This current society seems to be rife with untruths about immigration. I would like to just point out the truth as I know it. People continue to tell me that illegal immigrants are here taking our benefits, jobs and homes. I worked in the communities for years. This is such a common misconception. Illegal means they get no benefits, no assistance and no housing. Illegal immigrants are basically slaves to drug and protetution gangs on the whole. Corrupt businessmen from their home countries and here import them as slave labour. They may be promised good conditions but they do not get them. An illegal immigrant has to hid from the government and if found are put in a specifically designed holding prison until deportation. I think you may be thinking of refugees, they can claim asylum, they have no recourse to public funds, and again are held in the secure centres until a decision is made. They then will be housed in rented not council accommodation, which usually is the cheapest of slums, they get food vouchers for one particular shop in the local area. Do not believe the sun, mail, times, express or any of the establishment media. I know the truth because I worked with families trying to seek asylum with kids. These people that get to remain have fled real war, torture, death and famine. They are human beings that need support, and most are stateless because we or our allies destroyed their homes. It’s that simple. And on today especially we should be remembering all those who suffer or suffered through war.
The other comments are all ________ whichever religion, race, nationality or culture, sometimes even gender, sexuality or ability…… are….. Crooks, violent, abusers, thieves the list goes on no agreed some will be all of these, but so will some folk that are just like you. No one group can be tarred with the behaviour of individuals, even those of extremists, we have extremists in every faction in Britain and throughout the world. Our prisons hold white, British male paedophiles, murderers, rapists, thieves, even yes terrorists.
So think on before you allow hate an bigotry to rule your life, to control your actions, do influence your rational.
Sorry if this upsets you but its the simple truth.
Well said Jonesy. Too bloody right !
