To think the British youth of today is a bit lazy??

Disclaimer: sweeping generalisation so obviously not true for all. Also, basing a lot of this on my friends and what they do.

I work in the office of a factory where I regularly go down to the factory floor. We have approx 95% Eastern European workers. They work shockingly hard and some of them are my friends who I love. There's a slight issue of communication but we have translators so not a problem.

We rarely get British people through our agency and when we do I always think 'brilliant, they'll be easy to tell what's what' rather than guessing, doing strange hand gestures, calling another person off their shift or google translate.

The problem is, they're no where near as nice as our current workers (the last pair felt the need to tell me they thought my DP was my son when he pulled up one day) and they work at snails pace. And run off screaming 'yay break time' at break. They also stand back doing nothing while regulars set up the shift. Though that may be a communication issue as the regulars aren't telling them what to grab from where as they can't. Basically, they are never called back.

Looking at my Polish friends, not one is unemployed or lazy. My English friends... They either work in some fancy role and work hard or Most popped a baby out not long after school and saw it as a means of staying at home. They feel they are entitled to benefits. They talk a good talk about wanting to work but when I ask how many jobs they've applied for I get excuse after excuse.

It's all very well saying British jobs for British people but I feel like younger people don't push themselves.

For the record I'm 26

Do we have less drive than our Eastern European counterparts???

hardly a 'discussion' and it was not a'one off' i can assure you, I have heard this type of comment many times.

Nigella, how can you know what they are talking about if you clearly don't understand the language? just saying, you seem to have a problem with Poles so no point discussing it further.
All I am saying is that the three words you have quoted earlier, I have never heard used in a racist rant nor can I imagine anyone doing so.
But then I am Polish, and a woman so according to your xenophobic statement I am probably just 'bitchy'...

'xenophobic' of course i am, and lazy.
I do understand your language pretty well, sometimes i wish i did not tbh
