Immigrants. Ah, yes, they’re always expendable. They come to the UK to do the dirty and unglamorous jobs the natives refuse to do, yet we blame them for taking our jobs, commiting crime and sponging off the social. No wonder they have become the nation’s favourite whipping boys (and girls).
Another in a long line of examples of this (there’s plenty to be read in newspapers, on TV, radio, and on the web) was when a government minister was forced to apologise when figures on the numbers of foreigners working in the UK were said to be ‘underestimated’ by around 300,000. The new ‘official’ figures now stand at a current total of 1.1million. Apparently, the numbers are being seen as a ‘problem’ by policy makers. This mistake was criticised by both media and politicians alike.
1.1 million foreign workers? We should be damn grateful that many still want to work in this country, in spite of the vicious media attacks brought against them.
How did we ever manage as a society before the days of mass immigration? Coal must have dug itself out of the ground, defied gravity and in some cases flowed uphill to reach power stations and steelworks; streets were automatically swept clean by the wind, the sewers cleared out by a well-disciplined army of genetically-modified worker rats….
Get real!
