Someone should re-name this thread *the immigrant and muslim bashing thread* first of all i for one couldnt care less whether my hairdresser has a headscalf on or not why do you need to see her hair for???? i think its totally wrong that she should be refused a job just because of her religious beleifs. if a non muslim turned up with a hair band or bandana on that covered most of their heads nobody would say a word. people are scared of things they know nothing about and i personally dont think its a waste of time going to court i think its great that people are standing up for their religion and there rights.
On the immigration subject which i feel particularly strong about how can some of you say that they get 5* accomodation and houses and benefits do any of you actually have first hand experience of this or do you just beleive everything you read in the paper. do you think people love to leave there families and countries to come to this country and be greeted by hostile rude people like some people on here.
my oh came here 5 years ago from iraq for him it was a decision between stayin and dying or making the scariest loneliest journey of his life at just 17 years old to try and find refuge from a war that america and britain started. he didnt get any accomodation if any of you bothered to find out you dont get anything until you have a legal status in the uk as in indefinite leave to remain or right to stay for 4 years.
he worked 7 days a week and had to live in a small damp dark room above the garage where he worked with no food or money as all his money went on the rent. he now has inefinite to stay and will have a british passport next year and we now live with his sister and her husband (a dentist and a gp who pay there taxes) and he speaks perfect english and is a qualified mechanic and pays tax he has never claimed benefits.
have any of you had to comfort your oh while they sit and cry distraught that they had to leave their parents and siblings behind in a war stricken country where from one day to the next he doesnt know if they will live or die.??
i hope to god that there is not a war in this country one day when were all dead and buried and our children are left here. how would you feel if your child went to another country to seek refuge and were treated the way you are talking about these people like they are parasites. in my opinion this country is going down the pan because of ignorant selfish people who cant accept change and other cultures. there is good and bad in every country i am proud to be british for no reason other then that i can step outside my front door without the fear of being bombed or lie in my bed at night without the fear of being raped. we have some great people and some terrible people but the great people wouldnt be great without the terrible people to compare them to.
i dont expect anyone to change there opinions i just want people to show some compassion and put yourself in their shoes for a while.
