This is my personal opinion.
If it's upsets anyone then sorry.
I to think it's disgusting that people sacrificed lives and more
To keep foreign invaders out,and look at it now.
I don't blame people from Poland,Romania,syria ,Iraq etc coming
To the UK,as most of their lives must have been terrible living conditions
For their children.the prospect of someone dangling a carrot in front
Of them,ie coming to the UK and claiming all the benefits they could,
Is I am afraid human nature.
A lot of them , single men ,rent places and live 6plus to a place ,
Earn money,split the bills and send money home to support
Their families.
The UK worker next door with his mortgage etc etc with 2.3 kids what
Chance has he got ,he is bound to get the hump.
A lot of the immigrants work for a lot less,than the UK worker needs,
So some employers have employed cheap workers ,made
More money or cut costs to compete with everyone else.
I did read somewhere ,where a small factory had made all the
UK workers redundant and taken on cheap workers for less money,
Hence the UK worker again has no chance.
As I said I don't blame the immigrants wanting a better life,
Or taking advantage of the benefit system however unjust or unfair
It would be.
I am no politician or genius,but I think the damage is done!
BUT I do blame the EU and the UK government for the mess
That the UK is in,and the blame must surely be
Placed on their shoulders.
But how they clear up the mess ,well that's another story
And a long long way off yet.
Anyway time for some zzzs
Night all

This doesn't upset me in the slightest, but you seriously cannot expect anyone to respect an opinion that is based on lies, supposition and scaremongering.   

Describing immigrants as 'invaders' that need to be got rid of is exactly the kind of language that has set off so much racist abuse against Polish children, for instance, in the UK, handing them cards saying they would be deported for heaven's sake.  There was a German woman on LBC a few days ago who was weeping with fear because her neighbours had told her that she had been 'voted out' and she had two weeks to leave, they had put dog excrement through her door.  She is in her seventies and has lived in the UK for 48 years with her British husband who had recently died.

Personally I think that people who invoke the war dead to put their opinion across are disgusting too.  My grandparents took in refugees during ww2, and they are who I learned my compassion from.  I am so ashamed to be British these days.  I am remaining here and European.
