This is not really going to be a popular post, but I king of think they should always have been making some kind of effort to integrate rather than isolating themselves. I feel like some of the...unsavoury..views a lot of British people have come from fear of the unknown. People ignoring you when you walk past them, blanking you if you attempt to talk..etc.

Of course a lot of immigrants do make an effort to 'fit in' but a lot also don't bother, the guys who own the shop up the road from me speak perfect English, but they often talk in their own language when there are English in the shop, which tbh I find quite ignorant :/

Slow. Clap

:facepalm: I am more than secure in the knowledge that my post was reasoned and reasonable, but I'm afraid your deflectory response is yet further proof that trying to be reasonable and genial with you T.S. just does not work.

The fact that I pointed out that you live in Scotland is neither xenophobic or racist, or any other 'tosh' label which you disingenuously wish to falsely label it with.

I used the fact of your geographical location to underscore my point, that you are just not qualified to KNOW the true circumstances of any people living in any other country of the United Kingdom who may have concerns about unlimited immigration, and because you do not have that intimate personal knowledge of these people's lives, you also cannot have any insight into their reasons for having concerns, therefore to denigrate them as you did is out of order.

To underscore your condemnation of the 'EU Referendum' verdict, there is no one on here more than you, who has pointed out over the past days, that 'Scotland' is a 'separate nation' - now, because I am innocently using the fact that you live in Scotland NOT England, Northern Ireland, or Wales, to underscore what I am saying, you accuse me of being xenophobic or racist.

c) The UK Border Agency make very little difference to the numbers of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS entering the UK, and have even less of an impact in ensuring that those they do catch are removed or 'secured', because - under the absurd EU laws - the greater percentage of detected illegal immigrants are simply placed in open accomodation in London (paid for by the UK taxpayer) and simply told 'not to abscond'.

It is NOT the Immigrants to blame - it is the Government and the system.

Out of the EU, we can and will, repeal all the inane EU laws which have rendered it nigh impossible for us to control immigration, and unfettered immigration will be reduced and more thorough policing of our ports and airports will be initiated.

Immigration may have been high on the list of the concerns of a lot of people who voted to 'Leave' the EU, but it is not the ONLY concern, and I do not believe at all, that 'immigration is all anyone was bothered about'.

I don’t know about you but because racism and bigotry is at the forefront at the moment, I make a special effort with foreign shop assistants to be extra pleasant. Before they were just shop assistants like anyone else but because I’m now aware of how they are possibly feeling, it makes me want interact with them more. I like to think they are being extra nice because they are feeling accepted by all us none bigot/racists and not because they are attempting to be more accepted.

Exactly Kizzy and this didn't start within earshot of a referendum, this started with those bastard neoliberals who used immigration and fear of terrorism as a ruse to bring in more snooping laws. Prejudice wasn't born from UKIP, it was just nurtured and watered by them. These Tories planted the seed and sat back and allowed the media to fuel it for all it was worth.

Cameron's little game went woefully wrong and now he has fallen on his own sword.

The majority of British people - and that, by their own voilition, includes huge numbers of long domiciled immigrants, coloured or otherwise - who are concerned about uncontrolled runaway immigration, are NOT racist, xenophobic, or ignorant. They are ordinary, decent, people who have genuine concerns borne of actual direct personal experience, of the extremely adverse effects on their traditional way of life.

These 'indigenous' people are not filled with hatred, just concern. They are not against immigrants in reasonable numbers who integrate, just alarmed by huge numbers of immigrants who have not integrated, but formed ghettos; scaled down replications of the native villages, towns, and cities in their own countries - THE countries which they have left to come to Britain.

In addition to the now long established and accepted Asian usurpation of huge parts of the UK, there is now ever increasingly more areas in Great Britain where British people are GENUINELY suffering because their traditional British way of life has been, and increasingly still is being, usurped by the relentless influx of Eastern European immigrants.

Which areas of the UK now does not have its 'Little Polands', 'Little Romanias' etc? - areas where the shops, businesses, houses, and markets are owned, staffed and patronised by immigrants. Areas where English is a foreign language, and British traditions and culture even more foreign.

