It's windy here today. I blame the immigrants!?
Come on all you Daily Mail, The Sun, The Express readers, what other crappy things can you think of that's happened to us Brits that we can blame on 'the foreigners'?
I'm sorry but I'm getting sick of all the narrow minded ignorants who blame the immigrants for everything that has gone to crap in the UK.
Samantha M: Please read everything I have written. I'm being sarcastic. :)
I'm loving all these fearful replies...OMG they're taking over!
Stealing jobs? Look at all the recruitment centres, job lists in the local newspapers...they looked pretty packed with vacancies if you ask me!
Hospital Beds? How about all the Brits who fill them up every day of the week because of alcohol related injuries. I guess we can't blame that one on the Muslims, they don't drink!
Death toll of Brits killed in July 7th bombings: 37. (I in no way condone this for the record before people jump on their hight horse).
Number of Harold Shipman victims: 215. Oh he was a white Brit BTW.
Rob C: People like me? Wow!
Well, I originally come from Manchester which has a good mix of different races. I fortunately went to a school with a very multicultural mix of kids where I learned that whatever skin colour or whatever country your from, it doesn't indicate what type of person your are. I've also had the pleasure of working with a colleague originally from Bangledesh and have socialised with them and their families and you know what? They all work, they have adapted very well into British society but along the way they have faced ignorants who have judged them by their accent and skin colour. This is just one case and I have many many friends with different beliefs from different countries.
Mick B: "seen your childs education held up because of language problems".
Your blaming immigrants because your child has language problems? I don't follow.
Yep been on a waiting list to see a specialist about a knee problem. He had an Eastern European surname.
Seen many "foreign" looking people walking through a predominantly white council estate at night? I wouldn't go walking through my local council estate during the day let alone at night and they're Brits just like me!
The world be an easier place to live if we could say all white people are good/bad all black people are gun-toting gangsters, all Asians are this and that etc, but this is not the case and you're a fearful fool to believe otherwise.
To English Till I Die:
Learn to string a sentence together correctly in English first rather than putting us to shame with your awful blurb. I know plenty of Polish people who can speak and write far better than you my friend!
Trish: I think you'll find it's "tw@ts" rather than "tw@s"
What IS happening here then? Rather than just throwing insults, try using facts or something of some substance...OK sweetie?
Redmonk:
It may surprise you that I know what reverse racism is! But I disagree with your opinion as I'm not giving preferential treatment towards people just because of their religion or race, I'm merely questioning why they seem to be blamed for everything that is wrong in the UK. And I don't really think absorbing what The Sun or Daily Mail should be classed as quality reading material.
Miraculously, don't you find it weird that I "cannot read" but have the ability to write?!
Thanks Joel W for making my scroll bar even tinier! All that copying and pasting phew! It may have saved you some time if you read all of what I wrote?
..."who blame the immigrants for everything that has gone to crap in the UK".
Lady Moon:
They are valid points! But who should you really be blaming? The immigrants or the government and local councils? Immigrants cannot dictate to the government what actions it should take.
Bob B:
Wow, yet more insults so now apparently I'm an ***?!
I still believe it is narrow minded to believe immigrants are a bunch of murdering sub-humans who go around blowing up tubes.
My reference to Harold Shipman was that no one would consider believing all white male Dr's are serial killers would you because there's no logic there and it's absurd. Yet you're tarring every immigrant with the same brush as the small group of evil, brainwashed murderers. You're welcome to believe everyone without a British accent and white skin to be murdering lunatics if you wish. I choose not to.

Windy weather? Other things to blame on the immigrants? Well, nothing makes me laugh as much as some of the things that the good old Daily Mail and Sun readers come up with on immigrants. Such as:
"Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims"
That is such sophistry, that'll I give you a minute to decode it!
or
"Enoch was right". Too true, too true. I have to wear wellies everywhere now for all the streets running with blood!
or
"Soon, we will all be praying to Mecca". Yawn.
or even
"We can't even say, 'Christmas', anymore in case someone gets offended.
And there is course all the usual nonsense statements in which, "pc" gets blamed for everything from the abolition of the golliwog, the prohibition of the term 'black bag' to the prohibition of children singing, "Baa Baa Black Sheep", to (heaven forfend) the, "banning" of a pancake race. Never mind that no evidence for any of the above is ever provided or that the organisers backed out because they were too cheap to have a few health and safety assessments done and to pay a few St John's Ambulance staff to be in attendance; you know the kind of thing which every football team in the country is obliged to see to before they open their gates to paying customers.
Not only are all these characters narrow-minded, but their sore losers, blocking everyone who proves them wrong or beats them in a straight argument, Pitiful.

you sound like another worthless mex!! like you said, it is the poorest mexicans that come up hear and undercut the people that are native to the aria, in this state it is blue berries to rake, I would rake in a field less than 5 miles from the hospital that I was born in, I would use the money pay for all my school cloths, (otherwise my parents would have to take us shopping at the thrift shop) get a new back pack, a pair of new shoes for school, and if I worked hard enough I would have enough after that to go to the state fair a couple of times, then the price per bushel went down, a dollar, each year, for 3years!!!!!!! and all because the people that were raking were selling drugs to the high school kids. (if I wanted to make it up I would have said breaking in to the local stores and killing people in the process) I say we forget deer hunting and start a migrant hunting season!!!!

