"Foreigners coming over & taking our jobs & they are not even working".
It is a Newsnight experiment.
They take 12 people that have been claiming that they our taking our jobs, and give them a trial to see how they do.
Four of them are given jobs in an Indian restaurant.
On day one three of them fail to turn up.
The one that turns up is in his twenties, but cant knot a tie.
Overall it doesn't go that well.
b) The farmer said , without the immigrant workforce the business couldn't operate because a lot of the young people weren't interested in doing the work . .....leads me on to a couple of points ...How did they operate as a business before the influx of immigration ? And if young unemployed people aren't prepared to do the work , they should be forced to or get no unemployment benefit.
c) These migrant workers are no doubt in a lot of cases being exploited by these work gangs , they often are forced into living in sub standard accomodation ( seen an example of this first hand ) , work excessively long hours and have money taken out of their meagre wage packets for a range of " extras" .
Are we really happy to accept workforces being exploited ?
d) Who can seriously argue against controlled immigration ?
The immigrants picking the asparagus had a completely different work ethic.
Whereas the reporter pointed out that the facts don't back up his claim.
I think that if you watched the second video which was done in 2010, it would give you a better idea.
If the farmer had to accept the only workers he could get, he would have to make do with them. When given a choice, he will choose those workers that are best for his business.
EU migrants make a valuable contribution to our country.
There has been talk of making people work for their benefits for years, but never happens.
People who are claiming benefits should have some responsibility.
On the second video, the youngster picking the asparagus was incapable, or just didn't care about doing the job properly.
In the Indian restaurant 3 out of 4 didn't even turn up. The one that did, couldn't knot a tie, didn't last very long, and resigned. Yet the Indian fella treated him much better than I would have.
Only 2 out of 3 turned up at the potato factory.
Yet they all moaned about the immigrants taking their jobs.
Although one aspect was at the end of the trial, I think that at least some of them had changed their minds about the immigrants.
If they are being exploited then it is up to our Government to put a stop to it.
There were controls available on Freedom of Movement, and we didn't use them.
However illegal immigration is a completely different problem, which requires different solutions.

While England Whose England goes back to the early 70s, and the views which were once directed at black people, are now directed at EU migrants as well.
“The bottom line, which may surprise many people, is that EU immigration has not harmed the pay, jobs or public services enjoyed by Britons"
EU immigration to the UK has not harmed British peoples’ access to jobs, public services or incomes, a major study has concluded.
The report, by the London School of Economics, has dispelled a number of ‘myths’ or misconceptions about the impact of immigration on the UK. It has been published as part of a series of research publications to be released between now and the EU referendum on 23 June.
Key findings have included that wage variations for British workers have little correlation to immigration rates and are instead primarily linked to overriding economic factors such as the global economic crisis. The report’s authors also state that rather than being a burden on resources, immigrants pay more in taxes than they use in public services and play a vital role in reducing the budget deficit.
Report author Jonathan Wadsworth said: “The bottom line, which may surprise many people, is that EU immigration has not harmed the pay, jobs or public services enjoyed by Britons. EU immigrants pay more in taxes than they use in public services and therefore they help to reduce the budget deficit.
“So, far from being a necessary evil that we pay to get access to the greater trade and foreign investment generated by the EU single market, immigration is at worse neutral and at best, another economic benefit.”

For six years, Theresa May was in charge of the Home Office responsible for immigration, yet did nothing to adopt these conditions. One wonders why not and why immigration was allowed to dominate the referendum and is still being paraded as a big problem. Yet another failure of our own government and the Home Office under Theresa May is being blamed on the EU. The remedy was always in the UK’s hands.
