I AM NOT MIDDLE CLASS! I'm Working Class, and since we're living in the class system - i'm proud of it. So you think it all boils down to money? If it means we can change some numbers that have no real relation to anybody in this country's lifestyle then we should let our fellow human beings rot and die and we can rest easy about it. Again, don't be so naive. While this sort of racism is caused by Capitalism it does not make it fine just to ignore it's existence. Yes, we should be going after the root cause more than the symptoms but that's irrelevant really. People need help. You have no right to refuse it.
I love how you act as if you've done everything and seen it all, when really all you're doing is justifying horrendous crimes with statements like "We can't afford it" or "We were here first". They have no real meaning - all that matters is that we enjoy life and help others to do the same.
You can't simply ignore that argument, because it's true. We have no more right to 'own' or to 'rule over' this land than they do. Yet when others simply want to seek asylum or to live on it you dare have the audacity to assume that you have the right to drag them from their homes and throw them on some plane? Don't you talk to me about morals.
I never said "we were here first". Please don't misquote me, I didn't do it to you.
I laugh at your insistence that you're working class, it seems as you're desperate to hang onto this in order to justify your 'struggle'. I knew people who had similar views to you. It didn't matter that their household had an income of 60k+ a year, 2 cars in the front drive and could afford a holiday once a year as well as living comfortably enough; they were working class! Get a grip.

I haven't a clue what you're on about there. What is "it"? The meaning of life, is that what you are referring to? Second part, again what is "it"? Money has a massive relation to everybody in this country... It is what makes the World go around. If you don't like it then that is fine but you can't just close your eyes, put your fingers in your ears and scream "LALALALA" and expect it not to be true. Again, get a grip.
"You can't simply ignore that argument, because it's true. We have no more right to 'own' or to 'rule over' this land than they do.

Well, we do have more of a right to rule over this land than anyone else. British people make the law for the country, and British people rule over it (there's an obvious EU argument here, I'm sure we don't need to go into that though.) Simply want to seek asylum? What because they've committed a crime and they aren't prepared to take the punishment so they think that they have the RIGHT to a FREE ride over here because of that? Don't like the time, don't do the crime. It's as simple as that.
I'm not dragging them from their homes, it was their choice to come over here. They have to abide by the rules, in the same way that me and you do, and if they don't then they have to appreciate that the avenues open to the enforcement agencies will be used. If this includes deportation, then so be it.
I haven't spoken to you about morality, but I can assure you that I am a hell of a lot more knowledgeable than you are in that field...
Also, why do you think that these people who have no legal right for our handouts should be placed above natives who have worked and paid taxes? Again, I point you towards Carlton. Yes, there are many issues there which causes the extremely low life expectancy but with education and other schemes this can undoubtably be raised but we can't afford it as we're ploughing money towards fleeing criminals.
As it's been said, you're a kid who's got ideals. We all had them, heck I had a Hammer and Sickle flag in my bedroom when I was 13 and thought I could fix the World. I quickly grew up and realized that I couldn't because there wasn't an issue to be fixed. I commend you for having strong views, but I can assure you they are nonsensical.
Bloody 'eck, that was a long post!
