Hello Share Washers. Rather surprisingly, given the world’s wobbly economic situation, employment seems to be pretty strong these days.This appears to be especially true of Blighty. There is an all-time record at the moment for the number of British jobs.

Less able British people have historically been totally reliant on lower paid jobs in supermarkets and hotels . For many , they are the only jobs they can do .
These sort of jobs should be reserved for less able Britons .
They can’t compete with over-qualified applicants who are brought in from the less affluent countries of the EU .
A lot of what you say Penna does is commendable but there are hardly any Briton’s working in Aldi ( or Lidl ) .
