Satire at it´s best! 

 

 

This is from a series called Not the Nine O´Clock News I think in the early 80´s (judging by the age of Rowan Atkinson! He´s in his 50´s now)

 

What made you fish this one out Vineyards? {#emotions_dlg.satisfied_nod}

What has happened before and after this satire was made:

 

There were objections on other grounds such as racial concerns, ability of immigrants to perform similarly as white workers etc. Today, there are different objections, one of the latest finds is Islamophobia. The drive is so strong, even tourists are seen as potential terrorists. What hasn´t changed over the years is the fact that foreign workers are not welcome.

 

The rich want poor man´s money but they don´t want them to see them in their streets.

Quoting vineyards

 Yes they do ... they want to see them sweeping the streets!

 

Normally immigrant workers do the low paid menial tasks that the nationals dont want to do: e.g. bin men in UK, indian builders in Dubai, and Filipino maids in Turkey.
