- James O'Brien condemns James Cleverly for 'boasting' about his plan to deliver Britain's 'biggest ever' cut in migration by banning overseas care workers from brining dependants.
In a post on Twitter, the Home Secretary said: "Today in Parliament we have laid an order to ban overseas care workers from bringing dependants. This is just one part of our plan to deliver the biggest-ever cut in migration."
"You’re telling them, ‘you can come and take care of my family, but you won’t be allowed care for your own," James says, while branding the proposed measures 'disgusting.'

Where I worked, we had a colleague do a twelve hour shift with no break, who got fired for eating a left over sandwich too. The disciplinary process lasted two weeks (she was suspended), I can still remember her coming for the hearing in floods of tears. Absolutely terrified. My jaw dropped when they told me she was gone. Wherever you are now Liz, I hope it's kind. The company in question was ASDA.
@Same thing happened where I worked except it was a left over baguette and she was sacked..and deported!!
Nice of you to stay in touch Jake. You clearly cared about her greatly (or is it just that you say you do and think that's enough?)
@@Andrew-ti8hi it's terrible. And cold-hearted. Deported too?? What a kind country we are. To dream of a land with better opportunities, only to find you're starving at work and being thrown out for wanting to eat something. I hope she's having a better life somewhere else
@@GH-pt3eg oh no I deeply cared. It was wrong, callous, and borderline depraved. Thankfully a lot of staff have moved on. Cruelty doesn't inspire kindness, it'll just cause an absence of loyalty. I don't know where she is, but hopefully it's kind.
@@jake90052 you miss my point Jake.
You have done nothing but virtue signal. You must actually do something, not just say things
The law firm that sacked a cleaner for eating a discarded sandwich should be named and shamed, she would almost certainly be a contractor on minimum wage, sounds typical, nuff said.
I believe(from Reddit) that it was the contracting company that sacked the worker, and the Law firm didn't have a problem with her eating left overs.
The cleaner might count on sandwich tray leftovers the way low income kids count on school lunches.
@@danmayberry1185 Is there a Marcus Rashford in that law firm?
The law firm didn’t sack her the contractor cleaning firm did.
JOB likes to lie.
The law firm asked for no action to be taken against the cleaner.
JOB just likes to rile up the plebs.
Cleverly, never was someone named so poorly.
for bonus amusement, he represents the seat of Braintree...
...for now
He's finally surpassed me
Big up Jamesey

What happens when you give "The Worst in society" power? This, this is what happens
The power in charge loves mass immigration. 1.2 million in one year. Immigration is capitalism importing an OVER SUPPLY of labour in, which is a race to the bottom particularly for the working class. Capitalism will never invest in training, robotics or increase pay and conditions if it can just fly in labour.
No when you give it to the worst you get mass immigration
Tru dat
and a voice on radio
"Worst in society" we can hope, but unfortunatley I think the Torys can do worse and will.
Why would any caregiver choose to live in England under these horrible conditions??.
Because it's better than spending your days eating noodles and swatting flies off your face?
It's just a stepping stone to a better paid job. Once they are in they can work towards whatever profession they are qualified in. Many carers are qualified nurses and once they have passed IELTs English and had their nursing degrees recognised by their adopted country they enter the medical profession. Many subsequently go to Australia or America where wages and conditions are much better than in Europe.
They should stay in thier own countrys and improve life there.Britain is the best country in the world otherwise they wouldnt come in such huge numbers Wouldthey???
@Jennaconnor23 oh poor dear. Just cause you are better than war torn countries doesn't make you the best.
Britain is broken and will be broken up before too long and I will rejoice @@LeahMayaYasmin
Thank you James for displaying a return to Victorian Britain. e.g. hanging a hungry kid for stealing an apple.
People would not eat leftovers unless they are hungry. Lawyers that are extremely well fed show their meaness, by preferring a tuna sandwich to be thrown away.When did the UK become so heartless, lacking in empathy and shameless? Please have some grace and allow the cleaner a little dignity.
This happened when the tory party came to power.
James, then allow the Ukrainian to care for the elderly, after all they have freedom to come over and live in uk ,no thousands of pounds spent for visas as the non whites have pay,in order to do care,or is it beneath them to care for the elderly .

