At the higher level yes?
But at the core level no. Not many Brit plumbers, nurses etc going abroad.
Poor language, literacy skills at school, combined with a prizes for all attitude to degrees.

Define "higher level". Do you mean just "middle class" or "professional class"? If so, you'll find plenty of builders, engineers and mechanics (all from "working class" backgrounds) working hard in EU countries and, yes, bothering to learn the language and educate themselves about other cultures. And British nurses are going abroad all the time, not just to the EU, to work and train others (notably in developing countries) in modern medical and surgical techniques. And no, not always under the employment of the NHS, but recruited by medical agencies and health services throughout the world.
And is that where you buy those massive chips for your shoulder?

Nonsense. The beach on Ibiza was full of the f**kers last time I was there.
Quote: Tim Walker @ October 31 2009, 12:37 PM BSTWell it occurs to me that certain people like to argue political and social theory as a substitute for addressing the reality of the world. As though a theory is enough to win the argument, without the need to offer any practical solutions. There's two very good places for people who can comfortably spout political theory, safe in the knowledge that they will never actually have to be judged on practical policy, the Liberal Democrats and the Socialist Workers Party.

Who the f**k's Joel?? Is the name used in a context like, 'Hello Joel, Got A New Motor'?

No the BNP usually gives those out for free, along with blinkers and one way glasses so you only get one view.
Dear God are you jut digging up awful puns? Are you some sort of Pundamentalist?

I think he had some hits with Breaking Glass and the Ballad of the Angry Young Man.

Good point, Deidre.
And why do you abbreviate your name?
