Bad luck DW, I took my chances and parted with my hardearned, sweated my IRT, then trod water for 18 months waiting for my chance to play with the big boys. Red passport or no I've paid my dues over here and don't take kindly to folk suggesting that someone else deserves my job more than me just because I was born on the wrong side of the equator.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if HM Home Office says that 'foreigners' like me can work here then we have the same employment rights as you 'local types' - that's the law. If you don't like it then go join the BNP...
