Over 7% of Brits think there are too many immigrants?
Answer:
7out of 10 maybe right,and yes i am one of them.I could not care if people say i`m a racist..this is just the typical left wing crap that gets chucked around whenever people complain about immigration.Also lets not forget thats its not just white people who moan,i have many black british friends who are fed up with whats going on in our country.
The only way you will stop mass immigration is to stop giving handouts to anyone that turns up on our shores with a sob story.
just at add this point:
yes they do do jobs that british will not do this is done because they are seen as cheap labour,they are exploited and i`m sure had bosses be made to pay the same wage as a brtish worker they would not get employed.I have a big mortgage and i cannot compete with the new influx of eastern europeans.Try paying a mortgage of £750 pm on £7 pph cos that what they will work for.They are bringing wages down on buliding sites and hgv drving ask anyone who works their now if the wages have come down...I am a hgv driver and i`m seeing so many polish drivers coming overe here its worrying,my mate has been doing the sane job on an agency for the last 2 years but they have now taken on a polish driver to do his job because he is about £4000 cheaper this is going on all over the place but hey if all you lefties are to blind to see it then maybe you should go set up camp in another country where people can come and go freely and then see how you would survive.This country does not need anymore.
But i do agree with the statement about brits abroad...if you intend to live in another country the least you should do is the learn the language.No language then no entry.
Another thing.stop coming up with the daily mail statement people do read other papers and listen to radio stations so this daily mail crap is just a cheap reply.
Tell you what to all you lefties that say we need more imigrants,come to south east london its full off people from all over the globe.The goverment should now cap the amount of people who wish to live here.
I feel sorry for the next few generations leaving school because it will be far harder to get a job and its will proberley be with alot less pay
It would be higher but the other 93% are the immigrants
yet another media trash
Only 7%? bloody minority group then! Ignore and marginalise them!
I wish people would shut up about this, some of them are just racists, with little evidence of bad things happening as a result of immigration. Its just they want someone to put the blame on their problems so they can psycologically block themselves from dealing with them, believing its out of their control. I agree 7% sounds lower than I would expect, but I am not part of that percentage.
Why should they 'go home'?
Why does anyone have the right to live one place when another doesnt?
How many and why is there such a thing as too many? Are they not people too?
With an ageing population in the UK, who is going to supply funding for pensions and public services? Immigrants..
'Beautiful Scars' - I dont know where you are getting your info from, but the unemployment rate in the UK is much lower than the other biggest economies in europe.
I'm NOT saying people are racist if they dont want immigrants, but it is sometimes the case. Either way, they think they are more important than other people. We are all human, and deserve everything equally! Why are they 'our' jobs?
I agree it is unfair when people get preferential employment because of their nationality, because companies need to be seen as equal employers, that policy is flawed. But often their nationality has nothing to do with weather they get employed.
100%
Has to be higher. Why do u think there are more brit's on the doll than people from other countries, it's coz of equal oppertunities they get offered the job's b4 us. so yeah i would say it's got to be at least 90%. and to Rob i aint racist I have friends who are from other races and religions at the end of they day we are all the same on the inside, I have been to job interviews with polish women there and they got the job b4 me coz of the equal oppertunities. It's when they take our job's i'm not happy
we should just kick them out i suppose people with business's that dont want to have to pay tax on their employees and pay them the correct amount of money are people that dont mind the immigrants but i definately want them ALL out
In another 50 years whites will be a minority across Britain and there is nowt we can do about it, sadly.
I agree....I think it is more than 7%
If this is to be believed then 93% seem happy -so what's the problem.
Not going to get into the argument of deporting immigrants but Australia has the attitude that they will accept immigrants until it begins to affect their own culture and customs. Food for thought.
Nope, you just live in an area filled with, and talk only to, people who are mindless bigots (mmmm perhaps ...maybe... could it be that that is you immediate peer group??)
It seems that where you live the people there already are at home. So that problem of getting them to go home is already solved. Next step would be moving somewhere else yourself so you can live in a more mixed opinion-climate.
I don't think celtic people alone would be enough to keep the whole UK inhabited after all immigrants and their kids left. I know, the &%¤# vikings visited my homecountry too...wait a minute, how can I know I am not a descendant of theirs?
And 93% don't agree - seems like you're in the minority doesn't it - what does it feel like? Unpleasant I hope.
I would love to see a lot of the spongers go home, but like that ain't ever going to happen. Now with the EU laws all changing they have as much right to be here as you or I. I think the 7% they stated is a gross under estimate. I would say the figure is more like 70%
I live in one of the most multicultural cities in the East Midlands. So if they conducted the survey there they would be probably talking to a lot of immigrants. Of course they are not going to agree with "Are there too many immigrants in the UK".
I do not think the survey is a fair one. The result is wrong too.
