When working class Brits get angry about things they always blame foreignors and others, but not their rulers?

Answer 1

i believe this is a very accurate statement, that can be applied to the majority but an individual can be convinced of this more than a crowd which is the problem in this time.
people are dumb but most individuals can be intelligent.
i believe the media has had a big impact on the working class thinking.it is easier to blame foreigners than to look closer to home

Answer 2

Many do blame their rulers for losing control of the immigration process. They were told that 30,000 Poles would come to Britain after the expansion of the EU, in fact we got 400,000! Now the Romanians & Bulgars have joined. We are told only a few will come to the UK, should we believe that?

Many people in the UK are dependent on the state for Housing. So when they see houses with 5 bedrooms being built. there is a clear assumption they are for immigrants who have larger families than average. If public money is spent on upgrading areas with high ethnic minority population or Grants given to organisations that serve those communities., the host community see this as unfair. As you say they should blame the politicians, but it is often easier to direct anger towards the minorities.

The main political Parties must address these issues properly or political extremists will grow in power.

Answer 3

As a working class brit i can inform you that I do get angry at the government and the way it is run... and to be fair to the rest of the world I also get angry with their governments too when they're being stupid.

I assume (because you havent elaborated) that you are talking of the issue of Immigration and asylum seekers. In relation to this topic I actually get most outraged at the media, closley followed by the government, not the 'foreigners' at all. It is the media that is feeding people ridiculous non-information on this subject and causing normally intelligent people to be idiots.

Answer 4

For a start WORKING CLASS- in which pay rates brand do you mean. We have poor, getting by, rich, and very rich. I don't work at the moment my partner does and I bring up the kids, he earns enough money for us to live on and still save and have a nice life. I don't blame our problems on other people it's what this country has always done. WE blame others to make our self feel better, however this country needs to wake up and say lets fix the problems here first, because we can not help others until we help the people here first. we can not solve the problems in other country's because they are not willing to help them selves, It doesn't matter how much money we give them, until they are ready to help them selves and stop spending the money we give them on guns to fight each other then they will never have peace, LETS stop we need to help our own, This country says great Britain over it so lets start by make it great instead of turning it in to a third world country. LETS HELP USE FOR ONCE

Answer 5

This is a loaded question which assumes that all working class people think like this which is an incorrect assumption.We don't all believe the drivel written by the journalist class in tabloid newspapers.

Answer 6

I blamed my now ex husband and the different woman the two. She knew he replace into married. besides the undeniable fact that, the reason I have been given so indignant on the different man or woman is that the two my ex and that i contributed to the failure of our marriage. I certainly have conventional my section and he misplaced plenty throughout the divorce. the different woman had no longer something to lose! She basically basically disrespected me, my marriage and my kinfolk. She knowingly slept with a married guy via fact she needed too!

Answer 7

Don't make out like the Brits are the only xenophobes in the world, you look hard enough you'll find them everywhere.
Most of us are actually really very tolerant to other nationalities, we live in one of the most multi-cultural countries in the world for gods sake, and I reckon 85% of the population likes it like that.
As far as blame is concerned, anyone who is bigoted, dull or stupid enough to blame their own sorry life on a foreignEr really shouldn't be listened to, whatever country they come from

Answer 8

They usually blame the Tories. Most of them are not intelligent enough to understand that they are being brainwashed and manipulated by the Government, TV media, educators et al.

Answer 9

Oh Wise one, I am unable to answer your question. Why not go to a pub on a Saturday night and sit and have a drink with some British Working People. Perhaps if you listen to what they have to say, you might become enlightened.

Answer 10

True! It is what is called our inherent conservatism!

If you are in power, the best way to maintain it is to keep the majority under educated so that they can be used to divert responsibility. As the saying goes...a happy master looks on while the peasants argue amongst themselves!!!
