So the plan is to move everyone from the North to the South?
So the entire population of the country can live in an area less than half the size of the country?

If the situation is as bad as this "think tank" suggests, then the solution they propose is nothing short of internal immigration

There are those in the country who have a problem with immigration as it is without us "emmergrating" to our own country

.
What would the result of this be?
The southerners living in the south, sharing the south with foreign immigrants, and now sharing the south with the northerners.
And this will make things better how exactly?
Land up north will be cheaper because there is nobody there, but the price of land in the south will sky rocket.
Property prices in London are already laughable, but if a mass migration like this was to occur then only the very wealthy would be able to afford to buy their own homes.

A much smaller country with far more people.
I think this think tank has a few leaks

Companies being forced to employ foreigners is a load of bollocks

Companies employ foreign labor for one of two reasons, because they can screw the system by paying them less than minimum wage, or so they can work harder.

You might wonder what I mean by work people harder.
Let me clarify.
Whereas British workers are more inclined to slack, right or wrong, his Polish (for example) counterpart is a much more valued company asset.
The British worker may be happy to send private e mails from work, even read a forum (hello to all you skivving ba$^ards reading this from work

).
The British worker might be happy to take as many loo breaks as wanted during the working day.
The British worker might be happy to go outside and have a fag.
To linger over dinner and get back to work 5 mins late.

Now let's look at our immigrant friend who knows his worth is only what he gets done in a day and that he can be replaced very easily and with as much regret as the manager blowing his nose.
If at a computer, it's work related.
Need a pee? hold it in.
Back late from lunch? not when he's back half an hour early from lunch every day.
Want a ciggie? Save it for the pub after work, oh hang on....

Just quit instead then.

Companies employ immigrants because they are harder workers for cheaper money (sort of legalised slaves) nothing else, so claiming it's because of the north doesn't make a great deal of sense

Especially when there are firms here in the north doing exactly the same thing.Might account for some of that 26% unemployment huh

You might argue that this being the case that the British worker is at fault and deserves to lose their jobs for being lazy and not working as hard, but who among us has never swung the lead instead of giving 110% every moment?

The British worker may be lazier than his counterpart, but we have worked damn hard so we would never be slaves, and we have never worked as slaves either.
