I was bemused by the article in the Guardian about the bad-mouthing of British workers and their lack of skills by the Chamber of Commerce.

If the truth was known, it is cheaper to get foreign workers off the peg than to train up indigenous workers.

In my opinion, there should be an import tax on these foreign workers, paid for by these employers just like there is for other foreign products.

Also I wish to destroy the myth about hard-working migrants.

As far as an employer is concerned everybody is hard working who earns £6 per hour or less. Anybody earning more than the above is some kind of lazy person.
