Re: People need to Stop Blaming Immigrants
So a migrant makes a post about migrants slagging off migrants 
Im confused as to why you made this post here in a forum full of migrants living or soon to be living in one of the most cultural diverse countries in the world, especially since you have no interest yourself in migrating to Australia. Smells like troll bait to me.
Infact the only sense I made from it was some person with some sort of chip on there shoulder swinging there qualifications around implying that the readers without said qualifications have been lazy thoughout there lives.
What I hate more than racists is self righteous people using an aspect of the racial debate to gain infamy by causing a reaction on an internet forum, wind your neck back in will you.

NEW LABOUR ARE NOT A SOCIALIST PARTY
The UK is in this shit due to greedy bankers & investors exploiting a capitalist system. There has been no link made by anybody, anywhere, to socialism. You really need to read more matt.
And I don't mean the Daily Mail.

Re: People need to Stop Blaming Immigrants
*** I am writing this in response to many brits living abroad often blog as Britain becoming a F*** place because of too MANY immigrants in there country. I hope not to cause offence in my defence and clairity and apologise if some feel intimidated, or offended or related to what I havent encapsulated.*****
People in the UK need to stop blaming immigrants for all there problems because there are many positives of immigration.
I came from a family of Asian pakistani immigrants, and was born/raised in Glasgow. I lived in the Ghettos with many other Asian immigrants in the 80s. My parents worked very very hard in those days to raise our family. There were many Asian families alongside all living in slums but they worked very very hard. Some woke up at the hours of 6am and then finished at around 8pm - 6/7 days a week.
Despite the explosive racism and racial hatred experiences consquently from media driven sterotypes and from the likes of the BNP, the Asian community that I knew worked competitively and intensively harder to suceed in there financial sucess in the 80s.
The desire to become self employed (corner shops) was very strong because everyone felt exploited in the local job market and often the term "paki" was very insulting. Which sadly is still part of mainstream society, often casually used in "pubs" and many other segments in british society behind closed doors of course.
Muslims are very hard working people and very sucessful people in Britain. You can find muslims in every walk of British Society, there are Muslim Doctors, Engineers,Consultants, Teachers etc.
The immigrant (British) kids of my generation that I knew from the slums, all of our generation went to become professionals, some doctors, some consultants like myself, some established very sucessful exporting/importing businesses, Wholesalers, retailers, factories etc spreading in many different parts of the country. Every kid that I knew in my street embarked on further education gaining degrees and Phds etc.
If your problems in your life are financial or career or whatever, then the simple truth is that you havent worked hard enough to produce the desired results. As Og mandio said "Failure is only a result of not persevering enough"
Moreover alot of the jobs which many immigrants undertake in the UK are jobs which typically are low paid not everyone wants to do them. The economy is based on Supply/demand if there is not enough supply of local labor to fulfil the demand then consquently immigration becomes the only economic viable option.
The people who complain about immigrants stealing welfare benefits, again are just looking for a scapegoat. The real truth is that you have insecurities and perhaps are not just as competitive enough for many reasons to accomplish the vision for your life that you had set out to be. Even if one does fail, like I have done in many spheres of my life, there should be humility to accept the good and bad, and move on and try to reflect upon the positive and not BLAME others for your problems....cowards blame others.
Immigrants or ethnic minorities make up about less than 5% of the UK population if that. However I am of the understanding that there are good apples and bad apples in everybasket.
