Trump - Ban all Muslims

[FatLazyContractor]

British culture is the NHS. It's welcoming people no matter what their background. It's providing support for those who genuinely need it.
.

And what? Donald Trump converted to Islam?

Everyone has their individual views. Mine is simple, they are welcome if they work. Tax credits and Benefits should be reserved for individuals that are born in the UK. Some immigrants abuse the system and come here solely for our benefits which is completely wrong, others come to earn an honest living and build a better life for their families and I respect that.

It is also about openness and freedom of the press in holding those in power to account.

ooh me ribs

Right, like not being allowed to know which MPs have been ripping off expenses (again).

The poor beggars might be "stigmatised" allegedly.

No

You have ignored the part of British culture that allows people to disagree with each other and hold different views, then rip the p*ss out of each other.

What happens if someone comes here at one month old and stays here for the rest of their life. Are they not allowed benefits if they fall on hard times during their working life?

Nope

that's just being pedantic.

That is very much part of it

[NotAllThere]

No. You made a stupid generalisation and are being called out on it. What about refugees who've been granted indefinite leave to remain? What about people who after fulfilling the criteria, become naturalised citizens? What about refugees who've been granted a short term leave to remain (until conditions in their home country settle down)? What about people who come here at 30 years old, work for 15 years, and then get laid off because their job has been outsourced to India?

Being born in the UK doesn't event automatically grant citizenship, so your individual view is even more dumb and ill-thought out.
