You might never of come across this, but I have.

Racist/Xenophobic people who believe that migrant workers "come to this country and can't even speak the language".

YET.

Those judging bastards probably can't even spell, failed G.C.S.E English Language and when on the internet (or even in a real social conversation) do that STUPID text talk. They could argue that "oh its just easier".

It may be easier but its fucking lazy and disrespectful to the English language.

FUCKING BASTARDS.

I don't see what's wrong with a person coming over and living in my country, I mean as long as they're legal and they have a job and they speak sufficient English, it's fair game. I mean, if I wanted to live in Japan for a year, I would want to learn the Japanese language until I could speak it fluently, and get a work visa and get a job. *shrugs* It's common courtesy, isn't it?

I think, in a country as small as Britain which already has almost 60,000,000 people living in it, and England specifically over 50,000,000 people.

It's not spread out, nor is it particularly controlled.

Of course there is nothing wrong with immigration per se, and I have no problem with the idea of who lives where - I'm not sure who it is to say that someone cannot live where they want, land is land.

However, you should still have a right to live in a house in the country where they were born and not have that compromised by the masses of immigration and emigration that goes on. We need to change the system, to limit the amount of immigration and to change the spread of those who immigrate.

I complain about immigration. I, however, did not fail English language or use 'txt' language on the internet.

And disliking current immigration laws does not automatically make one either racist or a xenophobe.


No I think if people come to this country legally to work and contribute and pay taxes then fair enough.

And yet, I fully agree with you.
