    One slum is too many. One ghetto is too many.    I totally agree, but you have to realise that the place was a slum BEFORE Immigrants arrived. My grandmother grew up in West Bromwich, a coal town in an area known as the black country, and the place was a disgusting rat-infested hellhole back in the 20's. All our industrial cities have huge slum districts where the poor lived while they worked on the rich's factories .       I'm not going to attempt a guess at the percentage of people on welfare who are collecting because foreigners are holding jobs.    I'd attempt a guess at the percentage of people on welfare because they're lazy (I'd issue a string of swearwords here, but as I understand this board doesn't like cursewords too much) people. They'd prefer to have like 8 children and collect welfare for each of them instead of working. Need a new TV? Have another kid! The people doing this aren't just white though - I see black families with the same idea. Instead of educating themselves, they CHOOSE to be unemployed. I mean I personally have to work due to having little money, and I don't have trouble getting jobs (had three in the last year - Shopwork, Loan Collecter, Barman), AND studying, so again I fail to see what their problems are. If it's a problem with having so many bloody kids then they could always have some adopted - or not have 'em all in the first place. In my opinion the country shut cut down heavilly on welfare and that'd solve a lot of problems - yes, in the immigrant world too, cut down on welfare for everyone. The only people entitled to it are the elderly who've worked all their lives for the country heh -_-.       Or what percentage of foreigners are on welfare.    So they're taking our jobs AND are on welfare? Dastardly johnny foreigner!       You disgust me in your comfort of these conditions.    I really don't mind them. I'm pretty poor and there's not much I can do about that, so I kind of HAVE to live in ****ty slum areas, hence why I'm studying law to change my predicament - not that I mind living where I do heh, it's actually currently a step up from where I was living in Birmingham. I fail to see why other white slum dwellers don't do the same.
