So does your theory work the other way?

If so VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

the quote is a bizzare and stupid one, british people do get jobs in britan, i mean, its a fact, brits work in britan!

unless your suggesting we should only give jobs in britan to british people, in which case, that is BNP policy, not a policy that any mainstream political party.

the next UK general election has to be before June next year if i remember correctly, having it earlier would be stupid on Labour's part, there way behind in the poll's at the moment, Brown is staying to as late as possible, because he hopes that the ecenomy will start to recover, if that happens, there is a chance Labour's poll ratings will go up.

No, i think in the context of when he said it he was meaning that British people would get jobs ahead of other people in Britian. That was if they were of equal ability though ovcourse.

And anyway, it was a promise Gordon Brown made to the people of Britain. He obviously hasnt fullfileld that promise.

Ill find a link

the BNP has 2 MEP's in the EU Parliment, not the UK government.

Gordon Brown made an illegal pledge.

He said he wanted to make sure British people filled job vacancies. This is illegal under the European Union.



Gordon Brown does not regret promising "British jobs for British workers", a No 10 spokesman has said, amid rising unrest about the use of foreign labour.

The PM's pledge, at the 2007 Labour conference, was attacked by critics as unwise and even illegal as European law opens UK jobs to all EU nationals.

The slogan is now being used by protesters at refineries across the UK, angry at a plant using Italian workers.

No 10 said it was working hard to help British people fill job vacancies.

I mean, talk about completly ignoring promises based on the refinery where they happened to only emply 43 italians and 0 Brtish people.

He should have made a promise if it was illegal. Yes you can choose a British worker over a non EU citizen based on nationality, that is legal but not someone who holds a EU passport.

you mean discrimination?

how is that much better?

the current system is good, at the moment, people get employeed based upon there ability to do that job.

there was even a recent report that concluded that there was no discrimination in favour of foreign workers

I understand that, i dont think discrimination in any form is correct but why is Gordon Brown making promises to the people of Britain that he knowes he isnt/cant fullfill.

Seems like lies to me. O wait hes a politician, they are all liiers

he made the promise because he thought that it would be popular with voters and the media and because he clearly didnt know about the EU laws, yes, it was a stupid lie. as for all politicians being liars, thats a though one, many may well be, but i sincerly doubt they all are, i mean, theyre are 650 MP's, they cant all be liars surely? lol

Wouldnt bet agaisnt it, its part of the job description.