This is not only completely crazy it‘s utter cruel😢
The Tories have always been like this... why is it only now? People are noticing their inhumanity.
@taykitrleevitt4314 you're right ..... we should be letting anyone who wants to come here. 😏
Not cruel, it's common sense.
It’s the dying, arrogant gasps of a dying empire that seems to think it can just will itself back into dominance.
I disagree. We were dominant at the right time. Now we cannot be. Things go in cycles. We can however, still decide who may enter this country, why and for how long. If we choose to restrict potential arrivals, then it is not a crime - the problem with this 'not-so-Cleverly' bloke, is that he should stop immigration immediately and for 5 years, until we have sorted out who on earth is here already.
What utter tosh!
@Mike-tb5gj I'm also an immigrant and I don't understand why legitimate legal measures to limit migration are looked at as automatically negative. BUT it would go a long way in de-racialising the issue by pointing out that legal migration contributes so much to the economy but is not sustainable long term.
@@Mike-tb5gj
Britain being "dominant" at the "right time" 🤦🏻🤣
You do realise Britain's invasive, enslaving, imperial, thieving past is absolutely NOTHING to be proud of, don't you?!
Therefore there is and never WAS a "right time" to be "dominant".
Also, the British government and certain banks like Barclays, Natwest and HSBC ARE helping to cause the continued increase in refugees, so therefore Britain MUST take in some of these refugees they are to blame for displacing/dehoming etc.
"Empire?" What on earth are you even on about?
The cruelty of this corrupt government is off the scale.

Ive lived and worked in dubai for 14 years and it's common practice to invite staff who are not on a living wage to food. The idea of firing someone for eating food is absolutely shameful.

In the 90s as a student, I worked weekends in a supermarket. It was common for staff (white natives) to consume the out of date items which were consigned to the dumpster.
Not often allowed generally. I worked in a factory 2 years ago and a supermarket till last year. The supermarket changes policy back and forth on allowing expired things not claimed by charity to be taken by staff, but as I understand this is not the norm across all supermarkets. Was an absolute no from the factory

This person ate something or if you will, disposed of something that someone else had already thrown away? And got fired. Should be rewarded for more effective waste disposal.
i think companies are scared that if she got sick maybe she could sue. Same reason why supermarkets throw so much food away.
Maybe if 40,000 care workers weren't sacked to take the jab we would be in a better place now ... Just a thought

And yesterday they ended the Ukrainian families resettlement programme. This is inhumane.

@@lunarollsby9296 homelessness cannot be "solved" unless you remove the incentive for many millions of people to bother working at all. I don't dispute the government could do more, but it's not something that can be solved.
I am married to a Filipino and she told me , Filipinos do not want to go to the UK because they have better countries to go to who look after their independence / spouses,
So let the Uk suffer and get the unemployed to wipe the bums of the lordships …

I love it when individual's speak for a nation, not.
My partner is also Filipino. Under the new plans to stop spouse coming to live here unless you are rich and wealthy it is impacting us big time. The government needs to be kicked out and replaced ASAP
Cut this nonsense out!! No one is forcing these people to accept the job. It’s about time Brits look after their own people stop relying on people from poor countries to do your job for you.
My son lives and works in Helsinki. He has a finnish partner and they have a son of one now. He lived and worked in Sweden and is now a Swedish citizen. As far as I'm aware, he won't be able to return to work here in the UK and bring his family with him unless he earns over £30700 pa.
Rotten Tories
I have two offspring who could never come back here and why would they. I would have gone but the Government has closed the EU door. Our very own Iron Curtain.

@@jameshogan6142 You should stop listening to Dave down the local and reading the Mail. It rots your brain.
the care industry in this country is on its knees. my dad works in care before he retired and at 65 he was doing 70 hours plus weeks not including sleepover work becuase there was not enough staff. Bare in mind this is all at minimum wage which explain the awful turnover rate, in my hometown everyone knows there is always a job going in care but the pay is shocking the hours terrible and you have to look after people which is an extremely challenging job so as soon as they get other options they are out.
Watching people fall for the lie that immigration is the problem is so painful. The governments failure to in any way regulate it is one of their many issues absolutley. They have managed to convince people to blame that on the careworker seeking a better life though. Or people fleeing war, blame them for the economic problems not the lie that is trickle down economics.
That's the goal. It's to get the people to look away from the billions of tax money being stolen by the government and their friends while the people are told to look at immigration

