any one out there feeling the high racial tensions going on in this place these days its like in your face all this new talk about immigration and all that jive and too many people coming in from the EU english people are saying that there taking over and there be no jobs left for them buts thats because these english folk dont like to work and all the immigrants are working for minimum wage it's not and being grateful for it and also other people from the caribbean also, there is no one to hand you nothing in these countries no government to take care of you so these people accustomed to getting up and get but the english know that if they dont feel like working the government will take care of them and this has produced a lazy society all i can say is this, for a period of four hundred years my ancestors were slaves giving places like england free labour and now they can work for there own the same countries that enslaved them do not want them any more after there helped to make this country what it is today well well well they just getting back some of what is owed dont mean to offend but what goes around comes around oh and by the way if you're wondering i'm not racial because i am both black and white mixed but i feel more black because thats the only people accept me for me in the eyes of white people i am black and you know what i am fine with that cause thats where i feel at home

There is a lot of racial tension due to the fact that immigration hasn't been controlled, which has led to a huge influx of mainly Eastern European. The government originally said there were only 30,000 but are now saying they don't know and it could be nearer 1-2 million and rising.
This causes problems as public services are being stretched to cope with the population increase. One of the sewage plants in Edinburgh has already broken down due to the increase.
British people are not lazy and would work for a living wage but the majority of jobs available are temporary and minimum wage or below. Most immigrants are here to earn money and don't care that they are in shared flats or that they have to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, as they probably don't intend to stay.
It won't be long before the immigrants realise that they can claim benefit and then they will be as lazy as the british born.

Firstly you are either british or not.. as soon as you meantion race such as you did as being "black" you are becoming part of the problem instead of the solution. The problem with race is people are allowing it to be an issue. If you need to call yourself black then you giving yourself a category. Then saying its the "EU English"? what is EU English? The problem within Europe not just the UK is uncontrolled legislation which has allowed too many people to enter not just the UK but many other countries without being vetted. Not only because we have too many unskilled workers but also it increases housing costs and a strain at local levels. e.g. doctors surgerys having to speak about 15 languages because we have people who have yet to learn English, schools having to find more placements,etc etc. More road accidents due to foreign drivers entering the country with vehicles unfit for the UK roads. Bearing in mind a UK Haulier could be fined and imprisoned for a dangerous vehicle while a Polish operator for example is asked just to get it fixed. Its created an unfair and unbalanced society which is creating hate.
You also have to look at it from a person to person level. If you have 10 guys from Poland share a house they split the rent 10 ways. While the neighbour is living with a family of 4-5 with 2 working adults the British people cannot afford to compete for the same jobs. Also the fact the recession is now here and people are heading back to home countries with money they earned over the good years while the people in the UK see it head into a decline. It has all the makings for civil unrest and you can blame it all firmly at the EU and Labour governments door. Im anti EU and im anti Labour they have done so much damage since its come about it may take 20 - 30 years to recover if it ever will.
