Difference is though, they come here with no skills and are perfectly willing to mop floors for the rest of their lives, when brits tend to emigrate, its a big decision that involves alot of planning, and most importantly involves taking a skill or trade to the country of choice so they can put them selves in a good position to earn decent money.
I wouldnt consider emigrating without a trade or skill for 2 seconds, not to mention the fact the most popular countries (Oz, NZ etc) REQUIRE you to be skilled, or at least pass a point scoring system, or have relatives already settled there.
Over here its a case of if you've got 2 arms and 2 legs you're in, heres a mop, heres £5.50 an hour, get cracking
How can the average man compete with that, is it our fault that our culture is not to live 15 to a house? so what if thats what they do, its our fucking country, we shouldnt have to change our culture to allow non nationals the right to live here, they should adapt to our culture! I wouldnt be so ignorant to emigrate, not learn the language and generally not involve myself with said countries traditions/culture, I might aswell stay here!
This post is going round in circles, I've had enough trying to explain your average working class blokes perspective on the situation, it seems if you're anything other than working class, the current state of immigration isnt an issue, as you dont mix with lazy, uneducated riff raff so it doesnt affect you what what
