Doesnt the immigrants pay the same taxes as uk citizents? Sincere question, I really dont know. From what I`ve read in local media it seems like foreign workers pay the same taxes and have the same benefits as uk citizens. I read an interview with bulgarian student in london and she said that a lot of immigrant workers are afraid that the british government is trying to make it so immigrants pay the same taxes, but have much more limited benefits like healthcare and so. This, if true, sounds to me like a good way to keep foreigners away.

How has anyone here been elitist? Do you even know what that word means?

I never said anyone on TL is, I mean the same people who are on benefits when they don't have to be( as in perfectly healthy) and then will go to great lengths to ensure nobody that isn't from the UK can work in the UK.

I don't get this blog... there are people in the UK who dislike people from other less developed europen nations coming here to work, right or wrong they are entitled to an opinion.
If this is something that offends you or you don't like, then don't come and work here? If Bulgarians are super great and super awesome, shouldn't you be working in your own country, helping your own economy?

I personally don't mind most immagrants who move here for work, as most of them are harder working that most of the white 'working class' british nationals...

but this blog makes almost no sense

I am a hard working, honest citizen and I feel angry and powerless whenever I tell an Englishman where I come from and see his reaction. We're not all the same, and it saddens me to know that because of a stigma upon my country, I may get differential treatment.
Try putting yourself in my place when seeing those posters and tell me it doesn't hurt.

Ok I know I'm really late to this blog but what the OP doesn't realise is that the posters are jokes, making fun of a government idea to use negative advertising about our own country to dissuade potential immigrants. These posters aren't malicious, they're satire of the kind of xenophobic attitudes you describe. Not all Englishmen are short sighted enough to despise immigrants.
