Quite. But this country has relied too long on a stream of immigrants
to do jobs the English don't want to do.

Perhaps with doctors and nurses it;s because the hours are too long and
we in the UK do work longer hours than a lot of EU wrokers.

'We'? ;-) Why do they flock here if the hours are worse than other EU
countries?

We got rid of the other practical skills and technical collges so
everyone could go to university and sit behind desks, and if they could
do that they were useless.

Quite. All the building trades workers in London seem to hail from eastern
Europe now. And they ain't working for beads.

And the idea that paying a little
more for those jobs will end the dole queue just plain daft.

A little more is of little use if you can employ car cleaners for less
than £2.50 an hour.

You seem absolutely fixated with car cleaners. Odd, given you don't own a
car.

Perhaps we could go back to employing kids on bob-a-job that would
undercut all the low grade EU workers I doubt they'll work for 5p an
hour.

I get the impression most kids couldn't do the sort of jobs you did for
that bob a job in the old days.
