Protectionism will lead to social unrest and Political xenophobia

British jobs for British people - by virtue and in context i agree that the custodians of this land deserve absolute preference before opportunists from shores afar can be considered.The British job market has been distorted and the government job seekers allowance policy does not help the cause of those that are lobbying against foreign immigrants.And to what extent do i vehemently agree?

The creation of the European Union and an adoptation of the free market system by the British government might have exacebated the plight of it's citizens within the job market spectrum.The European union's operational guidelines advocate that ,there is freedom of movement for all citizens of member countries - including a substantial amount of former Soviet states.The influx of desperate east,west and central european immigrants is something that the British public under-estimated and never bothered to do reservations , when their political leaders were busy signing dozens of treaties.The recent apathy and boycotting by nuclear workers and their associates will not lead to an abrupt amendment of the terms and conditions of the EU.For the concession is binding - till death do us part.

The victims of circumstances are the innocent migrant workers - who work tirelessly for the good of the British economy.They sacrifice to work for a minimum wage,and some even work in atrocious conditions(dealing with human waste).

A free market system entails that there be competition,freedom to enter and exit whenever one deems it necessary - and most of all less goverment intervention.This type of market is inevitably associated with capitalism.A capitalist only makes a profit when the sum of variable and fixed costs are less than the selling price.Hence the two main objectives will be sales and profit maximisation.And that can only be attained when operational costs are relatively lesser than the price.Holding all other things constant a capitalist will be grossly disillusioned if his business was to break-even.Hence cheap labour will be the only panacea to attaining a sustainable growth in the short and long run respectively.So don't blame the Polish for working so hard for very little in return.

The government policy on job seekers allowances,incapacity benefits and other variables does not help many a British citizen.Yes there are deserving marginalised cases that should receive prime attention - but the rest are still subject for debate in my medulla oblongata.My argument as a proponent of the-fellow-citizens-of-the-world is that these benefits should be given on merit and as a matter of a privilege than a right.Many people have manipulated the system and have lived on a monthly giro for years,without being (BUVVERED) to look for any form of work.This is a generic view even though one rotten potato may spoil the whole bag.(one groundbreaking credit card fraud or lottery scum by a Nigerian citizen-has left us with no option but to be sceptical whenever we deal with any Nigerian).

As for those from the west indies,Balbados,Jamaica etc - an exemption should be in place ,for history tells us that their ancestors were used to built some of the landmark buildings and monuments in England.In other words they reserve the right to work here.

And for those of us from Africa - where wild animals are not kept in zoos but natural environment:we claim that our heritage was depleted in the name of exploration.I once studed at Prince Edward high school for my 5th form and visited a city called Salisbury ,the later day Harare and still wondered why there was so much British influence.And on studying the history of those who convened with Otto Von Bismarck(in the scramble for Africa),i soon realised that my hereditary ancestors were slaves to the British.Now i stand with pride - as a fake but proud British.Afterall my name is English.And i reserve the rights to live and work here as a fellow citizen of the world.

So lets pick ourselves up,dust ourselves and live in harmony as one.Don't let the credit crunch expose an element of xenophobia,which will ultimately lead to social unrest.
