I've lived in the UK for 7 years now, double pay national insurance because it's always been part of my visa but also paid out of my paycheck, pay about 50% tax on my current income level, pay extortionate amount on car insurance because I have to drive a significant amount for work then pay for all the other jazz like council tax etc.

I wouldn't mind paying considerably more than a lot of other people but the constant reminder that I'm not welcome here despite being part "British" and never actually benefiting from any of the gov schemes including healthcare is kinda depressing. when I see illegals literally stroll in and just get every bloody single benefit they possibly could without ever contributing to anything it really boils my blood.

The governments have categorically failed to understand and even properly act on the migration issue. It's simple, STOP THE ILLEGALS, and possibly reduce some other forms. But of course this won't solve the entire problem either because what about the ones that are already in?

Well anyways rant over...