No you can't blame them for the wind.
You could blame the state of the job market, lack of social housing, schools and NHS under stress and increased crime rates in some areas on the fact that a large number of immigrants have moved into an area which maybe wasn't very well resourced for the "natives" to begin with.
I come from a very poor, working class Welsh background and I have seen this first hand. I am not "racist" but I am angry to see local homeless families being left in B&Bs while Asylum Seekers are housed in social housing (this does happen with great frequency in the area where I live), or local kids struggling to find decent paid work because the Government is importing labour to save on the cost of training its own people. Its our Govermnments' fault as much as anyone else's. They are letting too many people into a country with finite resources and in some of the poorer areas of the UK the extra "competition" and rise in population is causing problems. I guess you wouldn't be interested in that however.
Incidentally, The Sun is toilet paper, the Mail is gutter trash, only fit to be read by the Blue-Rinse Brigade and I have never read the Express in my life. Thank you for stereotyping everyone who does not agree with you. You are doing just what the racists do.
And note, I did not mention the immigrants' RACES in my answer, ergo, my answer is not "racist" before you throw out that old chestnut.

Thank god that someone here has some sense on this matter. I just answered another question and I was appalled by what people were blatantly making up. They don't even know what they're talking about and don't even take the time to look at the other side of the argument. Yes there are some illegal and legal immigrants who enter our country and live of benefits, but there's even more native-Britons doing this. You can't say "ohhhh all the immigrants are taking my jobs" and "them immigrants is taking all my munnies with dem der benefits!". Immigrants work for less and longer hours so personally they deserve said jobs, unless you are willing to work for the same as them, to the same standard, I think it's pretty fair. And anyways, they're taking the jobs that Britons don't want to do, so what's the problem? As for living off benefits? They can't work and get benefits now can they? So choose one. And also, they don't all live off benefits, only a very small percentage do. Immigrants have actually added a 3.1% increase to the UK's GDP i.e. economy, so get your bloody facts straight before you tell the government to "send them back where they came from!". If you can't find work, then I can only suggest that you get off your **** and get down the job centre or stick in at your education and get qualified for your desired career instead of blaming all your problems on foreign people. Don't claim your hamster died because a Polish man looked at it :)

Oh dear, another idealistic liberal. many people in the uk are outright racist scum who have never even left the dump town they live in, but many people are also dangerous idealistic liberals that are to scared of what other people think to actually form a proper opinion. I have travelled extenisivley and seen what mass immigration from economically less developed countries is doing to other nations. Please stop being so idealistic and realise most immigration is fueled by the 'if i go here i can get more' attitude. (this includes the english speaking immigrants also)
- trishLv 51 decade ago
You are typical of all the "its not happening here" tw@s When you wake up to the facts it will be too late.
Funny that - I thought @ was a symbal for at! as for facts you can find plenty of them - just look at some of the questions and answers from various people on here better still visit some of the inner city ghettos that are now in existence. Even you must be able to see how overloaded our prisons are with all the extra crims we have to deal with and what about housing shortages and the NHS. You my dear if you are an indigenous are suffering from a bad case of reverse racism
BTW PG your grammar is not improving!

It's windy where you are, but lovely and sunny here. I blame the immigrants for that. I also blame them for making sure that we have enough qualified staff in my local hospital. I also blame them for contributing to our taxes too! How very dare they! I blame immigrants over the years for our diverse langauge, our introduction to curry, etc
- Anonymous1 decade ago

I take it you've never had to be on a waiting list behind one who has never paid in, or seen the value of your property drop by 50% when they move in next door, walked through one of their no go ghettoes at night, seen your childs education held up because of language problems, or thought about how much tax you may pay to subsidise their welfare claims etc. You are eminantly Qualified to beome a member of this Labour gov't you have the same thoughts as them. You sound like one of these do gooders who does no good at all

I think you have it wrong, most real British who are against mass immigration do not "blame the immigrants", even for the massive increase in crime now shown to be brought into the UK by immigrants.
No, we blame the government (or lack of it) for forced multiculturalism and mass immigration of millions of people from the poorest parts of the world. We also blame the government for lying to us saying mass immigration brings "economic benefits". Economists have shown this to be false (Google migration watch)
This would never have been allowed if we real British had been asked first
