UK oil refinery protests spreading - hundreds walk out

See this is why the EU is bad for Britain.  I'm all for fair play across the globe, and everyone having the same importunities as the next man, but 'you have to look after your own first, before you can hope to care for others.'  You cannot fix another countries problems when you still have problems at home.  We are putting band aids on this countries problems and offering full medical support everywhere else.  If all the countries stopped bickering about who has what and who needs what and got on with sorting out their own homes then maybe we would all be in a better position to help each other in the future.  Saying foreign EU members have the same right to work here as born nationals is like saying government has sold out our families from underneath us.  Do they have the right to move in my home, eat my food, take my children's toys? No? But thats exactly whats happening, even if indirectly.  Every foreign worker we take instead of training up a born UK citizen, is keeping one more person on the unemployed list.  Where is that fare?  Do the unemployed then go to the job center with their filled in 'What have you done to find work this week' form, stating 'Nothing, all jobs taken by foreign workers'.  Well thats exactly what I will do if my husband looses his job to the recession.  And I urge every unemployed person out there to add it to their list.

At the end of the day if I had a dirty house, with lots of dirty laundry I would not open my door to guests until I had thoroughly cleaned it first.  I want to be proud of where I live, and show it off to its best.  So, what happended to the rest of Britain? Are the government so proud of our recessing country with its high unemployment, gang crime, homelessness and poor self esteem that it is so eager to open its doors to the rest of the world to see, close up?  Its about time the government remembered just who they work for, its not the EU, its us....its real family.
