The Kintyre Forum

Once more Polish workers continue to arrive to work at SKYCON and are being housed on the old RAF site at Machrihanish , is this really what we want our taxpayers money spent on and what benefit is this to the local community as it seems to me its just making it harder for locals to get employment and any income the MOD is getting wont be filtered back into Campbeltown , I thinks its about time the local paper maybe informed the wider public and im sure the national press would be interested in what the MOD is upto at Machrihanish

You don't actually think the Courier would run a controvesial story do you ?

Or do any kind of investigative reporting?!

Will the Courier run a story? Wait and see................

I heard they're earning higher wages. Surely that can't be right? Or, maybe it's a rumour???

They must be polished professionals then !

Does anyone know of any of the immigrant workers having brought their families with them to the town?

Jan the Pole was the first private-hire taxi-driver in Campbeltown, in 1961, running a 2-tone blue Austin Cambridge and calling himself "Blue Taxis".

Sounds as if Campbeltown will soon be like Boston, very rare to hear a British voice around town.

Fair enough, but were local people offered the chance to try for the jobs first?

dunno

That would certainly be a first.