Make sure to insist on a different type of government next time you vote.
Thank you James for bringing the plight of Filipino workers to your show. We are nurses, care workers, scientists, doctors, engineers, butchers, cleaners and many more that came from the Philippines. We only want to work, we pay our taxes and live fairly. If this government and some people continue to vilify us, there are places we can move on to like US, EU countries, Canada, middle east, Australia, NZ etc. We are very resilient people and we can adapt everywhere.
I always found it profound that people from other countries look after their own elderly, but here in the UK they just chuck them into care homes and then most of the time refuse to visit them.
I spent a lot of time in hospital when my nan was sick. The other patients kept saying how lucky she was because she had family constantly coming and going to see her. I even sat down and chatted with some and asked them if they were expecting a visit and the majority said no.
If you look after your own elderly then you won’t have to employ people from abroad. Unless an elderly person has extreme complex needs that can’t be provided for in the home, or they have no family there’s no excuse for them to be in home.
How many care homes do you suppose there are in the Philippines and similar countries? I bet not as many as the UK because they look after their own family members.
It's part selfishness, but also because a 1 income family is no longer possible .
@@garyh1572you can get funding for being the primary carer of a relative in England and getting paid for it. Your society is selfish.
@@queennzinga5988 True, but the funding for being a carer is so low, people can't/won't do it.
This is the heart of the problem, it should be a duty to look after your own, care home should be for the special situation and for those who have no family
Yes Asian people have a great sense of family and care for their dependents until admittance to hospital or palliative care becomes essential.
Does this include the 'brightest and the best', the scientists, artists, business people and engineers that Brexit Britain was apparently going to attract like moths to a lightbulb? How about Tory donors from overseas, does it apply to them as well?
Yes that's right. Now the UK can set its own immigration rules it can select who it needs (and more importantly who it doesn't need). I know ow this is a difficult concept for some to understand but most countries on earth have restrictions on immigration.
@@manvbees We'll come back to difficult concepts when an Indian billionaire Tory donor and his extended family are awarded visas without any questions. Sadly we won't be able to discuss the thousands and thousands of people that have skills and talents that would benefit and enrich this country but won't even consider coming here because of the hostile environment created by the government and it's new group of self appointed 'experts' like you because there is no data relating to this, but we all know it's happening even if some of us pretend it isn't. Don't go far.
@@jasonk7072 well a self sufficient billionaire is likely to bring a lot of wealth to the country amd be virtually zero drain on public services. A jobless person hoping to work in the care industry and bring their dependants is more of a gamble....this isn't difficult
Can't believe what I'm reading.
Billionaires coming to this country are likely to extract a lot of wealth from this country.
Welcome to earth, smh 😂

My father went away to work. I won't ever support this
Did he take the family?
No one should ever be surprised by announcements by anyone widely known as Jimmy Dimly.
The hallmark of this government is the cruelty of their policies, the home office being the worst offender.
I worked in a restaurant in Bristol when I was a student. It offered set 6 course meals. Most of the food was made daily (paté and cheese mixes every couple of days). All the staff brought storage boxes to work - whatever wasn't eaten by the guests, we shared out and took home with the blessing of the management. Whatever was thrown out was collected by a farmer for his pigs. No waste at all. I worked in an Irish bar in Berlin and was given the left over baguettes + heels of ham for my dogs at the end of the evening. What has happened to people that waste food gets thrown out rather than distributed?
I agree with you but all it takes is one louse to sue on the claim he got food poisoning from eating food he was given free just after it's best before date and everything then ends up in the skip.
Nothing new here, in Hong Kong this was the situation even during British rule, there are thousands of Filipino maids in HK a large section congregate together on their only day off to find a sense of family, none were allowed to bring their dependants, yes it is appalling. Oh and the final kick in the teeth, they are not allowed permanent residency after the allotted period of seven years.
"We've made it even less desirable to come to Britain"
Err... thanks?

