Of course we do the Daily Mail told me so
I have no problem with the money, its the infrastructure. we just cannot cope with more and more people and traffic etc in the cities and towns. maybe if we built new towns like we used to then it would not be so much of a problem.
Agreed and it’s cause parents don’t actually care. I don’t mean that in a bad way but I think world book day is an inconvenience to a lot of parents. I was listening to a podcast of two women who could be classed as influencers but are tv personalities and world book day, they sent their kids in in toy story outfits, or princesses or Spider-Man. There was no thought because they either forgot or were too busy. Then on top of that, the kids of parents who do actually make the effort to follow the rules end up going in dressed up because they see their friends as superheroes/princesses and want to do that. Any kid would rather go in dressed as a their favourite character than dressed up as James and the giant peach
But those people are coming and will happily do jobs like fruit picking and poorly paid labour that we all benefit from, but no one else wants to do
so I would say we can cope with themMy son’s school don’t do the dressing up thing. It’s just down as a non-uniform day and they can bring in a fave book, with lots of book related activities throughout the day eg, older children reading to the younger classes etc. The school are good in that way as they understand not everyone has the time or money to make/buy costumes for their children, so no one feels left out.Agreed and it’s cause parents don’t actually care.

Schools would be better off scraping the dressing up and just doing an actual event in school.
Rather than wait for a reply to my question I 'did my own research'. Sources www.gov.uk and Eurostat. Asylum applications in 2021:Of course we do the Daily Mail told me so
A lot of the asylum seekers also come here because the UK has a very good human rights record and they think they will be treated well. It’s unfortunate that the current political climate exists then or that people think that they live in 5 star hotels
I could probably write a whole essay with sources or insights as I normally do but it doesn’t seem to make much difference to people’s attitudes
It’s not just about the jobs. Where do they live? Where do the kids go to school? Where do they get medical services?But those people are coming and will happily do jobs like fruit picking and poorly paid labour that we all benefit from, but no one else wants to do
Yeah but we have thousands of people here in the uk illegally that we don’t know about!
Depends on whether they are able to apply for the right to work, in most cases they are because there are massive delays in processing right nowBut those people are coming and will happily do jobs like fruit picking and poorly paid labour that we all benefit from, but no one else wants to do

I mean that sentence in itself proves my point. It is subtle racism, and these people are fleeing war zones and hostile countries. I bet you were happy for Ukrainian refugees to come over? It’s just the Daily Mail scare mongering about certain ethnic minorities and people lap it up.
No I was actually just going to say, I don’t think it’s appropriate for the influx of Ukrainians. It’s not about “certain ethnic minorities” - im
That rather begs the question that if "we don't know about them" how do we know about them? Do we know that other countries know or don't know about illegal immigrants in their countries.
No im not confused. And FYI my grandparents were immigrants into the UK, and I myself have worked and lived in various places overseas so please spare me your sanctimonious nitpicking and implications that you think I’m some sort of xenophobic grand wizard.
Provided with housing ?
Same! My boys love it, we usually go to the charity shops and find random things to try and put their costumes together so it’s usually good fun finding and making it too and they love bringing their characters to life. I appreciate not everyone has the time to do that but I must say I’ll really miss it when they’re too old and don’t want to do it anymore lol.
for uncle maybe, but for many parents yet another hassle to think and worry about. I see a lot of stressful request on FB selling/ free sites. Why not just "bring your favourite book" day
No of course not, you just think that the government prioritises immigrants "over and above people who were born here".
Indeed. They don't even know if the people are vaccinated half the the time, they just assume any death of someone younger than age 60 is highly likely to be vaccine related - unless the cause is very obvious - eg suicide or cancer.
