The influx of cheap labour benefitted “fat cat” types and was (IMO) to the detriment of ordinary people. Expand Yeah wages have gone up...that means inflation, everything goes up in price so no fucker who gets their hands dirty for a living still doesn't get ahead. I always earned more than my Polish colleagues because I was better qualified and they were unlikely to ever get good enough English and maths to get the qualifications to get ahead of me...some did and fair play to them but not many...