When you figure out how to send them home please let us know how.USA...
Did you notice how quickly you were called a "mindless bigot" for suggesting that there may be too many immigrants in your country? And yet what word did you write that would suggest bigotry? You only wrote that you think there are too many, so that earns you the epithet of "bigot." If you oppose anything a non-white wants, you are subject to being called a "bigot." Welcome to the immigration debate.
trish, you are so, so right.
The lying bas*ards can't count,Won't count. Of course the figure is much higher.
Blair is hoping he's long gone when the s*t hits the fan.
Maybe we should sue him under the human rights act, for the rape of our country.?
To come up with only 7% I think it must hane been a very selective poll.
It's more like 70% , and a bayonet in the back ussualy works.
So it's 70% then? The 70% of people who think there are too many are basing their opinion on what they see around them and what they read in the newspapers, which is fine if it was right. But it's wrong, the evidence shows that there is not enough immigrants, see the link, or that immigration is vastly beneficial to the ecomony and society.
Note also that Britain as well as other countries have a duty to offer asylum to people under threat of death or persicution from their home state, and Brits have just as much right to move abroad as people do to come here. Note all the retired Brits moving to Spain and bizzarely Bulgaria, how is having a load of 70 year olds going to Spain helping the Spanish ecomony? But we have just as much right to go there, at least our immigrants are helping us!
So calm down.
Simply, mate - stop moaning, educate yourself, go to work, do it well and then, I will get sacked and you will be very welcome by my employer to replace me.
Beautiful_Scars, perhaps these women got a job because they speak and write better English than you do?
10 out of 10 people I know think there are too many, as for getting them to go home, if the government stopped giving them money and houses maybe theyd stop coming
It is higher , let them come but don't give them free NHS don't give them houses, don't give them DSS , in fact if they come here make sure they can keep there self's and there families for at least 10 years at least that way they would have put something into our country before taking.
Plus if this was to be the case just how many would come and stay? hmm.
I dont care what our goverment says they made a huge mistake and there still making it.
no one asked me so make that 8 out of 10,i dont do business with them.
Much of South East Asia, the Indian subcontinent, West, East and South Africa ... have felt the same way about the Brits in the past. For history's A-starred economic migrants, the Brits have little ground for grouching when the tables are turned. Anyway, today's immigrants add variety, enterprise and skills. And for all the jokes about Polish workers (the special butts of scorn), I don't see any reluctance on the part of Brits to employ them.
Somebody has used the term 'bigot'. This is a harsh word that I'd prefer to avoid. But Chambers defines 'bigot' as 'a person blindly and obstinately devoted to a particular set of ideas ... and dismissive towards others'. Trish goes straight from the anti-immigrant statistics to how we can get rid of immigrants. She's anti-immigrant, doesn't question this attitude in herself, and is so dismissive of opposing viewpoints that she just ignores them and asks nothing more than simply how we can chuck out these alien nuisances. If the cap fits ...
Trish : you say you are not blind to the views of others. Well, you weren't blind in one way : you endorsed the views of the alleged 70% and went immediately, without argument, to the question of how immigrants are to be got rid of. But may I gently suggest that not being blind to the views of others doesn't just mean endorsing the views of people who agree with you. It means taking serious note of the views of those who don't. You didn't pause to think that there might, just might, be another side to the picture. I and others have tried to present that side. If I hadn't taken your views seriously, I wouldn't have answered the question.
In fact you do give reasons for your view, mainly that you don't like the prospect of being in a minority in your own country. I don't think that's an absurd view though I don't share it. But consider what you did : you took it as a completely open and shut matter that a majority think there are too many immigrants and without more ado you asked how the immigrants could be removed. Is that open-minded ?
im not the best person to be answering this question.. as i live in probably the least 'mulit-racial' area in britain...[i have only ever seen 1 coloured person where i live]... but personally i dont have a problem with imiigrants, as they mainly do the jobs we dont want to do... or the jobs that the company couldnt find anyone with the neccessary qualifications. i.e dentists etc etc etc
I AM SICK of people saying immigrants are doing jobs we don't ant to do. if that is the case then tell me WHO did these jobs before ? hmmm i wonder could it have been us. this myth is propagated by employers, and liberals who have never had to do a job where an employer prefers a low paid immigrant to a higher paid indigenous employee. Why are liberals so thick as to not see this.
i listened to that news report too and it is about time the mojority stepped up and told the liberal minority that they are wrong regarding this mass Invasion of immigrants. we need to stem the tyde now or it is too late
Actually, it would be advisable to check your figures, you'll find the percentage even greater
Let us stop kidding ourselves with figures taken out of the sky.Under a referenda the figure would be more like 87%.It is time the Government started listening to the people on this and other issues before their is anarchy.Come clean we have had enough, so make your voice heard we are suppose to be a democratic society arent we.
