Would a solution to having loads of people doing "rubbish jobs" in "rubbish conditions" be to have a higher minimum hourly wage,greater legal restrictions on having inadequate working conditions, and to enforce this extremely vigorously,with very strong sanctions against employers who ignored this and exploited those who work for them?

Plenty of immigrant mini cab drivers in London with degrees and post-graduate degrees and/or working as mini cab drivers while studying for such degrees! Maybe Matthew just hasn't encountered them. It was estimated last year 26% of NHS doctors were immigrants...

Quote matt_himself at 13 May 2015 9.20pm There are approximately 700,000 people on zero hours contracts in the UK. Whilst the uncertainty of work is no doubt a concern for a proportion of this number, a proportion of this number like the flexibility the contracts offer and fit work accordingly around family, study and other career pursuits, such as internships when available. The broad brush that zero hours contracts are 'evil' isn't true. People have different lives and this needs to be respected. I wouldn't want a zero hours contract but that doesn't mean others don't. You've missed the point of a zero Hours contract. They don't offer any flexibility at all. Basically you have no fixed term work and are just waiting for the phone to call. When it does you accept any work on offer to a. Show you're willing so you get called again and b. Because you're paranoid your money is running out and you need cash to just pay for the basics. This is not flexibility. A friend of mine has to literally find child care at the last minute at times just to earn a living. She finds it incredibly tough but the promise of any income, rather than a regular income keeps her going. That she is classified as 'emoloyed' is a fcuking disgrace! I know this as a matter of fact.

This chap proves Legal's, Jamie's and Michael's view that all immigrants are socially mobile, economically aspirational and having a ball at the same!

Could you remind me precisely where I said "all immigrants" are "socially mobile, economically aspirational and having a ball at the same!(sic)"?

You are meandering through this thread and I can only think at this point it is simply to oppose me and what you perceive as small minded UKIP types.

Good dissembling and veering away from my question;I admire it

Where did I attribute characteristics to "all immigrants"? Answer;I didn't.

Laughable. You have swerved this debate and swerve questions above.

Just admit it, the only reason you are arguing your bizarre stance is because it is imply to oppose my opinion. Nothing else makes sense.
