I have been keeping quiet for a while and listening and reading peoples oppinions on immigration, Including messages left on this forum in other threads and i feel its time to say something.
Firstly i am really confused by the bigots view and why people are so Anti immigration of any sort, We are multi-cultural society and have all nationalities here providing wealth and paying taxes etc, We have a greater variety of food clothing etc from this society, All benefits to the UK as a whole.
OK we hear the stories of people living here getting a council flat and money etc but we have our own “Bad Apples” that also do this both are equally as bad but nothing is said about the Brits who beg from the state when they could be working, Or those who beg off the state and are working.
My girlfriend and intended wife is from Belarus she speaks four languages and is a English teacher in Belarus, When she moves to the UK she will be a asset with such skills but in some peoples eyes she would not be welcome in Britain as she is a immigrant to this country.
I love Lena deeply and the fact that she is not a UK citizen has never bothered me why does it so bother others?.
Why the scaremongering over Immigration in the Elections? Its racism by stealth in my view.
