Immigration Problems

Now I have many foreign friends, have done plenty of travelling and have people I love and care about all over the world.

However, I have for a long time been saying that the UK has been used as the dumping grounds of the world, especially Europe and Africa, and that it would one day become a case of me being in the minority.
Well, I am very sad to say that the day has arrived and I am still in my early 30's.

I live in Kent, the closest of the 92 UK counties, or 39 English counties, to mainland Europe.

The Medway towns is the most densely populated group of towns / cities in Kent, thus Medway is the most densely populated region in Kent.

In the Medway towns there are about 112 schools, and having contacts / associates in the council I am now aware of how bad the immigration problem has become.

When I say immigration, I mean the RECENT immigration problem, not the fact that there are non-white people living in the UK who were born and raised here, I mean the fresh-off-the-boat and can't speak a word of English kind of immigrant.

I have never had a problem with genuine hardship cases who come to the UK to find work, a better life and try to become British. But, I cannot stand the people who come here, have no intention of looking for work, have no interest in learning out language or culture, who demand benefits for everything and who are contantly saying that it should be more like "their country back home".

I have only one thing to say about THOSE kinds of people, and that is, "If home was so much nicer then do us all a favour and F**K **F back there, cos we certainly don't want you here and your ruining it for the rest of us who actually quite like it, or at least we did til you and your was ilk came along".

The Medway Towns with its 110 (or so) school has at least 5 of the UK's worst schools. This is a number that is higher than any other region in the UK, even when compared to larger populated areas with over 500 school, there is still no other area that has 5 of the UK's worst in its catchment zone.

There is a school where over 57% of all the pupils are immigrants, and this is not a specialist school but a normal, run-of-the-mill state run school.

There is a school where there are over 50 separate languages spoken in the school.

There is a school where a single classroom has 1 teacher and 6 interpreters for each lesson.

There is a school where 40% of all the pupils come from families that are travellers, with no fixed abode, no proper set of records and where the pupils never stay long enough to get a complete education or complete exams at the end of their final year.

And all these are DIFFERENT schools in the Medway area.

The problem is even more hard to see, as to protect and offer anonimity to individual children, if a school has less than 5 of a certain language or ethnic background it is not allowed to include them in any kind of statistical makeup of the school, and thus the only way you know that they exist is by adding up the numbers of all the the groups and counting how many are missing from the total number of puils.

This huge immigration problem is not as much of a problem over much of the rest of the UK, which is much further away from Kent and from their prospective its all one big NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard).

Because we had so few MP's representing us, and we have to show to the whole world how generous, accepting, tolerant and welcome to all that the UK is, parts of Kent are not just becoming but have actually already become overrun with immigrants.

The walk from the train station to my mothers house is a short and direct three minute walk, but taking that journey every time means going past groups or individuals and these days it is a rare occurance when I can even accurately guess what language they are speaking.

This is a problem that historically has affected too few of the UK people and thus they have chosen to ignore it, but of course the problem didn't go away and instead as it was passed over and unchecked it has now got to where it is of epidemic proportion and there is nothing that the good old english folk from kent can do about it.

Kent was once called the Garden of England, but now the beauty and greenery is gone and all that's left is a multiracial junkyard where nothing works properly anymore, nothing makes sense and before you can even try and get on with your neighbours you have to identify and learn the language of the week, which of course will be replaced before the year is out with yet more strangers speaking foreign tongues.

I do not recognise the Gillingham of my youth, it is gone now and forever with the only remnants being glimpses in my mind and in the family photo album.
