Thatchers politics were similar to BNPs,
She wanted to deport everyone of non-British descent?
Not that far, she thought immigrants should wait in a queue behind British nationals before getting a slice of the British pie, but she was happy to sell it to them at a pretty penny.
That is totally removed from what people like Nick Griffin said though. Plus - population who've been living here for much longer should undoubtedly have more rights. It's the same in other countries across the globe, it's just that they don't bend over backwards to support immigrants like we do.
Anyway, comments like "Thatchers politics were similar to BNPs" is just bollocks.
Why should the population who've been living here for much longer have more rights? Nationality is nothing but an accident of birth. what makes a British national who has been here for ten years more eligible for 'rights' than someone whose been here for 4?
Yes it is an 'accident' I suppose if you want to put it like that. It's subjective and a matter of opinion.
I am of the opinion that I am entitled to British healthcare more than lets say, a Polish immigrant because my family contributed towards the creation of the NHS and have been living on these shores for atleast 300 years. They have contributed to the economy of this nation for much longer and some of them fought in two World Wars.
I'm not saying people who haven't lived here for many generations should be
denied anything (this doesn't happen anyway), but in the case of things like social housing or healthcare, Brits should take precedent. Seems fair no? Pretty sure they have a similar system in other countries regardless of ethnicity.
If you go to the Taj Mahal in India, they have a line for foreign people and a line for Indians, and Indian nationals pay a lot less. Mostly this is justified because many of those living in Agra are impoverished, but there are also a ton of more wealthy Indians who go in for less. It's just basic courtesy.
Just think it's common sense really.
