i couldn't agree with you more joe. we have forgotten how to listen to each other, no matter what class we are in.

we think of ourselves in catagories, us and them.
us, we think and feel one way, them don't think or feel anything about us at all.
so many issues affect us all, no matter what we have or what we were born into.
why is it so hard to imagine that others have the same needs and wants as we do?
joe i am sorry if you had a hard time in the UK, i assume you came as a tourist? why should any person visitor or migrant, feel unwanted unless they have behaved in a way that caused offence?

i hated it when we felt like that and we were only in wales. let alone if i had spent a huge amount of money and travelling time getting to somewhere that i thought would be great fun and welcoming.

onto the subject of people feeling threatened by migrant workers, are they being paid less? so the bosses want to employ them first to save on costs?

i can't rememebr who and i am too damn lazy to find out, made a good point about the worlds companies can relocate to any country where the overheads are cheaper, and people complain when they cannot follow the work.
i have said it before but it is not the workers fault that they are working (if this is true) for less than the locals would, because i assume that even though it is less to us, it is obviously more money to them.
why blame them? it is easier to blame and intimidate them than it is to tackle the real culprits.. the bosses... the government.. the EU.

so maybe before we shout about the wages or that we think migrants are nicking the jobs and undercutting the local workforce, maybe we should try to see the bigger picture?
they are simply people trying to improve their lot in life.

how many of us when buying a new car go for one step up from what we had?
it is the same thing just a bigger scale.
i understand the fear, especially when you live in one of the high immigrant areas, that this country is being taken over, and that you are slowly being pushed out, again you have to look at the bigger picture.

ok i am giong before i reapeat myself too much and end up confusing my poor tiny brain.

take care all
