The government needs to understand the real anguish of poverty and the rise of anti-migrant sentiment

Yes, the reaction cannot be rioting, violence and throwing bricks at the police. It also cannot be MPs saying their blood boil when they see black & brown people on TV commercials (while ok with 99% toilet cleaners and menial job holders being black & brown). BUT, when you watch a recent BBC programme that showed an Iraqi people smuggler who was jailed in France, saunter around serving customers in a convenience store in the UK, without a work permit and claims not to work, and you see these programmes airing with multiple cases, it is easy to see why people are fed up!

I do not believe Brits will be rioting if there are 10, 100 or even 1000 of these instances of people exploiting our system and taking the piss! But when it has now become such a large-scale enterprise of boat-loads of people wading into the country, working without the right to, doing all sorts, it becomes a topic that can be used to whip up a frenzy and get crowds onto the streets to protest and some resort to violence!

There is nothing new about people coming into the UK illegally. It happens. It has been happening for decades. Nobody rioted nor protested about those isolated cases. It is the present industrial scale of it, that has now become a matter that’s getting people to use it as a tool to rip us apart and cause violence. Sadly, poverty is a core factor. If we can create more jobs and get people working and thriving, our infrastructure should be able to cope. And ultimately, the government (and governments across Europe) will find a way to end illegal entries into the country. It should never be a matter leading to violent protests; we are Great Britain!!! not some undeveloped country!
