Why are old people so selfish?

You make us pay for education, while your pensions and NHS spending increase. You made houses unaffordable.

Now you take us out of the EU and destroy the future WE wanted for ourselves.

Thanks. Thanks so much.

Oh dear what an unpleasant post about Polish kids they are all the high achievers in my grandkids school and speak better English than many locals

Diversity is the only thing that will make this bleak future of ours any better

I agree BlueBelle. My experience is that Polish and Eastern European children in general are well mannered, cheerful and eager to learn, and their parents do the best they can for them. No doubt there are a few who do not fit this description, but then there are also indigenous British children and parents who don't either.

Unfortunately people have confused the effect of the Governments "austerity" programme with that of immigration! Most of the hardships people experience , unaffordable housing, under investment in education and health cuts to social services etc are NOT down to immigration but are direct policy decisions by a party obsessed with deficit reduction at the expense of any thing else! it's worth remembering it wasn't Polish cleaners and Latvian Dentists who brought our banking sector to it's knees but our home grown city chancers!

Why has this been revived?
Even you response jenpax which I can't take issue with per se is nothing to do with OP's entitled bleating
I thought it had sunk without trace - and good riddance angry

OP, does that huge chip on your shoulder hurt? Is your truly awful ignorance holding you back? Have you broken the plate on which you expect life's goodies to be handed to you? Are you simply bored, or are you stupid? Try accepting responsibility for your own life. But why would you do that when it's so much easier to blame others?

The OP has long gone.

TerriBull Fri 07-Oct-16 09:01:20

The OP never came back once to defend his/her allegations, just made a number of sweeping statements and went confused

Let this thread die......quietly wither away.

This is an instance where GNHQ should be able to close a thread and prevent further posts without deleting it.

I just wonder why, when a post like this ridiculous, bigoted, and immature one appears that anyone bothers to respond. Would it not be better to simply not give any replies thus not giving the poster the attention they crave?
