My family were 100% white working class going back as far as records allow me to go. We were nothing special just an ordinary family, my friends are all of similar backgrounds that I was brought up with and relate to, we all worked in typical working class type jobs, we did OK for ourselves and would not class ourselves as poor at all.
I am grateful that foreign doctors come to work in our NHS and other highly skilled people that we need. These are the only immigrants we actually want or need in my opinion.
What I do not understand why we had to import peasants from the Indian subcontinent and poor people from all corners of the world with stoneage attitudes totally at odds with our own. They seem to have large families, these children need school places which are costing us. Why do we need their smelly kebab shops, car washes etc. I am sure we can manage quite well without them. We have enough poor working classes of our own why do we import more? When we are showed disadvantaged people on TV it is often immigrants, these people are are a drain upon us.
Letting in all the eastern Europeans has only done good for greedy bosses who gained from cheap labour and kept wages low. We don't need any of them, and now we are out of the EU we are still lumbered with them who want to stay, including the Romas who nobody wants.
I just don't understand the logic of letting poor people or people of low education into this country, I can't see any advantage at all.
