That’s almost slave-trade. Latvian authorities are living on those tips Britons give them as bribes. In exchange they sort out and help to legalize departure of most Latvian master-spirits for symbolic export duty of £75. Over last two years almost 40 thousand Latvian scientists and skilled workers immigrated into UK. And what does Latvia gets in return? Miserable 4 thousand plain guests are tradesmen and repairers from least successful EU countries. It seems to me that this isn’t equal exchange. No wonder with such tax in 650 lat (about a thousand euro) for working papers.
It turns out that Latvia is undergoing degradation. And Latvian culture standard is decreasing. The number of illegal guest workers is rising and quality of their work is terrifying. So our Latvian authorities are corrupted traitors of their own people. And Great Britain is provoking them to that treachery. Soon Latvia would be populated with guest workers, neo-Nazi idiots and uneducated unlucky fellows while Britons will be using Latvian best scientists, artists and designers. But, unfortunately, their achievements would be called British ones.
