When the BNP first suggested that migration, particularly from Eastern Europe, was reducing wage pressure, thereby gradually depressing the incomes of working families, the Establishment media and politicians called it “BNP scare mongering”. When we said migrant workers were taking the jobs of British workers, the Labour Party and the Labour Party supporting unions claimed it was all “BNP lies”! However research from the House of Commons Library proves once and for all that the BNP has been right – once again – all along!
According to a media report:
“Half a million fewer Britons are in work following the unprecedented influx of migrants from Eastern Europe, it was disclosed last night. MPs said the figure demolishes the Government’s claim to be providing ‘British jobs for British workers’. Research by the independent House of Commons Library found that 24,473,000 people of working age born in the UK held jobs in 2003 – the year prior to the expansion of the EU. But the figure has now fallen to 23,948,000, a dramatic cut of 525,000 in the size of the home-grown workforce.”
The media report also states:
“… the key figure is the fall in the percentage of the UK’s working-age population who have jobs – down from 75.7 per cent in 2003 to 75.2 per cent in 2007. It dispels the Government’s claim that immigrants are not taking jobs from British workers, but filling gaps left by a reduction in the size of the British-born workforce. Instead, the figures suggest that a larger number of Britons of working age are finding themselves out of jobs.”
Clearly the Labour regime doesn’t give a hoot for the livelihoods of British working people – its overriding concern is providing an endless stream of cheap foreign labour for its friends and backers in The City.
