For me it’s not about colour . I’m on record on here that I’m pro controlled immigration.
It does have a bearing on wages though as lads who work in our local big factory say they haven’t a hope in hell of getting a decent pay rise as the bosses know they can call on any amount of over sea cheap labour. Do I blame the immigrants? No I blame the system for allowing multi national companies to pay buttons and advertise on their adverts in local papers that tax credits are available. When did Tysen Krupp become the government? Same with Amazon. They bus loads of EEs in from Wolverhampton to their Rugeley depot thus keeping wages down as a bloke working there just to amass a few quid ain’t interested in taking the bosses on for a pay rise.
Regarding immigration I think we all know the U.K. evolves. So certain things become the norm after a while.I think the original commonwealth people have evolved in to darker shade Brits. The newer set may well do but they also seem to stay in their little communities. So then we have a parallel way of living going on.Also if some of the new immigrants dislike our culture then what’s the point of coming to the party ?
Look at people of my generation. Les Ferdinand, wrighty, Bruno etc. There would not be a bloke I know say they were not English.Same with Rashford etc.This whole debate is about culture as much as anything else. I personally can feel more in common with a Sikh than a white Uber liberal.
I like my culture and I’m not afraid to say it. I live close to Wolverhampton but the town is a lot different to Wolvo . I know lads who are Sikh who dislike what some of the new immigration being.In Heath Town which years ago was white but then the Jamaicans moved in the now Jamaican /Black British are peed off with the new immigration.
A black lad who lived in my town but went back to West Bromwich was moaning about all the EEs taking over.Racism is not just black and white. There are whole communities of people who are not white who don’t like any given other group.A lot of the trouble in London with black gangs is obviously drug related but the African mobs and the Jamaican and British black mobs do not see eye to eye.
My neighbours on the one side are black . They are no different to me . Her Dad worked at the pit . So culturally wise we are similar in how we have been brought up . Maybe a answer could be the commonwealth immigration loved the U.K and it’s institutions . Maybe some of the newer arrivals dont
