Their quest to ruin the country has now hit too close to home.
This xenophobic right wing BNP-esque nonsense about immigration caps has now left me with a girlfriend in tears. She’s american, here on a student visa which will expire when she graduates in a few months. She’s fallen in love with the country, doesn’t enjoy living in the States and the UK is now where she calls home, and has previously welcomed her with open arms.
Now they’ve dredged up this “they’ll take our jobs” nonsense that will be the scurge of our country. The UK is what it is because of its multi cultural society with people from all over the world being allowed to pass in relatively easily. They do jobs we can’t, but some of them just want to call it home.
I hate this government.
I hate all the misguided, foolish, ignorant people who voted for them.
I hate the closed mindedness that has led to this situation.
I’m rapidly starting to hate the whole country for suddenly becoming so unpleasant a place to live in the last 6 months.
They will ruin everything. The NHS, the Forests, the Industry, the Railways, the country’s safety (anyone notice the cuts to flood defences today) and destroy the poor whilst allowing the rich to carry on as normal.
Has anyone got any advice on what options there are for her being allowed to stay? She’s considering a master’s which would give another year but beyond that we’re not sure how employable she is. I know when I was in Australia my housemate found himself in the situation of being left no option to marry his girlfriend of 3 years because he apparently lacked any “useful” skills and the relationship til it was under holy matrimony was not a good enough excuse.
(I’m loathe to use the words end rant because I don’t really find it funny enough…)
