as an english person, do I have any right to protest against the amount of immigrants in my country,?

Question

I want to start a campaign to say Enough is Enough. I do not want any more immigrants in this country. We cannot afford them, we don't want them. I don't care what has happend to them in their own country. They walk into this country and get whatever they need, or take it as they have no regard for my country or its laws. they do not get prosecuted. The elderly of this country whos relative fought and died to give us a better way of life are neglected and let down by the government of this country. Enough Is Enough, I don't want any more and I want all the illegal immigrants deported. We are becoming the sess pit of the world, The English are leaving this country, we are refugees. We have never been invaded by so many countries in any time in our history as we are today. we are being displaced and leaving the areas where we grew up and our relatives have lived for generations. i have got to the point where I go up to immigrants ask them where they are from and tell them to leave

Answer 1

You have every right to protest against whatever you want. As our Government say, we have freedom of speach so go and protest as you have the right to do so..... but bear in mind that at the sdame time, you could also be in trouble for racism and inciting racial hatred etc.
The laws of this country are unfortunately high in double standards and very hypocritical.
You CAN do this but if you do, we will arrest you... blah blah.
The main cause of the problems such as the one that you are pointing out is that the English have one major problem.... can't be bothered....
I am not saying we are lazy but you tell the point you made to most ~English people and you will get the same reaction... Moan about it but at the end of the discussion, they will say "There's nothing we can do about it"
Then sit back while it happens.
Scotland has a parliament because the Scotts fought for it and got it.
The English seem to sit back and wait for it to happen for them which is why we never achieve anything.
I garuentee, whatever political issue there is, mention it to most English and they will say "Poinless doing anything, we wont get what we want" and they sill simply sit there and moan and NOT do anything about it.

With immigration, you DO need to define the protest because... Personally... I have NO problem with people coming to this country.
If someone moves here and works for a living, pays there taxes etc I have a lot of respect for them.
People that just come over and demand benifits and don't work, THAT I am against!
But with that, there are also ENGLISH people that do the same so is the actual problem immigration.... or false benifit claims?
I would rather sit and have a pint with an Indian bloke that works rather than an English bloke that REFUSES to work.

Answer 2

The home secretary made a good point the other day. He said that anyone that starts talking about immigration gets accused of racism

YOU are the reason why.

If you want to make a sensible, informed debate on immigration then I am all for it. But you views are based on tabloid journalism and very little else.

The ironic thing is the people writing the stories are usually well educated and get a kick from telling you fools what to think.

Get out a few books, read more. Open your ears.

search your soul and see whether you'd be feeling the same if you mum and daughter had been raped in front of you and you'd die if you were deported back to your counrtry of origin.

And another thing. The UK takes a disproportianately small amount of immigrants and we can easily afford it.

Fact is, we need the young workers.

Answer 3

Ok then. Everyone with Norman, Saxon, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Roman, Viking, French, Spanish heritage, raise your hands? Ok, now deport them from England. Never mind that they've never seen or known their countries. I suppose you see someone with a different skin colour and assume they're an immigrant. They could be 4th or 5th generation English who's ancestors came over here while invaded their country and took over their government, such as India.

Don't beleive the tabloids, immigration is not only down, but msot have no choice which coutnry they go to, paying men that transport them in atrocious conditions. Those that do choose do so because of family or the prosepcts for work.This is from surveys and evidence taken by immigrants, not the Sun.

Get a job in Immigration if you want to change things, see for yourself how things really work. Don't be looking at the Page 3 girls to give you your news.

Answer 4

You have a right to protest, but it's unlikely anything will be done.

You'd get loads of support I reckon but it just seems so hard to get anything done these day. A lot of people would be behind you though. I think there's a definate emergence of the 'enough is enough' way of thinking.

My main issue is that crime rates have risen so much and I know for a fact that you can hire an immigrant to do building work for next to nothing, thus meaning honest business men and women are losing trade. Not only is that not fair on people making an honest living, but it's not fair on the immigrants either.

I don't think we should say out and out 'no' to people seeking asylum, but just crack down on illegal immigrants and people who come here just to make money. It's hard enough to find an job here if you're a British citizen.

We need to stop spending money on housing and benefits for non UK citizens and spend that money on improving our hospitals and our elderly care facilities and education. We should be ensuring that our own citizens have what they need before we start helping others. It may sound selfish but at present I think it's necessary to restore our country to it's former glory.

Answer 5

I mostly agree with the welsh_witch. But what you should be protesting against is the benefits they receive, that should only be in place for very special cases, otherwise in order for them to receive any sort of financial aid (only if its very necessary), they would first have to have been in the country for a while and contributed to the country by working and paying taxes for a number of years. As for you going up to random strangers and asking them to leave, that is childish and really not the way to go about it, stop being so hostile and try to be a bit more tolerant of others. Throughout history people have migrated all over the world, it enables us to get to know each other and in a way promotes understanding. I think it would be a very dull world if we were all consigned to live forever in the country of our birth. Think about the positive, the enrichment of culture, better understanding of each other and quite often the valuable contributions to the country (shall we tell all the foreign doctors and people in similar positions that because they are foreigners they are not providing a valuable service and they should get out?)

Answer 6

Look it's quite simple there's only one race, the human race. We live on a huge planet that contrary to popular belief doesn't really belong to any of us and there's more than enough room for everyone.

Immigration has made England the great country it is today, with varied skill sets, ideas and people. Honestly the sorry state of this country today is down to poor management from successive self-serving greedy governments, not to a few poor folk from other countries. But while you're spending your time blaming them, you aren't doing anything about the real problem - which is exactly what your government wants and exactly why the BNP aren't an illegal party because they keep the liberals and the left fighting an imaginary enemy rather than concentrating on corporate greed, low moral standards (usually not immigrants who come with strong religious moral upbringings) and an ill thought out legal system that benefits no-one.

Answer 7

I think most will agree but too scared 2 say so. Those who dont are probably tucked away in a nice little village or too stupid to see the effect its having on society.
Iam a geography student, its a fact that immigration is essential for our economy as they will do the jobs we just dont wanna do. But enough is enough, why not spare a though for our homeless and our unemployed before we begin paying out for an immigrant 2 sit on their **** all day.

Answer 8

The immigrant population of this country is less than 3 percent, and a majority of them are doing jobs that either English people don't want to do, or jobs that we don't have enough trained people to do. I suggest that maybe you check the actual facts rather than just believing what the Daily Mail tells you. Unless of course it's not a question of immigration and you're just a racist bigot.

Answer 9

I am an immigrant. Who isn't in this country?
If you are American Native Indian, you have the right to protest, if you are not, I just can tell you that it is obvious that you are a very ignorant person. Take some American History classes or read and educate yourself.
