Why are immigrants hated in this country?

I think you're underestimating the level of intelligence of the masses, a lot of "common people" are actually quite sensible and informed.

The average citizen is literate and has access to the internet for at least some period of the day.

That's why money should be spent on them. I'm all for immigration in the right circumstances but we need to take care of our own house first. Get the younger generation sorted out other we'll be left with a lazy benefit claiming generation.

Such preconditions are in no way sufficient to argue that the average citizen can come to a sensible conclusion on an issue of national importance.

Ie they are better employees?

Personally I wouldn't think about 'answering back' to my boss (unless its some kind of constructive input) because he/she is my damn boss!

I also work over-time without pay, because I'm not paid for overtime... Its a job, you have to do extra sometimes.

Why are so many people aganist immigrants/refugees/asylum seekers in this country?: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2288190/Why-SHOULD-crackdown-migrants-mean-crackdown-Britain.html

They are obviously vital for our economy and usually here to better themselves through work no one in this country usually wants (factory, kebab shop) or they are fleeing war torn countries. I personally know many immigrants and most suffer mental and physical health problems due to trauma, and most of their children/family have been brutially killed.

Again, in many newspapers they seem to imply we have the most immigrants coming here, but the actual figure is less than 2% of refugees arriving here (most go to afgan/pakistan/jorden etc.). And other western countries such as Canada/Austr. take more than 10 times the number that EUROPE takes.

Of course, they are a select few who abuse the 'relaxed' system of this country but why do so many people seem to think this is the majority?

P.S. I know the Daily Mail are idiots, but thought I'd use their acticle becuase so many people seem to commont on this website.

I'm sure they can:

a) design an e-petition,
b) sign an e-petition.

British governments have not been too keen on this though.

*They do not subsidize masters-level education to the same extent as their European counterparts do.
*They do not emphasize the continued learning of foreign languages (particularly Spanish, Arabic and Mandarin) beyond the age of 16, as many of their European counterparts do.
*Many British universities do not incorporate a year abroad as part of their degrees to near the extent that their European university counterparts do.

'Answering back' as in sticking-up for oneself. If you work over-time without pay they you are a fool, and if you keep doing it you will become a robot.

I guess I just have a different work environment, for me working beyond my contracted hours shows I'm committed and hence get more responsibility (for example I recently got to manage a project) that wouldn't happen if I did the minimum I could get away with.

If I keep doing it I will get a promotion! Its worked so far.

The issues are

1) They may not be aware of the fact that e-petitions exist.
2) They may not be interested in anything even remotely related to politics.
3) They may realise that their efforts are guaranteed to be futile.
4) They may not trust the government of the day with handling the issue.

If 2) then they might as well not have a problem with free movement of labour and capital.

1) A Master's degree is hardly a huge necessity as it can be obtained throughout one's career. Plus the money is scarce and providing even more subsidies would harm the economy as a Master's degree is not a huge step up from a Bachelor's degree.
2) The whole world currently strives to learn English as it is the language, almost every successful Chinese professional speaks it, there is virtually no need to learn Mandarin or any other foreign language for that matter, you can hire a translator if things get rough.
3) In most cases a year abroad is a useless endeavour, this whole exposure to a foreign culture thing is overrated.

Your whole argument is why this has never worked. University, university, university. This was all that we pushed in my school. Guess what. I didn't go, I work in industry.

All this is about uni. You don't get it. Immigrants generally do UNSKILLED work that doesn't require uni. University is not the answer.

Put simply, the youths of this generation need to realise a few things:
-Your not born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Your not entitled to a good job.
-You've gotta work a lot to get that £50,000 job you want...
-Man up.

This isn't about uni students, it's about unskilled labour which some youths think they are far too good for despite having no education...

If people voluntarily wish to take some medication (without state coercion) then I don't see why Human Rights groups or lawyers would interfere.

This wouldn't be possible if you ensured that the overwhelming majority of migrants were male - men cannot breed with men. Any population's growth rate is restricted by the numbers of females there are within that population.

The 'feminists' have had very little ability to prevent the Gulf states from prioritizing male migration - they have also had very little bearing in preventing many Western companies in technical industries from hiring predominantly men (in many cases hiring more non-Western men into European offices than Western women into the same offices).
