OK but just working a few things out.
There are 112 people at the base. 20% will lose jobs so that's 22.4 people.
You say all but 18 are English, so 94 of the workers are English the rest foreign. So even if they sack 18 of the 94 english workers there will still be more english workers that foreign.
Also if 80% earn a lot less than you that probably includes quite a few of the English workers
You're making assupmtions which seem straight out of the Daily Mail.
