Something has to be done about uncontrolled immigration in the UK. It is long over due. The size of the UK and it's infrastructure just can not cope.

I really don't understand why any citizen of the UK has an issue with this, to be honest.

France, Belgium and Germany are seeing the folly of allowing this to go unchecked.

We have the same problem in the Oil and Gas sector. We actually wrote to Osborne to tell him the skills are not here

Kids are not encouraged into engineering courses. Overwhelming majoirty of engineers and scientists in our universities are foreign students.

Then the tories increased school fees and made university education tougher for brits.

But whose fault is that? Immigrants

Osborne in 2011 introduced a tax on the oil and gas sector in the UK which saw no new drilling projects take place leading to job losses.

But it is the immigrants fault. Successive Labour and Tory govts have failed to invest in infrastructure projects and the current tory one is making cuts then complaining about public services being stretched thin

Whose fault? Again, the immigrants.

MUDD did you even read my post

If someone shouts Racist over and over again it is not helping anything and it causes more divide than it heals.

The point is that if we continue to identify ourselves through skin colour / gender etc. the divide will always exist, it only inflames anger on all sides.

Like white people feel under threat now because they're blamed for all the woe's minorities have (I'm speaking more of the US here) it's all the white mans fault the balck man is held back, see Black Lives Matter.

But when Black Lives Matter get faced with facts like over 50% of homicides in America are by balck people with the vasty majority of these being black on black then they cry racism again.

It's a perpetual cycle that is getting worse, calling everyone racist for everything is not doing anything to enhance race relations.

I didn't even want to comment and get drawn in but i guess i have to.

The thing that a lot of white people these days don't understand is that they don't look at WHY the current situation is how it is. all this "its my ancestors fault not mine" attitude does not help at all. until white people actually take responsibility for their ancestors atrocities then we will never really be able to move forward.

i don't know how reliable your facts are, but if they are true then think why. if all black people were generally as rich as white people, do you think there would be all these murders, jail sentences etc. Fact is it is poverty that breeds crime and the fact is that black people have been kept in poverty for centuries and therefore people try and link black people to crime while missing the common relationship of poverty.

A lot of the crime committed by white people is by POOR white people. Its not hard to understand. Poor = crime; there are more poor blacks than poor whites therefore it seems more blacks commit crime. also, what is with "black on black". why is that even a thing. why does nobody say "white on white" crime?

Fact is, the powers that be who are really in control are so clever and have planned out everything. this is what they want, they want us arguing and hating each other while they continue to stay in power. its called "divide and conquer"

Do you know how many refugees we have taken in compared to our European neighbours?

Do you know we are not even the top 5 destination for migrants

Do you know the list we are number 1 in?

The list of being most concerned about immigration

That highlights 2 things;

1. A lot of Brits are uninformed

2. A lot of Brits are xenophobes

Because we're not all obsessed with immigtation or hate foreigners?

....................

Controlling immigration and hating foreigners are two completely different things. Only a moron would think otherwise.

Nothing wrong with controlling immigration. Why do the immigrants who have broken no laws have to be demonised to achieve that?

If anyone here thinks tories want to stop immigration, they are deluded.

My arguments are not the best structured but listen to this:

The reason why you need these quotas such as minimum ethnic workers is because you need equality in this world. if one race/group has been held back for centuries, you cannot then just say "okay you now have civil rights" and expect things to be equal. they need additional support, more than the non-oppressed groups, to bring them up to speed. Otherwise, they will live in poverty and segregation and discrimination will persist - "defacto" segregation.

Think about it this way, we both walk through a desert all day all night. I have unlimited water and a camel to ride whereas you must walk bare foot with no fluids. Come the end of the journey we are told we must have a race. we both receive one bottle of water and have 10mins to prepare each - so we are on a "level playing field."

Who will win?

Of course I will win because I have had additional privileges prior to the "emancipation" and introduction of "equality".

For true equity and for true fairness you would need far more additional support than I do in order to bring you up to speed.

The sad thing is, when different races/cultures/groups receive this additional support, the pre-existing "privileged" group decide to shout out RACISM and moan it is unfair. They have no idea what racism really is.
