My neice is a single parent with three children, all looked after by the state - her and her friends were on their facebook bemoaning how the immigrants come over here and take all their benifits!!! I kid you not!! I raked them over the coals i can tell you.
Of course there are those that come over here and take the piss, but there are a good proportion of Brits that take the piss, go through life popping out kids for my tax to pay for, feign illness so they can get "on the sick" lazy bloody wastes of space.
There are plenty of people that i resent paying my tax too, someone in genuine need seeking asylum, then i don't begrudge it at all.
I do think that the immigration criteria need to be tighter. My parents toyed with the idea of emmigrating to australia, they have a points system and you have to have something to offer, preferably in high demand industries in order to be considered. That is what we need to adopt here, but I would not want to live in a country that would flatly turn down those genuinely seeking asylum.
I hate that "they take our jobs (they do the jobs that many brits dont want to do and are too fecking lazy to do)" "they take our benefits - really? Get a fucking job!"
My friend is chinese, she came here for a job, a very specific job that actually, all the applicants were from overseas. She is an excellent scienist - we were lucky to get her, and her husband. They had worked in australia and america previously - thats how it is in science, there is work all over the world - what is wrong with that? They have settled here now as they have a Son in the English school system, shock horror - he got free education!!! Oh no hang on, with their specialist jobs that were interviewed for around there world, with actually no British candidates - they pay their bloody taxes like everyone else!!!
