The Effects of Uncontrolled Immigration

A few years ago following redundancy I decided to sell my house and move away from London.
The reason I chose to make the move was as a direct result of the numbers of immigrants moving into the area while at the same time many of those who had lived there all their lives, many were friends of mine, were moving out.
I hardly knew anybody anymore and began to feel increasingly isolated.

I'm not a rascist and never have been, when I refer to people as English or British this includes those from ethnic backgrounds who have lived here all their lives and probably share my concerns.

Simple common sense dictates that if you allow a high number of immigrants to move into a small area, some of whom have been at war with each other for years, maybe centuries, there is going to be trouble.
My early fears have since been borne out by the high number of gangs on our streets, many of whom are just chilren, who are prepared to use knives or even guns.
Only a small number of incidents involving knives or guns get reported in the press, the problem is far worse than the Government is prepared to admit.
Additionally if you don't provide the resources to support an increasing population then you are contributing to the unrest.

It's also a fact that the vast majority of councils, if not all, offer priority housing to immigrants and provide them with electrical goods, beds, etc.
The electrical goods must also carry a twelve month guarantee.
Those who have lived in this country all their lives and find themselves in need of help have to apply for a crisis loan for these items which is then clawed back from the benefits they receive.
Immigrant youths are also given £25 a week pocket money, which is insulting to any single mum or dad whose 10 year old second hand fridge/freezer has just packed up.
Is it any wonder there is growing resentment?

I chose to move to this area as it had a very low number of immigrants at the time I moved here.
Even so I found myself unable to find a job despite excellent references, a couple of IT Diplomas and a very stable work record.
I thought at the time my age was a contributing factor and I discussed this with my MP and a few local councillors.
(One of the councillors suggested I could get a Xmas job at Tesco's collecting the trolleys in the car park).
Needless to say I declined and later found a job although it was low paid and the working conditions were pretty dire.
When I see politicians, businessmen and so called experts on the TV claiming that immigrants are welcome because they are willing to do the jobs the English are not prepared to do it is difficult for me to resist the urge to throw something at the screen. This is utter nonsense.

I have recently learned that there are a huge number of EU Nationals now working in this area, mainly Poles and Russians.
The local distribution branch of Morrisons which opened for business earlier this year employs far more Europeans than English staff.
I am told the English are outnumbered by 4 to 1 on the night shift despite this being an area where the level of unemployment is extremely high.
Quite a few don't even speak English.

In the meantime our prisons are overcrowded due to the huge number of immigrants being housed in them which in turn contributes to the high number of dangerous criminals being allowed back on the streets due to lack of prison space.

So how can our politicians continue to claim that immigration is good for Britain?
The facts speak for themselves and I fear things will get a lot worse before they get better.
