immigration hardly room to swing a cat

[Myles Na G.]

A number of years ago there were 3 Polish lads who worked in our place. Young lads about 23 or 24. People in our work took umbrage to them, labelling them "greedy b**tards" etc. Reason? They worked 8-5 in our place and then headed to Tesco to do a 6-11 shift. Greedy b**tards indeed. 

The strange thing is the Irish have no problem (mostly) working hard abroad.

People who emigrate - not just from Ireland,but generally - tend to have a bit more initiative and energy than the average citizen, so you'll often find that they're good workers. Look at the Romanians over here. You'll see squads of them setting up car washes wherever there's a tap and a couple of feet of ground. The rest of them spend hours every day from the crack of dawn busking, begging, selling the Big Issue, etc. They might be a pain in the arse at times, but there's a work ethic there. You don't see too many of the native workshy getting out of their scratchers and standing for hours trying to sell a magazine nobody wants.

The locals don't have to do any of those things, the Romanians are not entitled to benefits.

Ten Euros for a full year. Bargain.

30 Euros for a leap year.

Yeah, send the buggers back.

Maybe he's a Tory and didn't want to give Tony a lift.

"The Evening Times asked Hampden Cabs to comment on the complaint.

Initially the company's Paul Muir insisted the incident related to what he called drunken passengers who had been at a city concert the previous day who had allegedly intimidated an elderly driver and been asked to leave the car.

However, after being told Ms McAleer was reporting an incident a day before the concert, he said he would not comment.

But before doing so he said: "I couldn't imagine four people coming over from Donegal and going to a party in Britain and not being drunk"."

He then laughed."

This is a great take on it: http://athousandflowers.net/2014/01/08/weekly-w**ker-025-hampden-cabs/
