george3:
Your Polish, unless they’ve given you a polling card, what you think doesn’t matter.
Oh, I already have one for Scotland, so at least in Scotland you have to listen to me obviously
Apart of that I have my vote in European elections (and I can choose if I want to choose from Polish or British candidates).
The point is, though, that this what I gave you is an universal rule in every civilised country - the accused has to be able to defend himself. If that means providing an interpreter for him - that what they do. In all countries where some basic human rights are considered. Therefore you are wrong no matter if I am from Bristol, Przemyśl or Peking.
Our governments incompetence has bankrupt the country. Our government is borrowing billions only to throw it down the drain on foreign aid. Including Zimbabwe, a regime NuLabour claim to despise. President Mugabe lives in a palace with solid gold taps and our government has given him £60 million this year alone.
I am not willing to get into it, but I think Britain owes something to Africa after all this years of exploiting its colonies… I suspect that if the Western World would not get an advantage of the Third World Countries the gap between us would be much smaller. But off course the Mugabe should be gone.
The next government isn’t going to fund NuLabour’s mistakes and whatever bull you read in the paper, the next government is going to cut back on public spending.
Cool. I will be really happy to see less of my taxes wasted. But they will still have to spent on some basic things, and interpreters for the accused people is the basic thing which they can’t remove for reasons I already had given you a few times.
Anyway, I am doing some private jobs as well and they are even better paid then that goverment ones… I don’t mind who pays me as long as I the pay is decent.
Something has to give and as far as I’m concerned it should start with what’s spent on foreign nationals and not what’s taken away from our own old age pensioners.
There was an article recently I read somewhere (probably The Times, but I am not sure) about “cost” of foreigners to the British society. It was shown on Polish example that average Pole pays much more to the common jar then average Brit, while claims much less from there.
Few examples: How many Brits are in working age? Vast majority of Poles in UK are between 18 and 35. There is almost no retired or disabled Polish persons. So we can easily say that vast majority of Poles here are working.
Other example: Poles and Brits are paying the same taxes. Yet over 35% of Brits are claiming some benefits, compared to 7% of Poles in Britain.
The Politicians can say the things you, and others like you, like, to make you vote for them, but when they will come to power they won’t fight the numbers. And numbers say that, altough BNP and the others say different things, the influx of Poles and other EU immigration is a profit for a British budget and a boost for economy (in other words: if not them, you will be much worse off the last credit crunch). So there will be no big change about Poles and other EU immigration (unless the BNP and similar morons will won the elections, but then I will just say “Coat, Hat, Taxi!” and bugger off to France or wherever, and so do the majority of Poles and they you will able to tell “Thank you” for your favourites from BNP…
Yet, still, we both agree about that sometimes spending on foreigners is going too far, but it’s not only about foreigners: the political correctnes etc. in this country is gone mad, and we all know that.