@evolassunglasses4673 No one should be "anti immigration". If there is a gap in your labour market then fill it with outside labour. It's very simple.
The gap is created when boomer workers become boomer pensioners.
And guess who hates immigrants?
They're cutting crime by making stuff worth nicking prohibitively expensive to buy in the first instance.
You covered that they arrive to look after Brits, but can't look after their own families.
Also, you can come here to improve my quality of life - at the expense of your quality of life. What does this say about the attitude to this kind of work & those providing the service? They hold it in contempt - it's something we have to do, not something we want to do. Care is burdensome. How can we do it on the cheap.
The sandwich thing is ridiculous. It was abandoned. The job is to clean up and remove the leftovers. She removed it all. Just because she was desperate and ate a leftover sandwich (food waste is a worse crime) she gets the boot?
Regardless of the huge financial and social costs of mass immigration the care home issue needs addressing. The care home industry needs a complete overhaul they make massive profits while paying carers a pittance it's disgusting.

Immigrants are a nett gain financially for the UK .
I agree with most of what you said, but many care homes are barely scraping by, they aren't making massive profits.
@gordonstrong5232
The large care home companies e.g. HC One are owned as money makers by investment firms and US pension funds. Whilst social care is in itself not profitable, these companies play a form of Ryanair-style Kerplunk with care. Can you survive on sandwiches and no interaction? Thanks, I'll pocket the difference.
The British government is cartoonishly evil 😂
James , the difference between you & the majority of the two to a penny politicians today is that you have something called conscience & empathy.
He's also blind.
i think the main difference is that they have some level of power and this guy has none. James is like a cult leader trying to get his rating up by apealing to any cray baby groups that he thinks he can grift on by telling them whst they want to hear.
James o'Brien has been consistent in his political & humanitarian views for as long as he appeared on media platforms & no , it is you who is blind , he could be in a much better position in his career & enjoyed bigger financial rewards had he gone with the flow & towed the line like most right wing journalists . what he has been saying all along is indicative of his logic & humanity.
In my home country, parents still leave their children to pursue a better life abroad. Those children are left with grandparents but that's no longer a Family is it? The pain of that child to grow away from their mum or dad or both! No money sent will buy what they lost! My mum left to work abroad when I was 14, my dad left three years later. Now, 20 years later we are like strangers almost. Our world is breaking up family bonds on so many levels; and time spent with young children is not a priority still. Parents should not be allowed to or have to leave their young children behind. Nor should they have to go back to work to pay expensive care fees to keep a young child in a care institution. They should be encouraged to spend more time with their own family. More flexible part time jobs for parents!
The old hate immigrants. So who do they expect to care for them in care homes?
The young have better things to do.
Like work in the economy which produces the tax to pay for elderly health and social care.
And immigrants hate other immigrants!!!
Net migration to the UK was 672,000 in 2023.
A huge number. Most of the public don't even realise how bad things actually are.

You are not alone with that feeling
A couple of points.
When i see a tory politician, i see someone who should be spending a couple of years in jail, to reflect on what they've done to the country.
And what this is ,is an admission that £38,000 is only enough money for one to live on and not a dependent. Nurses £28,000. Teachers salary £28,000.
Tory mp George Freeman quit, £120,000 "is not enough to live on."
A care-worker's salary I suspect isn't enough to support a family.
Two comments: 1) the solution to that should surely be to raise their wages, not limit their opportunities. 2) if a care worker is allowed to bring dependents I imagine it would very seldom be a single parent. They would usually bring a spouse that will be working and paying taxes (while not being allowed public funds either).
So you basically acknowledge how limited your county is, British care workers can't support their family either meaning their wage is not enough.
Absolutely correct. Scandalous! People expect other people to look after members of their own families including children, on the cheap. @@queennzinga5988

The anti immigration attitude of Tories mirrors the American Republican party's platform to a tee. Only we have it worse. "The Cruelty is the POINT" is the famous meme about the Republicans. Anytime there is a policy that is cruel to people, trust that a Republican is always behind pushing it forward.
I assume the objective of the law is to stop adult dependants? I have been wondering how a working adult can still be regarded as dependent on someone else?
Got a lovely example for you James.
I worked in a nursing home where staff were split in two groups: yellow and blue. Yellow had one weekend off,vice versa. EXCEPT overseas workers who were classed as "additional staff" and they were put nearly on every weekend
Am I wrong or was this discrimination?
Let's also note that it would be far easier to do week-on/week-off shifts or visit family on weekends and holidays between the UK and EU, where a cheap flight can get you anywhere in 2 or 3 hours. Targeting nations around the Pacific means expecting these people to come here alone and stay isolated from their relatives for months at a time and at great expense.
The rhetoric of these tories is a race to the bottom. From Braverman criticising the homeless and those who would give them cover in the form of a tent, to Boris and his "letterboxes" to Cleverly and his otherising immigrants.
It is so very shameful.
Well, they do remind you of letterboxes, don't they?! I know it's all so 'offensive', but it is something an ordinary bloke on the street would say, just comparing the two and likening them in his mind......it's no big deal. It's called "banter".
It can be confusing - I spent 30 minutes trying to get the opinion of a Muslim woman on living an Islamic life. I realised in the end, I was talking to an umbrella in a pub garden! hahaha (the old ones are the best ones!)
Again, it's called "banter". I have no urge to go and hurt any Muslim - far from it - let them do them, and I will do me. Live and let live. That is fair.

