Brits not up to the job

Dec 19 2008 By Maureen Messent

GREAT hoo-ha this week along the lines of foreigners having snapped up the majority of new jobs in Britain since 2001.

Good luck to them. The question it raises is why, if the vacancies were made, our own under-employed, workshy and lead-swinging home-grown Brits weren’t queuing up to fill them.
