'Migrants are more reliable and harder working than British-born workers' according to my times rssfeed.
in these parts for people, roughly, our age it's probably true.
english young folk "oh i need a job but no one is handing me one that pays £8 an hour so i'll stay home try and skrat some money outta my dad instead"
polish young people i know "oh i need a job, so i'll look for one and wait tables, do manual labour for minimum wage if i have to"

or maybe young people in the northeast are just too lazy and stuck up to follow tebbits dads example.
