So why are the british so lazy?

supposedly to idle to do a days work so the immigrants do it instead.
have you considered the fact that these "lazy" people are so poorly educated that they leave school barely able to read and write. they cant spell. they cant even speak english properly. there has never been any training offered to them. there is no apprenticeships. they leave school with nothing to aim for . they have learned from their single mum that the only way forward is benefit claims and a coucil house. we can all thank the government for totally ignoring these people and leaving them to rot on the scrap heap . rather than offer help, support and incentive to work, its easier to get an immigrant in. the benefit claimants, chavs, lazy brits or whatever you want to call them are in need of help. yes there are, and always will be some that are un-helpable but with decent education there would be a lot less than there are now.

i dont say the british are lazy. i work very hard. im asking the people who say "the immigrants do the jobs that brits are too lazy to do". and im trying to point out the fact that its not true.

What a sensible statement you have just made. I work in a local junior school as a literacy volunteer and see children who will have no hope unless they are given more help when they reach school leaving age. Unfortunately some of the children come from homes where they are allowed to stay up late at night and have very little discipline. They do, however, have televisions in their bedrooms and computer games, which they are allowed to use whenever they like. Poor parenting is a major contributor to the problems young people have today but the Government need to take charge of the situation when they leave school, without sufficient skills. Our industries have been allowed to close, leaving children like these without jobs to go to. Apprenticeships are not available for them, so that they can use their practical skills and as you rightly say, the jobs are given to immigrants. We need to stop immigration and think about our own.

The way i see it is it's our government that lets the immigrants flood in and do our jobs for less money than we are willing to accept,no doubt there are lazy people in the UK but don't tar them all with the same brush...what do you do for a living and would you be willing to work for half the money if your employer told you he could get the labour for half the price...i would be willing to send all the immigrants back home so we can all get jobs that pay a wage worth having

Wow. So much hatred and bitterness. But I agree - the English working class have become lazy. Too many handouts not enough incentive to get out there and work.

people today don't want help they want to rot in their own crappy worlds of robbing,,drugs or whatever they do so personally let em rot i pay high taxes to keep them and immigrantsin money i struggle they don't seem to i might even have to sell my house soon i get no states handout but am on low wages never signed on either
