*Does my head in when people equate everything back to migrants and refugees.
It's as if life in the UK didn't exist before all this latest imbroglio.
The comical thing about it is that many of the people that rattle on about it could then, in the next sentence, tell you stories of their pals/relatives etc being frugal over the years.
But noooooo - all to be ignored now - its all the refugees fault, innit?
Used to be the workshy's fault -
Or the Pakis -
Or the West Indians -
Or the Irish -
The effin Tallies -
Or the....................................................
Insert whatever excuse you want to make.
As usual left to muggins here to answer, no worries I will have some of the above.
I dont believe any of the above have ever called for their own "special courts", practice FGM, honour killings or partake in arranged marriages.
Are you talking about immigrants or refugess.
I dont think anyone is saying immigration isnt good for the UK or its economy, personally I have no problem with importing Pinoy nurses, African doctors or Arabic dentists.
From my own point of view the UK should introduce an Australian style points system, bring in what we need, based on our needs.
I dont see why we in the UK should pick up the collateral damage for failed American Middle East policies or Saudi proxy sectarian wars.
Our borders are exactly that, our borders, I dont want to be dictated to by faceless unelected prix in Brussels because Herr merkel got it wrong by sending the wrong signals.
As for work shy, we have enough of our own, why should we import more?
Pakis, ah yes Idi saw right through them, why the effin heck did we pick up the tab?
West Indians, I do believe we invited them, they werent stuck in Calias trying to board trains.
Irish, wont get into that one.
Tallies, bit like the Germans, I believe they were prisoners of war who chose to stay in the UK rather than go back home, both of them have contributed to the UK.
No excuse to be inserted, all the above came and adapted, they didnt ask for special schools, they didnt say Merry Christmas cards offend them, they never asked for Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays cards to be issued, why he heck do I still see Eid Mubarak cards on sale, they offend me.
The Chinese, the Indians etc etc, they just get on with it, no fuss.
Travel broadens the mind, I love living here in Thailand, neither my mrs nor family are subjected to this new age facism, neither are we expected to pay taxes for parasites who contribute nothing.
After spending the last 25 years as an expat, it now dawns on me, just what mugs people in the Uk are taken for.
Gawd bless Nigel Farange, gawd bless UKIP.
