Petition to stop Romanian + Bulgarian immigration passes 150,000- is it time to act

£1,800 then?

I didn't ask for a list of things, I asked for a price.

Tut tut British people are extremely accepting. Have you lived here? It's beautiful, I love being here, it's a fantastic place to live. Like every country, it has some issued with racism, but Britain has quite a fair society imo.

The assumption here is that they leave before they are old enough to rely on the NHS, of which there is no proof of.

The second assumption is that work a normal job and pay taxes and you would have to be incredibly naive to not think that such an influx of people would not bring with them an influx of organised crime.

You think this is an unfounded and racial stereotype? Everyday when I'm going to get the train, I'm constantly seeing romanian beggers using their children. I go past these sleazy massage places run by Bulgarians.

Yes, of course most of them aren't like that, but the point is, some will be and so long as some are, that is a massive negative that will defeat the insignificant small positive value the other ones will bring.

The sad thing is, because this is the student room with a lack of real working class people on here, with parents who aren't actually builders trying to compete with a guy who shares a room with 7 other people so they can afford to work ridiculously cheap, then you don't see a problem, you're not personally affected by it.

But let me tell you something, a lot of working class people are. So stop pretending that it's only right wing bigots opposed to this. I'm left wing, I'm working class, and I'm sick to death of middle class people painting this false positive image of bringing a bunch of unskilled people in an already overly populated country.

So basically, britain seems to a f...heaven where no crimes are committed or at least where no native british are doing crimes.
How the f... you know how much positive or negative value the Romanian and Bulgarian immigration will bring? You're dreaming about that during the night? Or?

So there's already crime in Britain, so it's okay for more crime to happen.

How about rather than trying to swear or patronise me, you use some logic.

I said, with a massive influx of people, it is inevitable that there will be some, of course not all, criminals among them. The majority of those hard working people coming from these countries are applying for 'unskilled' work like cleaning. The contributions they will give by tax, therefore, will be dwarfed by the criminal activities of the others.

So my parents should live with 6 other people in a room to compete with the new workers? Please tell me again how the influx of new people are therefore benefiting britains if your suggestion is for people to do this.

Welcome to TSR. Here, when you attempt to debate, you're not simply meant to quote someone with insults riddiled with your outraged emotions that someone may not agree with you, you attempt to counteract their points using logic in order to convince them otherwise.

Please tell me what exactly do these people contribute to the UK economy. A family with 2 adults and a child is a total liability for the state unless it belongs to the middle class due to the various tax breaks, child benefits and free services these people receive. In the current job market it is becoming increasingly hard for the average British person to find a job - why would anybody support an influx of people that are willing to lower the wages of the working class and rob people of the jobs they deserve?

Why is a family of 2 adults and a child a total liability to the state?

If both of them work work for minimum wage they would be entitled to a number of benefits and tax credits. Their contribution would be marginal and would never cover the cost of educating their child in the state school system.

Ignore it.

The UK overwhelmingly benefits from immigration. Even if they did want to do something to reduce it, what would you propose? Leaving the EU would be madness.

I get the impression that Tzili is the kind of person people hate even when they agree with him. Just that kind of person.

The way to solve this problem is simple. Everyone and their dog wants to come to this country. This country is not big enough for so many people.... soo we invade a country and put the new immigrants into this new annexe to prosper under our flag. I'm thinking Iraq and Afghanistan.

Exactly! The whole planet wants to go to UK. Could you believe that? It's a miracle!

Tbh, I don't understand why people aren't chomping at the bit to have their own place and acres of land in the hinterland of Russia. Although Britain has many positives, why get swamped on the Tube every day when you can work and live in a vast, mostly unspoilt country.

The petition has passed 150,000 signatures in only 3 weeks. On the government epetition website you only have to get 100,000 in a year to go to Parliament.

Is it now time for Parliament to deal with this issue or will they just ignore it

How does one have an issue with Romanian or Bulgarian immigration but not Pakitani/ Indian/ Bengali immigration? ... And that's coming from an Asian
