Farage told 'British people don't turn up' for minimum wage jobs
Audience member Graham, who works in a recruitment agency, says young people in the UK don't wish to work in minimum wage jobs:
"If you sit in an office, as a recruitment agency, looking for 10-20 warehouse people, guess who turn up? It's not the British traditional nationals who turn up".
Nigel Farage said "Having this big supply of migrant labour has made the minimum wage a maximum wage for a lot of people. I go round this country and meet lots of young people around the country who want work and cannot get it".
