Time to take responsibility
Filed under: Uncategorized
I feel sorry for Gordon Brown. The press have vilified him for calling an elderly lady a bigot. I wonder if she had been unemployed, with ear piercings through her body parts and tattooes and young it would have had the same re-action. For some reason we seem to think that all elderly people are vulnerable and sweet. Recall your childhood fairy tales. The wicked witch is always an old evil woman and there are plenty of those around today.
Immigration, immigration, it has become a word that sets people off. I’m no exception. If I was in the UK with a small business whose major costs were wages and I had a choice of employing a 22 year old man, that left school at 16 with no qualifications and had been unemployed since then or a European of the same age that had the gumption to up sticks and move countries in order to improve his life, I know which I would choose. One shows clear work ethic the other shows lack of response.
Last year the highest levels of unemployment were in Sandwell, Tower Hamlets and Birmingham. So it would make sense if you live there to not squander your education. If you leave school at 16 and then go onto unemployment benefit you can’t blame other people when they get a job and you don’t. You don’t have a right to a job, you have to earn it and prove yourself to a future employer and wasting your education and doing nothing with your life is not a recommendation it is a rejection. There is always the choice of moving to an area where unemployment is lower. If the Eastern Europeans can change countries why can’t the people in Sandwell move a mere county or two. The canal system is excellent in the black country.
So there could be a mass exodus of people heading for the hills as last year the lowest rates of unemployment were found in the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands. According to the AA route map it will take the people of Sandwell around 13 hours and 21 minutes to reach the Orkney Islands, so the good people of Orkney prepare yourself. Sandwellians in search of employment will be arriving early evening today…..
