I reckon it wouldve just from that thing about the foriegn banks, it seemed to be worded in a way to invite kickoff, but i quickly jumped in with a reality check before anyone had a chance to sound like a spacca.
About the "make money and go home" well, with all the racist morons in this country, can you blame em?
My old man came over here from Cyprus when he was I dunno, late teens, early 20s, he came over to visit an uncle in london who owned a barber shop, couldnt speak or read a word of english, and somehow got totally lost before he got to him.
No way to contact his uncle, no way of nothing really as he couldnt speak english, he spent a few month (3 or 6, i forget, maybe it was more) living on the London Underground till just by chance someone his uncle knew found him.
He taught him to cut hair, worked with him, then he moved down this way and started his own barbers, met my old dear, and the rest is history.
Worked on his own flat out 6 days a week for 25years or whatever.
Bet (tho ive never asked) hes has loadsa racism in the past, fuck, i had loads when i was young (10 or less, primary school) from people too thick to realise i wasnt whatever nationality they was saying i was.
And yeah, the above is pretty much why I see things in reality and not some blinkered bollocks like most do.
