Of course, you could just hitch a lift in the back of a convenient lorry, claim asylum, and get your very own government-funded closet.


Sorry, but that sounds like a lot of hysterical nonsense straight out of daily-mail land.

The truth is its become almost impossible to sucessfully claim asylum in this country and people are now regularly sent back to rape, torture & execution. Having studied many cases, it would not suprise me if MOST people at risk (or guaranteed) rape, torture or execution are refused (for many reasons, legal technicalities or just plain malpractice) I can give examples if needed.

These are just a handful of the failed applicants that were lucky enough to come into contact with campaign groups, the overwhelming majority do not. I have dealt with this charity personally and they double-check every case is genuine and cannot in any way discredit their reputation.

I don't touch that rag, psych. I've only got to take a visit to the nearest city to see thousands of bloody foreigners who are unemployed and can't speak English. Exactly how they got here, I can only guess. What I do know is that my taxes are paying for them to swan around in leather jackets making drug deals on their cellphones, and the sooner they're booted out the better.

Sometimes i chill in a closet and stim it up. Or swim through the garbage on my floor, that is fun too.

How do you know they are a) foreign nationals b) unemployed & c) cant speak english - you talk to all of them?

less than 1% of the worlds refugee population come to the UK, and the greatest single group of 'illegals' are austrailian over-stayers, so your guesswork is flawed.

You do not know that. Migrants make an overall net contribution to the economy (most of them pay taxes too)

If they dont speak english, how do you know they are selling drugs? :lol:

Your are either racist or living in a tabloid-fuelled paranoid fantasy. Ive yet to meet a racist capable of rational, coherent and independant thought so if thats the case theres very little point discussing it further. If however you are paranoid, ive been there myself and you'll feel much happier by examining both viewpoints and building up a balanced picture of whats really going on. Remember that stereotyping can be an AS trait.

My worsts flu-induced nightmares were of me being forced to comprehend a giant space. I hate large enclosed spaces. Because the enclosure gives me a sense of depth and i am forced to comprehend the distance. I don't really like totally empty spaces, but not nearly like large closed spaces. Also i'd have nightmares where i've fallen down some kind of sewer tube which got smaller and smaller and i got stuck and couldnt get out. The kind of panic i feel then is like, if i had a gun i'd paint the walls with my brains just to stop the feeling of inevitable doom.

How about having weight of cushions on you or body weight.
I’ve often had the urge to lie under a mattress, but my bed at home has wooden slats under the mattress so not too accessible way of doing it.

When I was young I always used to love sitting in the closet with the door closed, and spent a lot of time under my mattress (although being under a futon is more comfortable). When my parents had a lot of visitors around (Christmas and the like) I used to crawl under the piles of coats and hide. Now I don't do *any* of those things. The one indulgence I still have is that I really like going to the dentist to get my teeth X-rayed because I love the weight of the lead apron on my body. (The rest of the dentist visit is a real bother.) My partner bought me a down-filled duvet for Christmas one year and it's been a mixed blessing - it's very warm but not heavy enough, so I end up piling on extra layers of blankets to build up the feeling of being covered, only to end up way over-heated.

Firstly, having a British passport doesn't make one not a foreigner, in my opinion. As for the unemployment and speaking English, I know enough to be confident that is the case. I'm afraid you'll just have to take my word on it. Anyway, if you want to dig around for firm evidence to back up the anecdotal stuff that most people know is true, but dare not speak, you can. Here's one:

From the Telegraph

Quote:
In 2001, after a Dutch crackdown on benefit fraud, 10,000 Somalis moved from Holland to one East Midlands town - Leicester.

It's also a good article in other respects; take a look.

So what? You need to put a figure to that, then compare it to our current population to make any sort of useful observation.

There was a survey a while back, but I can't seem to track the figures down. It showed that most of the Australians and Americans here are working — they're not drug-dealing spongers. To be honest, they're welcome, as far as I'm concerned, at least they're not likely to go strapping explosives to themselves and blowing up trains, or kidnapping young British kids and torturing them to death for being white.

So we're often told. Even if they do work, many get a disproportionate allocation of state benefit because of their large families. Moreover, their culture is destroying parts of our country:

It is obvious you didnt bother to read through my links before replying, where your myths, stereotypes & implied generalisations are debunked at great length.

speak for yourself, I happen to like living in London. I am secure enough in my own identity and self-worth, so unlike some i dont feel the need to adopt nationalist ideologies or demonize different cultures to support my self-esteem - i tend to read that into people who bang on about 'their' country.

I notice 'Migration Watch UK' is quoted as research in your link (also used heavily by the torygraph which you also reference) Hardly a renowned source of objective information! :roll: One of the leading members (i forget which) also works for the EUGENICS SOCIETY. lovely ;)

two words: confirmation bias

The reason i came on this thread was to make this point. I have seen firsthand the effects this system has on friends, treated like scum in so-called 'safe' countries for basically having had the guts to stand up and say 'NO' to injustice at immense personal risk. waiting to see whether or not they will be raped and/or tortured again. wanting to tell them everything will be ok... knowing it might not.

Obviously this is a subject i feel VERY strongly about. If you do not care, or feel any sympathy for people in that situation, then thats fine by me - i can accept that different things make us tick, and we'll move on.

But at least have the balls to come out and say 'i dont care'.

thanks.

I wish i could say I don't care on a soap box. I care a little bit about everything, but not very strongly. So For all intents and purposes, I don't care ^_^.

Well, I hope you stay there, then. Around this neck of the woods we're mainly English speaking natives. There's a very low rate of crime, no mosques for crackpot mullahs to preach their hate, and no gangs of Muslim youths ready to pounce on someone who turns the wrong corner. The few ethnic-minority folk who do live here are indistinguishable from the rest of us; they have been assimilated into our society — they don't go round dressed in bedsheets, or jabbering in their native tongues as soon as you walk into their shop.

I hope it stays that way. Most people who can genuinely call this their country feel like this; and many of us are prepared to fight to see it stay like that.
