May I point out that I do not blame the foreigners/immigrants for this situation I believe we are in, I blame the government. The immigrants are not responsible for the way our society runs, the governing authorities are.

You are alone in thinking that white British are 3rd class citizens, I think it is all British people, not just white, who are being made to feel like that!

How is that the case? Look at the top levels of government, business, religion, entertainment - they are all dominated by white British men, as they always have been. In what way are you a third-class citizen?
And how is there double standards? In what way are you being discriminated against? In the legal system, benefits, jobs, whatever you like there really isn't any way that a non-white non-Briton could be treated favourably to you.
Not everyone can be rich or powerful, unfortunately. But again I don't see how that's the fault of immigrants.

I would agree on some levels we are becoming less important to the government, our rights are not what they used to be, especially in comparison to many immigrants we allow into the country. Housing etc. is more of a problem for British born than it is for people 'moving in' from abroad. It's almost like the tyipcal British politeness has become so extreme, it's almost like we're saying "please come into this country and take our jobs and our houses" so we can be seen as being "nice", although there is a fine line between being nice and being a push over.
The government need to stop being so damn polite and bending over to kiss the backsides of people who need to concentrate on making the best life they can rather than giving up and sailing over here to take our lives and the lives of our children.

Brits are not 3rd class people in their own country. And they shouldn't be made to feel that way either.
If everyone grouped together and took hold of the reigns that govern the government, then that might shake things up abit.
I believe this govenment needs a good shaking up....and any other government that follows it.

If you are not fortunate enough to be a high earner and were born and raised here and have paid your taxes on your all beit low wages, you come bottom of the pile.
Except for single mothers who have never worked and keeps having kids even though she has no intention of supporting them herself.
Sorry but Im just saying what I see

It honestly seems that way does not it? we are on the tip of the queue for colleges hospitals and human rights now. This government has long gone overboard attempting to no longer offend ethnic minorities yet i think of we are actually interior the minority do no longer you? people coming right here to stay and artwork ought to abide by using the same rules and regulations as us. I agree they are stirring up racial hatred and resentment.

To be honest with you, when I look at the UK now, I just think it's becoming a third world country. Full stop. If you don't live on £70 000 p.a. it's all pretty crappy.

No you are not alone. The white British male is rapidly becoming the only type of person who can be discriminated against. The ladies get it slightly better as they can always pull the sexual discrimination card.
Please don't flame ladies, not saying this is always the case and no, you shouldn't be discriminated against but there are a lot of women who would use it just because they don't get their own way.
