Big deal! If I could work abroad and earn big money and get the government to send money home to my children I would consider it. However I live in the softest touch country in the world so why move?

Lets perpetuate the myth that they do the jobs no one else will do, shall we?

#1 and #2: For Heaven's sake! A 5-line story - 48 words - in which a councillor expresses one positive opinion, and just listen to the pair of you! Ever heard of the term knee-jerk?

#2 ... or the vast sums of money they return to their homeland, or take with them when they leave,or the wage rates they undermine

So, they undermine wage rates by presumably undercutting an already low rate yet still have "vast sums of money..."? Brilliant! Get a grip!

Do you feel concerned by the staff shortages in the city’s Indian restaurants?
No, I don’t really like Indian food
Yes, I think it will mean a fall in quality
They’re businessmen, they’ll find a way around it.
