I was brought up in a very left wing family my step dad was an ageing hippy my mum a punk and I had an older brother and sister. We owned a small holding and my parents had underprivileged children to stay for holidays sent to us by the social services (scum bags the lot of them) I will explain if requested.
Now my sister hates anyone of Chinese, Japanese or of Indian origin, I'm sure she would hate anyone of African origin if my foster brother was not so.
I have heard so much from my nephew and even on this site that Asians are here to rob us off our benefits, steal our women and jobs and take over the country with their religion as my nephew reminds me daily on Facebook.
I have seen Horizon programs that show that illegal immigrants are forced to work for a pittance and then live in squalid conditions in shared accommodations at ridiculous rents because they cannot get benefits. I know that women have seeked asylum here because they have been tortured with rape only to be sent back because the British government do not class rape as tortured yet I'm sure every raped woman would say it was so.
It is a myth that illegal immigrants and asylum seekers get millions of pounds each in benefits, drive fast cars and live in mansions, they don't.
I'm not saying that border controls should not exist just not assume that every foreigner that comes into the country from less affluent countries is on the scrounge because of our generosity, a lot of our doctors are from Asian countries because our doctors have left for better money in Australia and America where they are paid so much better.
I just think it so easy to be be judgemental about this before we have the full facts, some just take a cheap tabloid point of view.
