My family and I went to France. We were there as immigrants. For a time, until dh found a job, we did apply for benefits. We received housing benefit and child support. This continued even after dh got a job as we were low income.
We slowly learnt the language. dd went to the local school and ds to the nursery whilst I worked. We made many many friends and in all our 2 years there, I only ever met one person who was nasty to me. A bus driver. Typical!
Yet there was one place in France, a place called Riberac that I wouldn't visit again in a hurry. It's been taken over more or less, by the English. They even have an English Only bar. Even where we were, there was an English group who didn't allow French people to join and who refused to speak French.
You could say that the French would be justified in giving any other English settler a hard time. But they didn't. We were welcomed with open arms, they couldn't have been any friendlier!
It makes me ashamed to see the way we, as a nation, treat people. We don't like them coming into our country, yet we think nothing of invading theirs, either with bombs or with hordes of 'Rosbif'. It's pure hypocrisy!
NFN - how would your dh feel if he were targeted because of his ethnicity? If he was abused in the street? Beaten up? How would he feel if, after he had settled down here with a job, paid his taxes, got his children into local schools, the government told him to piss off back to his "own" country?
I take it you never did economics. Because if you did you'd realise that if the BNP paid people to move back to their own countries they would make this country bankrupt.
It's not a credible solution. You must be very very simple to believe that crap they spout on their website. What a sucker you must be to not even think about the possibility that they make up these unworkable policies to make themselves seem reasonable, when in practice they know they are unworkable and would actually support a Nazi style regime that forced many families, born here or otherwise, out of their homes.
It would be like another Zimbabwe, forcing farmers out of their farms because they were white. Did you support that too?
