looks at you a little strangely next time… now you know why
