Repair Goes To Poland
I thought I would share this little snippet of information with you.
I returned my sons Creative Zen Vision for warranty repair as the keypad had failed after only 6 months use. So after phoning a chargable telephone number and as usual end up speaking to some ethnic in a foreign call center, I get the postal address to send it to.
The address is in the UK which I thought great it will be back in a week! It took 4 weeks to be returned, why? It has been sent from the UK to Poland for repair and then shipped directly from Poland back to the UK!!!
So not are these migrant workers taking jobs from us in the UK they are sending the work back to their own country, so their comrades can have a bit of the action.

Mass Immigration IS Worthless
The government has finally admitted that immigration is worthless in a late memo sent to the Home Office.
It undermines even further Labour's argument that mass immigration has enormous economic benefits for the UK - a claim Gordon Brown was still repeating yesterday when rejecting demands for a cap on new arrivals.
Ministers have been focusing on the so-called £6billion boost delivered to the economy each year by immigrants. But a landmark report by the authoritative Lords Economic Affairs Committee yesterday dismissed the argument as "irrelevant and misleading". The committee, which includes two ex-Chancellors and a Labour economist, said the figure gave no indication of the impact of unprecedented migration on each member of the UK population - who receive "little or no" benefit.
Now it has emerged that Home Office officials did compile a figure of the annual benefit of migration to the native population, which is also known as Gross Domestic Product Per Capita. A memo quietly passed to peers says the total is only £30 a year, or a paltry 58p a week in 2006. Read More
