We hear all about these foreigners who come in to claim our benefits, take our jobs, change our laws, steal our children's tears from sensationalist journalism pumped out by the likes of the Daily Mail. But nobody knows these people, do they actually exist? The only foreign people I know are hard working people and work harder than a lot of native Brits, it's our own people who take advantage of welfare state they have never paid into, help themselves to a free council house for their multitude of children they can't afford, abuse the health service with self-inflicted illnesses caused by smoking and obesity. We shouldn't go around throwing stones at the foreigners if we live in a big glass house. We do exactly the same in the middle east, move out for a few years, rake in the money and go home. We are living in an increasingly globalised society and Farage wants to close us down so we can't see beyond the end of our snooty noses. We don't stand a chance in the big wide world if he gets his way.
We feel it's fine to moan about 'Oh, they come in here, forcing their laws on us' but it's fine for the white people to turn up in the middle east, built hotels and started selling alcohol in countries where it is illegal? . We've stomped over the world removing governments in the name of democracy because our system is 'best'. We have a long history of crusades, raping and pillaging, but that was fine, that was a long time ago.
UKIP want Britain and British jobs for the British, but who are the Brits? What arbitrary point in time do we pick? Are fresh immigrants allowed to use the NHS? What about second generation foreigners who have been here >10 years? Do we send back the Italians who settled after the war? No, we'll keep them, I like bolognaise. What about the Indians from the 60s? Do we take it right back and all dark haired people can go back to Rome, all blonde people can go back to Scandinavia and all we are left with are genuine ginger celts? Do we have all the Australians and Americans back?