I am asking those coming to Britain - not you - whether they are ready to sacrifice everything to come to Britain which has all these things and more - like dumping sewage in rivers, seas, streams.@@Dynasty1818
Britain is the best country in the world otherwise they wouldnt come in such huge numbers Wouldthey
behind Germany and France though! oh and Turkey and Egypt just to mention a few!@@LeahMayaYasmin
Tory's need to ponder " your beliefs don't make you a better person, the way you treat people does . Keep up the excellent calling for accountability. Thank you James and LBC.
This is just one more reason these people need to be removed from power Asap.
Any EU native living in the UK is a second class citizen. You have to pay taxes, but you can’t decide what it’s spent on (no voting rights).
Why is the Government Immigration department choosing to stop the highly valued overseas nurses from bringing their family members with them when the real culprits to this problem should be tackling the never ending influx of thousands of illegal immigrates and their wives and children.
That's simple. This government turned off every legal route to come here. They caused this problem. They tell you to get mad about it so you waste your time complaining about them and not the rich parasites at the top of the system stealing all of our money.
Think of it as slight of hand, look over there not over here
No human being is illegal
@@niamhbrennan4482 Well said! People like @ronholly simply take everything the Mail etc feed to them and go with it.
We haven't got the infrastructure to take in families of the carers , we already have a 3 week wait to see the doctor .

The Brits moaning about immigration don’t work!
@minoan24 ❤
Thank you for speaking out in this James
Another nail in the tory coffin. Well done (not so) Cleverly!
What do we have to be proud of from the past 14 years?
I'm actually asking.
The lockdown which saved thousands of British lives?
After Covid my particular heath trust employed international nurses that hadn’t previously happened. It’s not a generalisation to say they are dedicated and caring and less cynical than myself and British colleagues. They supported the nursing unions where we did not. I am impressed and humbled by people who leave their home countries who strive for better lives. Many as you say are mothers and some have left their children to seek better lives for their families. I say I couldn’t do that but I have not had to consider that. To then be told that they can not invite their children/ partners after we have encouraged them to come is cruel and dishonest

Driving through most of my hometown of Birmingham makes me sad.
Unbelievable levels of decline over the past two decades.
The Tories will always want to have it both ways. We live on an island, which means we have always had new coming here, even when those people were Romans. The two main ways of populating an island are immigration or an increase in the current population. The Tories are used immigration as a weapon for decades and they are also against people getting more help from the government to make having more children easier. They cannot have it both ways. Thinking that they can exposes their views on who they think qualifies as British.
Yet if Labour said they'd kick all non-Brits out you'd cheer them.
@@Dynasty1818no, I really wouldn’t. Jingoistic Racism is Racism no matter where it comes from. I’d just finished writing in the comment that immigration is a vital part of island life, so you clearly didn’t read it before you commented. If someone comes here from wherever and they have children and raise them in this country, those children are going to be British citizens, it’s been that way for 500 years. We are all from somewhere, far enough back.
British people don’t have French and Irish surnames by accident.
@@Dynasty1818Where did Labour come from? You can start bashing them next year when they start making the decisions, not now.
@@Jonnyonthespot123 because EVERYONE is saying get rid of the Tories (agreed), but Labour are basically the only alternative. Ergo, everyone is suggesting Labour are the solution, which is ***king hysterical.
All of this 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m going to assign this monologue to my students, it cuts through the way an academic article can’t do!
So we can't house our own, have thousands of homeless, many who are veterans, no dentists, a failing NHS ( due to bad management and waste), yet we call it cruel, if overseas workers can't bring their dependents. Where would these dependents be housed, schooled ? What benefits would they get ? We've let everyone else in, don't suppose a few more would make any difference.😂
Nobody wants to see the truth, so so true, just a further drain on society, pay better wages to British workers instead of supporting foreign families
Would love to know how "The high and mighty Labour" will make things better. Please, please, please let me know 😊
Scotland and Wales get tarred with the same brush.
North gets tarred with the south..
And they have zero mandate from the people
I actually can't wait for Labour to get into power so James and his cohorts can see how much worse it actually can get. The slow realisation will be amusing to watch and James will no longer be able to blame the tories for every problem facing the country 😅
That will only be because the Tories have smashed up the country so badly that it'll take 30 years of investment to get everything back to 2010 levels!
James will always lay the blame where the blame lies.
strange how he lives in the least diverse area in London

