[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 10803, member: 33"] I don't know what it's like in other countries but in the UK our Conservative government likes to blame immigrants and those meddling foreigners in the EU for it's own failings. For example, immigration into the UK has risen since the conservatives came to power and they are blaming the EU free movement but immigration from outside the EU has gone up faster than it has for many years. House prices are soaring in the UK and this has being blamed on immigrants reducing the available supply but the truth is that our right wing government has built fewer houses than previous governments. They are blaming immigrants for driving down wages by undercutting native Britons but it was David Cameron who kept the minimum wage to a low level and it still remains significantly below the level where people can have a decent standard of living. Waiting lists in the NHS are soaring and our right-wing government is blaming "health tourists" and immigrants flooding the services but this is just a deflection from their government cuts in funding the health care. School class sizes are rising and our Conservative government are blaming immigrants for taking school places rather than their cuts to the education budgets (cuts incidentally they made to fund tax cuts for the rich). Whatever the failing of our Conservative government they will blame immigrants. Is it any surprise that xenophobic attacks are soaring in the UK? [/QUOTE]
