I'd also like to add that its partly our own fault that we are so unable to take advantage of freedom of movement. When modern languages were taken off compulsary curriculums, we lost any opportunity to take advantage of any sort of globalised unions or economies.

Eh? We don't particularly need to move, there is hardly a country in Europe that does not have an unemployment problem

That's not the point though is it. For one, "need" is subjective, but secondly we barely have the option, and option is a good thing. If we weren't so poor at speaking other languages, we would have the opportunity to work and live where we please.

Fact is, if an English speaking German is better than an English candidate for a job here, he gets it. The same could be said of English people in Germany, but they speak English, we don't speak German.

If you were offered a job in Spain for more money.

Would you?

a/ Not go because unemployment in Spain is 27%

b/ Not go because you disagree with immigration

c/ Go and fuck it because i can earn myself a better life

It's not really a big issue though is it, most people would not even consider working abroad, most British people chose to work Australia the US and Canada if they do move

An excellent point.

Europe speaks English better than we do

It's true. I work with a guy who speaks five languages fluently, has worked in Spain, Italy, France, the UK and Germany in the past three years and is just about to start work in Japan to help him improve his Japanese. He's aboit to celebrate his 27th birthday.

But we aren't even giving ourselves the option. Would immigration be as contentious if people knew they could move to Milan for work, and speak the language?

Even if it would be, doesn't it make more sense to try and be a part of a growing phenomenon than not? Globalisation is making the world so much smaller. It has contributed a great deal to the increases in migration globally, and yet we are refusing to move with the times.

Europeans move to English speaking countries too according to the right wing nutjobs on here.

How is that different? Despite the fact most Romainans and Bulgarians who would like to travel to work chose Germany and Italy as favoured destinations due to long standing cultural links.

Or are the right wing nutjobs being elitist about who we can and cant have whilst our own still bestride the world like our imperialistic forefathers.

And you didnt answer my question about what you would do.