Immigration is a problem but that has nothing to do with a cleaner eating a discarded sandwich. If I was in that situation I probably would have taken the sandwiches. If it is going in the bin anyway then it's fair game.
James. Why would people leave a war torn country (debatable) and leave their children behind? Strange that
@GH They get a foothold here..and hopefully their extended families are allowed in later...that's the plan!
@@chatham43 so it's so desperate there, they can afford to leave their kids? Or is it that a lot of them are exploiting the situation to simply create better economic conditions for themselves?
Should other countries deport their undocumented English?
Yes
YES
it's just common sense
They do!
It is not about undocumented. The question should be should other countries bar British from getting their families to live with them, when they work abroad.
Your comment is flecked with a foul tone. To be clear, any undocumented person that has entered a country illegally regardless of nationality or race must face being deported.
why would any one want to come here. It could only get worse by arresting them on arrival.
No one believes you James. From October 8th, you were asking “how much is too much”, as mothers and their children were being killed. Now you want us believe you’re speechless by this?’

45 million people left back in Ukraine should we bring them here as well posh boy would still not be happy
That would never happen , every other European country have took in many more Ukrainians than us and that includes poor countries like Moldova . The Palestinians will be the next looking for safe haven , bet that will make you happy
@@glennbateman4483 and what is wrong with staying in your own country there was already 1.5 million Ukrainians in Poland replacing the workers who left for the U.K. and Germany over the years and they are neighbours after all

Great points James. So how do you plan to solve the overpopulation crisis that means nobody can get hold of an NHS dentist, nobody can get a GP appointment and copious amounts of sewage get released into our rivers?
O'brien hasn't go a clue in is posh white area...
This coming from the guy who can't type a cohesive sentence (sorry if that word is too hard for you)
Most of us are fed up of endless immigration. Britain is very much full up.
They need to get a lot tougher. Why do we have entire Pakistani families coming here because one of their sons is a student here?
Students should get a visa only for a spouse or a child not parents or siblings.
James, you make so much sense.. how is it possible that there are so many idiots in government. And when they are challenged just try and justify the unjustifiable. Just think Rwanda….. my head hurts!
Immigration is capitalism importing an OVER SUPPLY of labour in, which is a race to the bottom particularly for the working class. Oligarchs love immigration.
Capitalism will never invest in training, robotics or increase pay and conditions if it can just fly in labour. Back in the day the Left understood this, even Bernie Sanders was anti immigration.
How about telling the whole story instead of cherry picking the bits that push your suspect agenda?
A certain amount of immigration is needed to make up the shortfall in labour that most western countries are facing. So please explain where we acquire these workers from the native pool & I also require stats to back it up.
@1inchPunchBowl they always talk about training our own, but forget someone has to do the actual training!
@@RedDevilStudioAnd that it takes years.
Mass migration to the west is caused by many factors, mostly related to capitalism but also demographic change.
We have an average age of 40 and a below replacement birth rate, without immigration growth is impossible, nevermind the work required to look after an ageing population.
Ultimately that's the choice, capitalism and the pursuit of infinite growth or a wholesale redesign of British society to something that measures success in other than just financial terms.
Are you suggesting we overthrow these capitalist regimes and replace them with something else?

How proud of yourself were you on a scale of 1 to 10 after that?
Asking someone to come and fill a vacancy it is not called open borders. But you can't expect much from a Brexiteer.
I don't see English people getting over themselves to fill in the vacancies in care homes, agriculture, cleaning, hospitality, constructions etc.
The way service staff / hospitality staff are treated is the reason no Brits take those jobs. We know how horrible we are!!
