Would you agree there are lazy Romanians in the UK, as well as hard working ones?
Before Valy replies, I'll add that I'm yet to see a lazy Romanian in UK and I've met thousands, running the largest portal of Romanians living in UK since 2004 Could be, I'm not saying it's impossible, but I could certainly say the number is negligible small.
By lazy Romanians I don't mean trafficked people brought here to beg or claim benefits by organised crime gangs, single mothers previously domestically abused by partners, disabled etc, but people that stay at home, go to the gym and pub quickly after visiting the JobCentre to sign, with no interest for a job whatsoever.
It's deeper than that, as an immigrant turning up in a totally different society, culture, language, traditions, heritage etc you're always desperate to catch up with the people already there, hence why always working very long hours, never decline any jobs, doesn't matter if it's constructions, cleaning, security agents, farmers etc.
As an immigrant who managed pretty well in here, starting from very low, it always puzzles and strikes me when I see Brits born here not being able to make it in life in a such awesome society where everything is available for everyone, unlike other countries: education, health system, access to funding, where you're being promoted to senior jobs for being an achiever rather than being the son of so and so (nepotism) and so on. It's probably a cultural difference, but very hard for me to understand how can someone born in this country can be homeless or jobless for 5-10 years or being part of Jeremy Kyle "generation".
I'm still learning, of course.
Oh, and by the way, thanks for allowing me to be part of such an awesome society, I'm simply in love with Britain, out or inside EU
