Like I didn’t already do that;)Love it or leave it Scotland the bigotted
There have been times after I left Scotland to come to the USA when I encountered opinions relating to immigration that were so distasteful, racist and unsupported by facts , feelings seemed to be a “suitable” replacement , that it was fun to poke fun at my newly adopted country predicated on the mistaken belief that the majority ( and I may be being unfair here since to hold this message board to be a fair representation of Scottish political thinking is doing a disservice to both ) of people don’t hold those views which after my last visit home and to Ireland suggest I’m wrong.
So I think I have covered the objection ” if you don’t like it leave” and you can add in “We’re glad you left too “, if it helps (comment 101, the worst comment in the world?, from Dougie)
It’s amazing how many seem to be concerned with “them” taking jobs, houses, services etc yet the though about whether it’s ethical / moral to even provide them in the first place. ( rehab ? You are going to argue that removing money from the taxpaying population to pay for another’s choice to harm themselves is ,oh I forgot you’re socialists it makes perfect sense, which is why I left the place.
Most of the people around me wanted to do nothing but exist with some money ( maybe even working to get it) to get rat -arsed at the weekend,rinse, repeat and to do otherwise was seen as , apart from my immediate family , suspicious.
On the whole I contend that most migrants are not here to take anything from you other than your pride and maybe that’s what hurts the most decades of taking care of people has left many of those that won’t attend to their needs requiring assistance from those that can regardless of their origin.
