You can become a psychologist, if You know better what other people think. Congratulations.
If so I claim that You are a fan of Lady Gaga.
 
Prince I actually agree with you about what blackpool said and understand this is an emotional subject.But you have to be carefull not to use the same sort of generalisations in your argument that you are criticising in him as this makes you just as bad.
 
Blackpool, i do see your point regarding non-European immigration, and it is valid to a certain extent. But at the same time, it is a bit of sweeping generalisation to state that the majority of non-European immigrants come to the UK with a deep seated hatred for everything it stands for. Thats quite untrue. Actually, it's the opposite, most people i know from the Middle East and the Sub-continent, quite admire the UK, it's customs, its culture of tolerance, the transparency and accountability that characterize the political system, etc.

You cannot conflate disillusionment with foreign policy, with a total hatred for the country as a whole, this is a patent falsity which is unfortunately, perpetuated by the media. Immigrants who come to this country contribute alot. Those who gain legal status work hard and gruelling hours, pay taxes, are instrumental in the development of infrastructure projects and on the whole assimilate fully into the British way of life. It's one of the reasons that London for example, is such a vibrant, dynamic, city where nationalities from all over the world converge and it is a cultural melting pot.

And in terms of those who like Griffin states, are here "for our benefits", unquestionably the highest number are actually British born and bred. Or NEETS as they are known. The type of youths and truants you would expect to see hanging around in high streets consuming cheap alcohol, smoking, peddling drugs, assaulting other people etc. This is according to the government's own statistics.

Im not being an apologist for non-European immigrants, some of them, quite astoundingly do come here, claim benefits, and actually then muster up the temerity to criticize the UK and encourage subversion against it by radicalising young, impressionable Muslims growing up in a climate of pervasive and rabid Islamophobia.

I think we need a balanced and objective perspective of the situation with immigration and its supposed ramifications on British society, although i remain convinced that people coming here, seeking a dignified life, fleeing persecution, etc who obtain legal status, work and live here in full accordance with the law cannot be held as scapegoats for the failings of the political class.
