They're coming into our country and they don't even have to register to claim benefits now

[bupcakesandcunting]

Not the words of me but of Alf Garnett my mother.

I feel that she has reached the pinnacle of twattery. AIBU to tell her to shut the fuck up with this? Honestly, it makes me so fucking angry, especially when it is punctuated with "I read it in the newspaper", like that makes it definitely true.

wayjay - thanks nomoreheels - they didn't update their information o there for AGES (I used to use it regularly) so I'd given up going, did pop back last year but their "myths" bit was a bit shit compared to what it used to be, I can see now they've improved it again

nomoreheels- no decent person could ever argue with asylum seeking. It would be to the UK's shame if we are not polilitically as a country making sure that we are not adding to any injustice there and i would include trading fairly as well, as well as allowing entry. I think that it should be included in the curiculum the difference between forms of immigration and asylum seeking. My own teenager (with SN and limited understanding) only really took an interest when the girl on X factor was due to be deported, but speaks more sense than alot of the adults on the subject.

kungfu - if that happens - which it just fucking well might do, I hope you will tell him where to go - the answer is BACK HOME! Sod Off Johnny Dep you fucking IMMIGRANT.

Immigration is a cycle. A few years ago, you could come from anywhere and apply to train to be a nurse and ypu would be guaranteed a job in the NHS or wherever. The law changed - I think in 2002/3 to that you needed to have been in the UK for at least 3 years to train.

I know loads of people who have trained to be nurses who are now going to Australia because Australia needs nurses.

No doubt Australia wuill shut doors when they have enough and UK will open doors again when the need arises.

Its a cycle of life.

Baroque, yes I saw that! He was helping out at Refugee Action in Birmingham I believe, and other related charities.

It just goes to show that once you actually get to know someone, it can change your views.

"Op: I feel nothing but pity for you - a grown woman attacking her own mother on a website open to the world. If you were my daughter I'd disown you."

I wish she would, TBH.

HAHA! Buppy, darling - you got the pity post.

Save your pity carmen for those who are too thick to see beyond the end of their own nose.

oh don't worry carmina - no need to feel pity for those of us who have "attacked" our family on here. Most of us do it with good reason and really couldn't give 2 hoots about it. I don't need pity - I've pretty much cut contact with my famil and my life is so much better.

Blood is thicker than water you numpties

This says it all for me:

and thickness is in the eye of the beholder.

If it weren't for immigration - half the English cricket team wouldnt exist!

that was it nomoreheels - I LOVED that episode seeing him change his views once he saw the facts and the reality, and how well they seemed to get on once he employed the bloke.

OliPolly - that's very true about the immigration being a cycle. Though I'm concerned about the recent decision to send back all those Zimbabweans with things as they are now

I need the pity.

Actually, I've changed my mind. I think that MN should DELETE all posts where the OP is attacking their mother/father/MIL/FIL/DH/neighbour's dog.

And I would disown bigot family members. The OP is venting about an attitude she doesn't like that is coming from her mother. I have seen much worse on MN.

"Super Mosque with a million seats being built, it will be like Wembley for Islam, only loads bigger. They are making white men on minimum wage build it and they HAVE to observe Ramadam and fast but still work on the building, whilst starving"

"Mohammed al-Fayed will be King of England by 2018"

bupcakes, those made me LOL!

HAHA OliPolly - that's very true about the cricket - lots of Zimbo's in there

Actually, my mother married and went on to reproduce with a forriner.

I suppose that Italian is the acceptable face of immigration. They can do spag' bol' and stuff. Instead of doing curry 24 hours and filling the roof with relatives.

I an EU Immigrant and proud! I claim my child benefit with impunity

I find it's usually the older generation that have this attitude, the same generation that thinks it's ok to move to the Costa del Sol to live out their retirement, not learn a single word of Spanish and use the healthcare system in Spain without having contributed a penny (or cent or peseta) their whole lives and expect to be cared for when they have an age-related illness.

bollox fucked it up \link{http://thekimchallenge.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/pity-party.jpg\pitty party}

LDNmummy

That is amazing.

I am a proud Zimbo-Brit too Baroque

Who knows if Prince Harry marries Chelsy Davy - all Zimbos will go to the wedding and serve sadza!

Sorry OP - it seems me and Baroque are now having our own conversation. I am still on your side

Who else is coming to this pity party? I hope there are no foreigners going... [wunk]
