The BBC program was biased, a breach of bropadcasting standards as well, shame on you BBC. I did strawberry picking, what ever it took to get my qualifications when I was younger. At present I am a long term unemployed IT manager in Wisbech, I get up at 5.30am every morning, log onto the internet, trawl the area’s jobs at the job centre, register with agencies, visit companies to see if they have work going, apply for what few jobs there actually are, write letters, fill in boring 12 page plus application forms that take all day to fill in. Wisbech people lazy, I don’t think so!

I was recently offered training for my dream job but carn’t take it up as there is no funding for travel or all the health and safety equipment the EU beauroprats insist on me having to do the training. It could lead to a fabulous dream job outside of the grotty Wisbech area, perhaps that would mean one less capitve worker? If I want to do the trianing I have to fund all the costs out of my £60 a week jobseekers allowance, trying living on £60 a week nowadays and funding your trianing and see how you manage.

There are very few jobs for the locals, not all of us are lazy but employers choose the migrants over local people every time.

Wisbech town is very run down away from the historic bits it’s a grotty scruffy little town and living on it’s past Georgian glories, it had two railway stations once but has been cut off from the outside world since the railways left in 1969, the big cities like Cambridge are nightmare toi get to so local people are trapped and are cheap labour for the local employers. The town has hire and fire employers who think nothing of giving someone the boot if there is a financial advantage in it for them. 3 month job contracts are the norm locally.

I applied to one of the employers featured in the program, he did not even reply as seems to be the norm today, good manners and a quick polite email back seem to be a thing of the past. He later on put an article in the local rag stating Wisbech and English people did not apply that was why he employed the migrants.

Sadly the program hand picked people who weren’t keen on doing a SEASONAL job. The jobs were WRONGLY represented as permanent jobs whereas they were seasonal work. The BBC should be shot for it’s program.

There are plenty of people in Wisbech that want to work and local people do work hard, they don’t need the migrants, the area managed before they came perfectly well.