No one in authority has done anything to allay the concerns of these usurped indegeous citizens, because they are prejudiced against such concerns by their own political persuasions, or are fearful of the P.C. driven backlash, or are rendered impotent by 'EU Legislation'.

So yes, these people are concerned, and feel marginalised, forgotten, contemptuously ignored by the politicians whom they elected to serve them and trusted with their votes.

And YES, the win by the 'Vote Leave' campaign was partly due to the votes of these anxious citizens, because it was 'payback' time - a message to the Government, that if immigrants lives matter, then so should the lives of the downtrodden, suffering people who put this Government in power.

These people are NOT Xenophobic and NOT racist, and neither is their concerns bred of ignorance or irrational fear, but very much borne from the real increasingly adverse experiences of how uncontrolled immigration is decimating the lives of decent, ordinary people.

It was a UK referendum, Scotland is as entitled to their say as England remember?

It's feeling very thatcheresque in England at the mo, minorities are being blamed for governmental errors, the media are ramping up the pressure. people are poor and disenfranchised.

It's touted as an ace time to be British...it doesn't feel ace, it feels sh*t.

On the subject of 'Immigration', just WHO 'utilises the media to influence the public as a tool of information control?'

It cannot be Cameron and The Establishment because THEY have just sold their souls to try to 'influence the public' into staying in the EU' - including utilising the media' - and only those supporting immigration, openly or covertly, voted to stay in the EU.

Perhaps it was the Labour Party?..... Uh, no, ok then.

The BNP, The EDL, UKIP?... Oh, OK - none of these wield THAT kind of power or have the funds.

Not every documentary no.

It has been previously admitted that the media and documentary programming has in the past been used as a tool to manipulate the perception of the electorate on certain issues.

Thank you for your denigration of my perception and opinion on this issue, I have come to expect nothing more.

Why are British children of colour being targeted for "crimes" that their parents have committed which is live in this country?

Obviously the Media loves blowing things out of proportion and that it's probably not quite as bad as it's being made out to be, but I do think that when you have a Right Wing party running the country it breeds prejudice of all kinds.

It breeds racism, homophobia, and more importantly it breeds snobbery between the Upper Class and the Working Class.

And really, I'm tired of the suggestion that we are a ridiculously racist country when we are not. I hope this is a lesson learned. You have to listen to people because if you keep them down by calling them names, it just blows the situation out of all proportion.

Not being heard doesn't make racism justified. They're not the same. For example the same person that said that he's allowed to have pride like the Welsh and Scots fair enough but then he posted a pic of a golliwog. He didn't have to go there. He's racist.

yes but labour created the atmosphere and the environment for this frustration and bigotry to grow. not everyone is racist, sometiems theyre desperate or ignorant or ill informed or dirt poor or uneducated or in some cases have dreadful personal experience which has made them fear immigration. maybe relatives killed in wars or hit by terrorists or beaten up or robbed. labour labelled everyone as racists, people felt they werent allowed a voice, labour allowed population to rise 3.7 million in a decade and never mentioned we had open borders yrs before germany. they were a totally dishonest party , rotten to the core. they then started illegal wars for oil and sent our poorest to fight an die without even the propr equipment and without military hospitals to treat our wounded. vile party.

That's what happens when you take the piss out of ordinary people for far too long. Sad but true.

52% isn't much of a majority though, especially considering 16-17 year olds wasn't allowed to vote either, and a lot of Remain voters thought that we would remain so didn't vote.

If Scotland has to have over 60% to have another Referendum, then shouldn't the Leave campaign have to have over 60% to leave the EU?

48% is a lot of people to piss off, ruin their future careers, their finances, and change how the country is run on them.

Don't forget there is nearly 3 million people so pissed off that they're demanding another Referendum, the majority do not want to leave the EU, it's just that the elderly voted more and scraped a majority which is fair enough, but it's not what people want, and more importantly not what the future generations that are gonna be living in this country for many more years to come want.
