i'm lost for words at what's happening to the uk

all these protests and rightly so, about this illegal immigration, migrants being put up in hotels across the country, and the talk that the country seems to be going in a totalitarian direction...there appear to be so many problems now, mainly because of mass illegal immigration which the labour government support and the church of england too.....i'm lost for words and can't believe it.

i'm patriotic to my country, to britain so all this is a big deal to me. dark times.

'I'm patriotic'. That's nice. So am I, but I am patriotic to the country I grew up in which did not need to fly flags everywhere to prove itself. I agree the country is going in a totalitarian direction but I'm hoping that enough people will see that that's what Farage wants and that he will be defeated at the next election. There are very many problems in the UK of which illegal immigration is one. I'm not sure why people are protesting outside the hotels which have people in it who have yet to be proved one way or the other to be illegal (according to the law and not according to prejudice) when they have absolutely no power. The people with power are in government. If you have a gripe take it there. To suggest the government cares more about very poor and damaged people coming from abroad more than the very poor and damaged people in its own country is to make a false dichotomy. When the Christian Church stands up to speak against attitudes which are not Christian, I asked people to go back and have a look at what Jesus said about who our neighbour is and about our attitudes? It may just be that believing Christians know more about their faith than those who are not.

Jesus didn't have any real neighbors because he was a free-loading hobo who sponged off of his rich buddies in Jim Crow towns.
I'd also like to ask: did you vote for Brexit?

Much of what is happening in the world today is out of our control.

Economic migrants
The growing influence of China.

Britain should look to Europe. But it will not .

The USA should look to Canada for America's future survival, but the USA will not.

The thing too is that the existing asylum seekers say, is that we dont need more people here. Many who arrive are not genuine asylum seekers either. They know how to milk the system and arrive in droves, have multiple wives and breed like mice and are all on the fiddle.

@meggie Being housed four to a room in a dilapidated hotel that is picketed weekly by racist thugs . . waiting 12-18 months for your legitimate asylum claim to be processed with no legal right to employment . . being turned out of your accommodation with 28 days notice and no support when you actually receive permission to stay in the UK.

Not a great deal of milk in the "system".

Dark times indeed, especially when the government cares more for the illegal immigrants than it does for its own people.
@peterlee Did you vote for Brexit? I didn't.

@wishforthenight No, I live partially in Spain.
And also I feel the infusion of European ideas is essential.
Further, it is our greatest trading partner.

FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@akindheart The door was opened to people. Some were bad. There were a lot more bad people already in the country.
vorian · 51-55, M

akindheart · 61-69, F
@vorian criminals. some you can spot, some you can't. but keep your eyes open. the problem is the ones you can't see.

@wishforthenight That's a first. I'm sure you will come up with some snide invective that demonstrates your biases.
vorian · 51-55, M
All the immigrants fault yeah? Jesus.
@vorian sadly a lot of people believe that, because the billionaire owners of the media they consume tell them so.
