Yes I know, you've repeated that several times. But you're still avoiding the 'why?'. Never mind mate.

Because I wouldn't want a house full of Somalians or Albanians being given a house on my street. 

Would you?

If I sail to France tomorrow should I be given a hotel to live in then a house?

I couldn't give a fuck what race/nationality my neighbours are. Would you rather have a load of smackheads and spice zombies living on your street, as long as they're White British?

I don't want anyone being given anything. 

I've paid for my house and so have all my neighbours.

I don't want people coming here to claim asylum and being given houses when I've grafted since I was 15 years old to pay for mine. 

We have enough people migrants or homegrown receiving as it. The welfare state is absolutely out of control.

We don't need any more. 1 is too many.

Economic migrants fine.

Asylum seekers not fine.

Haha I saw that ‘report’ in the news. 

Here’s a critique of it.

“This is not an impartial, apolitical study of demographic change.

Goodwin makes arbitrary decisions about what exactly is considered ‘White British’. 

He defines this as those without at least one immigrant parent – creating a strange conclusion in which some people seem defined only by their ‘foreign’ side, creating a two-tiered system in which only those untainted by immigrant blood are considered genuinely ‘White British’ or native.

Goodwin’s definition is so absurdly broad that figures such as King Charles and Winston Churchill wouldn’t be considered ‘White British’ in this instance. “
 

What an utterly ridiculous study. And you’ve both fallen for it. Think that trumps my 12% statement eh 😂 

Must be exhausting wasting your time worrying about brown people & the death of the ‘native’ pure blooded Brit.

Go live a little boys. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Not really ... I've not seen any statement and fallen for nothing.

But hey ...  Let's all live in a world where traditions are forgotten and everywhere eventually looks and feels the same.

Not for me I'm afraid.

12% 🤣

You obviously missed or misunderstood the emphasis on “given” Earned would be a better word. You’ll get them as well if you’re lucky enough to last the journey. 51 years for me. (Still paying tax)

Someone arriving on a boat today with nothing get more.

On this I completely agree.

a pension is (in most cases) earned from years of contributions. Even folk who’ve contributed less than others get the same which I think is how a leading society should work.

As for boat folk, I’m all for giving them a couple of months to be processed and fed/watered, but I’d want to see the majority of them refused asylum and returned to their COO

Not all of them have "earned" those things.

I know.

But the vast majority have. Same with the NHS, a lot of people use it having contributed fuck all to the pot. It rankles a bit, but living in a highly developed society means we just suck it up. There are advantages, in that we are free to work hard and earn good wages if we really want to, so it’s swings and roundabouts.

There are many less privileged than us, people with disabilities for example, who I actually am more than happy to see benefit from the way money is distributed.

If you’re born and raised here, then that’s just the way it is.

But turning up and simply expecting to be given a plethora of unearned benefits is demonstrably bollocks I’m afraid. There will be genuine asylum cases but I’m simply not having it that every person on those boats deserves the handouts.
