PM stands by 'British jobs' vow


BBC NEWS Gordon Brown does not regret promising "British jobs for British workers", a No 10 spokesman has said, amid rising unrest about the use of foreign labour.

Pat McFadden, minister for employment relations, said Mr Brown had not meant UK firms would be encouraged to flout European laws on free mobility of labour when he promised "British jobs for British workers".

"What he's saying there is, I want to see the British workforce equipped for the jobs and skills of the future and that's precisely what the government is doing,"

So Gord, If you didn’t mean it why did you say it?

He didn’t say “training British workers for jobs in the future”. He didn’t say; “I meant to say “subject to EU laws””

What he actually said in 2007 was “drawing on the talents of all to create British jobs for British workers”.

Aren’t 300 jobs for skilled workers creating “British jobs”? Isn’t using British workers’ talents to fill those jobs “creating British jobs for British workers”?

Perhaps Gord’s mouth is not attached to his brain, or perhaps he is like all politicians, telling us what they think we want to hear and then doing a U-Turn when it comes back and bites them in the arse.

Come on Gord tell us what you really think.
