Our country

[Blackbaronfish]

Should we be labelled as being racist just because we feel there are too many foreigners settling here. No doctors appointments for two weeks,the same for the dentist...when is there too many?

In my Opinion, no. Racist views are based on a fear of other races. the scenario you describe is based on your belief of how your country is heading, or where it is in your own perception.

I think there is a massive rise in racism, simply because so many people see our country, our services and our way of life being disrupted and changed beyond repair. Small numbers were tolerated and accepted, even welcomed but the current situation is out of control.

No...the local primary school local too me has 13 different languages too deal with on a daily basis..
A family friend who is a primary school teacher has told us that she spends so much time teaching immigrant children basic english/maths that the british children are 12/18 months behind going into comprehensive school.

Did anyone watch the programe in the week when i think it was 16 immigrants in the back of a lorry were caught and may be suffering carbon minoxide poisoning all taken too a&e and were dealt with straight away now im not saying we should leave them die on the side of the road but there is 16 people sitting in a&e for hour after hour forced too wait a few more hours again
Lets leave the eu and not make it so inviting for them over here.
Sort out who is in genuine need for asylum and those who are coming here too ride the gravy train because every news item i watch when they speak too people claiming asylum all say they cant go home because theyre lives would be in danger surely they cant all be escaping a death sentence.

its amazing when you see pictures of them in dingy's, sitting there talking on their phones, smoking, and chatting among themselves. then as soon as they realise they're on camera, they start screaming, crying, and paddling desperately with their hands, even though the front of the dingy is ashore and red cross type people are helping them get off we're being had

I've been to several parts of Africa and frankly everybody is either bone idle or trying to breed with everything in sight. You arrange to be picked up at 09.00 for a days touring or work and the driver turns up at 14.00 with barely a shrug.
Why are we supplying aid for food and water? Because the men can't be bothered to work a field or dig a well like we did hundreds of years ago.
It makes my blood boil.

I know a good few people have to claim benefits through genuine illness or a disability, but he sooner we sort out our own scroungers the sooner we can deny money to all comers.

No, it is definitely not racism. Racism is about being prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race. The issue in this Country at the current time is quite clear: we do not have the money in Public 'coffers' that we had 20 years ago. Public services are being cut in all areas because as a country, we have massive debt and are in all senses 'broke'. Hospitals, GP surgeries, schools etc are caving in under the pressures of trying to provide services whilst having to to so with shrinking budgets. At such a desperate time, our Country is also buckling under the pressures associated with the mass immigration that we have seen over the past 15 years - much of it illegal. Our once great Country has become a draw to many hundreds of thousands of economical migrants who wish arrive here with the sole intention of dipping their hands into our benefits system, a pot into which they have paid nothing and never will.

That being said, one must be balanced on this issue. Many thousands of migrants into our Country have made huge contributions to both our economy and our society. Many serve our country as Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Social Workers ad carers. I have spent 30 years serving my Country and have had the honour of working with many fine foreign nationals whose character and dedication to this Country would put many UK born nationals to shame.

It is however, well past the time to put in place a formal system to limit the economic migrants coming into our Country, a limit that should be based on a system similar to that use elsewhere in the World, whereby if you do not have a skill needed here, do not have gameful employment to come to and do not or cannot pay your own way (including the costs of healthcare), you should not be permitted entry into the UK.
