Quote: "I'm convinced such stuff is brought about by people who have an intrest in there being tension between the communities."
A local Landlord sent in a request to stay open as long as he did on St. Patricks day on St. Georges day and was denied.
The reason is that only St. Patricks and Chinese New Years, are seen as valid holidays.
It is illegal to have any business open after 4pm on a Sunday, unless you can find a legal presidence that you should be exempt from the Christian/Jewish bound law.
If someone reports to the police that a flag is being flown that they feel offended by, even if it is a Georges Cross or Royal Britannia (in England) then the police will request that you take it down.
This is a small sample of issues that while can be twisted to being 'anti-cultural' are quite standard things that have been so for decades. Although I really don't agree with them, they've been in place longer than people have been trying to seek residence here.
Quote: "It's better to have imigrants working crappy low paid jobs in this country and have them spend part of their pay in our economy. Don't let the workers come to the jobs and the jobs will go to the workers."
Actually this is something I am against. Right now while you can claim that our economy is suffering as a result, the fact remains that we don't have the same style of credit system in-place (or budget) that the United States has in order for students to finance thier way through college, university, etc..
With the fact that unless you do have a fair bit of money behind you it does take away the whole insentive to do well if you can never really achieve anything with your life. For Assylm seekers to then come into the country and take the unskilled working jobs that make up the majority of thie countries work-force, all under the presidence of being 'equal oppertunity work' .. well I feel this is wrong.
Another thing I find wrong is that our government will sponser people from other nations to school in our universities on scholarship, yet what you have to achieve within our own nation to be awarded such a thing is beyond ridiculous. As it is not just a case of good grade but being some hyped-up over-achiever. Like your awarded for being a friendless anarak.
From my perspective, this country is economically in trouble no matter how the government wish to spin it. They are constantly showing they have no faith in the internal industries, or even the people of the nation they're suppose to be serving.
Do I blame the Assylm Seekers that we have over 10x the rate going into every other European Country combined? No, I squarely blame the government.
As was mentioned above they take a back-hand approach to everything.
So rather than kicking out someone who is likely to sponge; they wait until they've done wrong then let months of bearacracy take over. They don't scale the number of jobs that our younger society on how many seekers will be allowed access.
To me, it is more important that the low-end jobs are available to those who are going to be the future of this nation. If these people are going to come to the UK to work, then fine... put them to work in areas that they are needed.
We don't need another 100 corner-shops, or tandori resturants. We need Medical Staff, we need Police Officers, we need Public Transport Staff.
If they people are comming to us unskilled wanting to make a life for themselves, then give them a skill; and put them to work in areas that people are needed that generally speaking those in our own shores seem to shy away from. Let them realise that if they're going to shirk at school they'll never earn as much as those who've taken the effort to get into this country rather than taken the right for granted.
