Protest over foreign labour fear
So, let me get this straight, these protesters are proposing a nationalistic "jobs for the boys" strategy? And there was me thinking we might be getting away from those sorts of antiquated views and awarding jobs on merit.
If British labour is not competitive with Foreign labour, then surely that's what needs to be addressed rather than removing the competition entirely?
Nationalism has no place in deciding job suitability, if our national work force is not cheap enough or not up to the job then that's what we should be looking to rectify.

There is the possibility that freedom of movement and labour is being used to undermine local collective bargaining agreements in order to lower working conditions under the guise of economy. My attitude to this is that just as employers and employment law has become international so should collective bargaining agreements to prevent exploitation of a workforce under increasing economic pressure.
