Doesnt bother me in the least! We have an ageing population we need more immigrants....frankly anyone who has travelled long distances just to have the chance at a decently paid job has already proved they have something about them and are likely to add to benefit our society overall
Besides that whole immigration thing is a bit of a red herring in the UK. We have plenty of room and we have very few people trying to get in compared to many other countries. Frankly we can afford to be generous with our immigration policy we need them as much as they need to be here.
What does upset me rather, is the fact that those asylum seekers who came to the UK from the new accession countries a few years ago ( many of whom have been waiting for acceptance for two and three years) and who have been barred from working this whole time and therefore been forced to live on the 70% social security which is awarded them are now able to work and therefore have had all assistance withdrawn as of the day of accession. Thats it theyre on their own. One case i saw involved a Roma Gypsy woman who had fled persecution and is now losing the house she and her 5 children have been living in for the past 2 years....unless of course she can find a job and get paid and pay a months rent all in the next 3 days......Having disallowed her from working through this whole time I would have thought some backup would be given now instead of just pulling the rug from under her feet.
I detest the small minded petty attitude my country has towards the people who most need our help and understanding.
