I think immigrants make up like 1% of the uk work force, so when its 8.1%, getting rid of them isn't going to solve the problem.

Well it would reduce the unemployment down to 6% providing the jobs we're then took my the unemployed. I don't think it's the answer, but it's defiantly part of the problem

This. Are the goverment really that thick that they don't realise that'll sort this problem out or at the very least knock the unemployment list right down on its arse!?
majority of those are doing jobs that British people turn their noses up at and are doing a significantly better job. If you look in any paper in the UK there are dozens and dozens of jobs week in week out, British people expect too much and play the rights game. Seriously pisses me off when people moan there are no jobs about when there are, its just a case of rolling your sleeves up and not necessarily being so 'proud' about what you do.
Unions are as much to blame, bringing the country to its knees when these people need to realise that havign a job in the first place should be appreciated

I agree, there are some lazy ppls out there. Despite what some ppls think of me on here (ie John), I am not one of them. Yeah, sure I'm in and out of work but I can honestly say out of all the jobs I've had, I've only ever liked one of them, hated the rest with a passion. I'm not one of these ppls that won't go for a job just coz it sounds crap/too easy/too hard/whatever other shite excuses ppls come out with.

Your excuses have been terrible in the past tbh.
The fact you don't have a steady job after working in loads of places says there is a problem with you, somewhere would have kept you on if you were even competent at the job.

I wasn't saying anything about you tbh, since you've brought it up though I can't come to any other conclusion than you are completely useless, which affects everyone who is in work because you are a drain on the system.

It was obvious that was aimed at me tbh 
Also, if I'm that useless, why do I work for the same companies on a regular basis?
If I was useless, I wouldn't be asked back...

Nothing was aimed at you until you mentioned my name 
Saying there are jobs out there was stating a fact, if you relate that to yourself that's not my problem.

lots of carribean, east asian people doing care work in nursing homes - that brits just wont do.
lots of polish/slovak folk doing cleaning jobs - that brits again wont do.
immigrants are doing it, and doing it well as they are satisfied with the fact that they have a job. they prob even do it for lesser wages than brits.
british folk thing they are too good for this, and just wont do it. hence why immigrants are being employed.
someone has to do it. people just need to grow up and get on with it. . we cant all sit in board meetings and get a fat wage packet for doing so. its life.

the only thing i disagree with wrt immigrant working is where they deliberately negate/flaunt minimum wage rules in order to undercut registered british businesses
wry immigrant numbers, remember that 95% of immigrants are from either the eu, the commonwealth or countries such as the US where they are 'plugging skill gaps' so to speak. also, it works both ways, i was able to work in ireland with no issues and will be able to do likewise in the US, Australia and France in future.

Jobs are out there. I fucking hate when people without a job say "im not doing that for 6 quid an hour"
John i also agree people who cant hold down a job or are in and out of work must be shit workers

Also graduates have unrealistic expectations of salaries, they won't start at the bottom they feel because they have done some half arsed degree they will instantly be entitled to earn 40k a year and have an Audi A3.

Agree with OJC. I blame the media partially, people have too high standards because of unrealistic aspirations. People used to be proud to be working class, now everyone fucking thinks they are gods gift to the world.

I don't think there's anything wrong with aspiring to be better.
You can't (normally) just get straight to where you want to be though.

That annoys me. I know someone with 2 degrees and all said person ever talks about is their qualifications and what they can do in their graduate job role to get further qualifications, what professional institutes they can join.
Its like ffs shut up nobody cares. Doesnt make you do the job better.
Experience / willing to work hard > qualifications.

Not sure that's strictly true.
