I am an immigrant as well - Polish so get ready for violence!!!
I need to admit that by reading all posts (not trying to be rude) you can quite easily see - who is willing to make their own opinion by doing a bit of research and who just go with the flow. In UK it is quite apparent that immigration only comes up when it is needed - financial crisis - because of banks.....but yet some immigration on the ball as well......now economy getting better...same number of immigrants or maybe even more...it all went quiet.....
Let just get closer to elections there will be so much hate from all parties to get easy votes....
Sorry but those statistics are for numpties....it is nearly showing that there are only 4000 people in prison in whole UK. You can make any statistics look as you want.
I was a contractor came here and was asked to stay, as there was no specialists who could carry on with type of work I do. I need to admit that in early days I lived on a street were only immigrants tend to go to work in the whole street 3 immigrant families, all other council, brand new cars and complaining about their life - It made me laugh when some of them would come out in pyjamas and yawn at 4pm when I was back from work.
I do live in a better area now and approach is completely different, although those people do not say "init" 10 times in one sentence - you can see were UKIP is aiming - for people that always got time to vote...
But being honest does it look right when you see Mr. Farage (maybe future prime minister ) with a fag and pint in his hand...and a bit dumb smile? Not sure he will resolve problems...surely he will try to get rid off gays, people with AIDS etc.
Obviously there are immigrants, which comes and abuse system but they are everywhere - minority will always make a bad name for majority....same with British tourists in some places they are not even able to get a room - again I have been on many holidays with my British friends (not English) and never seen them misbehaving in any way - probably I am the worst one from the group - but hey I am... how do we say "Eastern European".
