Immigrants

Why do many British people hate hard working foreign people?

Opinions?

I think the way the media treats immigrants is disgusting and I fully support you and your endeavours.

Agreed. The media seems to have an agenda which demonises hard working people and worships the rich and "successful."
and just how many of people claiming stories like yours do you expect the UK to admit entry to, though?

Most media doesn't - only some tabloids. *cough cough* ᴰᵃᶦᶫʸ ᴹᵃᶦᶫ *cough*

When decent media outlets such as the BBC provide unbiased stats, for instance showing how most people on benefits are in employment/seeking employment, most immigrants contribute more than they take etc. they are called left-wing and biased.

Then their funding is cut and the license fee debate rages on.

There is no mainstream anti immigrant rhetoric in the UK. The system is out of control which is why people complain and they are correct to complain.

It's like saying a person with a leaking tap only cares about the leak because he hates water.

Your English is clearly good enough to understand paragraphs, please use them and repost.

They don't understand how much work it is for us Somalis to walk thousands of miles, get through the channel tunnel, get registered, fill in asylum forms,claim benefits and get our many of our families people to England, then work out how to send the money home. There are even risks of people taking the money from my family in Somalia so it could be all for nothing.

Only someone who has done it would understand.

When you have a national newspaper that has over a million readers publishing an article comparing immigrants to cockroaches then you clearly have a mainstream anti immigration rhetoric. And it's not just the sun, an example of the sheer scale of the anti immigration rhetoric by the media is in 2003 the daily express published 22 negative front pages about asylum seekers and immigrants in a single 31 day period. It's no wonder that by now so many people have strong anti immigration views.
A UN human rights chief recently confirmed that there had been decades of sustained verbal attacks on immigrants and asylum seekers by the British tabloids .http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2015/apr/24/katie-hopkins-cockroach-migrants-denounced-united-nations-human-rights-commissioner

It is true that the UK can't possibly accommodate all the migrants who want to come into the country but instead of mindlessly demonising them we need to work out why these people are fleeing from their lands in such large numbers and what our government can do to help prevent this problem. And this involves avoiding illegal wars, not participating in the destabilisation of other countries and not supplying arms to human rights abusers.

It's like complaining about a leaking tap without finding out why the tap is leaking in the first place

It's a silly argument because a vast proportional of the 'immigrants' coming from Libya are not Libyan, but are deliberately travelling into the country from sub Saharan Africa to get to Europe and the UK.

They are welfare migrants, who have dozens and dozens of safe countries to go to, but they choose to deliberately travel into war zones in their efforts to reach Europe and UK in particular.

They are welfare 'migrants' in other words.

Get rid of the tap, get rid of the problem.

Most of the British people who disdain immigrants are those of 'low quality' to put it in a nice way, they allege that immigrants steal their jobs etc when we just provide competition. Immigrants are an easy demographic to vilify and hence bandwagons of misinformation and incompetency persist as more 'low quality' British people lose their jobs to immigrants

Settled post world war 2 immigrant populations have much higher unemployment rates than 'native' Britons. Are these the 'low quality' people you are talking about?
Yeah, I wonder why some people have a problem with mass population replacement going on all throughout Europe. Could it be that some people think genocide is a bad thing? The only result of multiculturalism will be violence. Multiculturalism is a religion of white genocide.
