    If you're going to whine at least whine about the 'foreigners' who took the better jobs you could have got into. They're earning several times more than you can in your entire life. :D

    You are very bitter.

    I do have some contructive advice for you, it would help you and financially be of benefit to you.

    But you know what, your bitterness and blame for others that YOU find yourself in prevents me from helping.

    Being a type of donkey is what's probably preventing you.

    To quote Carrie Fisher (yes the Princess from Star Wars) :

    “Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. ”

    I would be the first person to criticise the OP. In fact I was. But this isn't helpful. You are lowering yourself to their level. And you are generally better than that!

    The OP was wrong. And an apology rather than an excuse would have shown them to be a better person. Noting that one post here was deleted by the forum team for similar racism could have been a hint.

    Unfortunately I see a lot of this racism in the UK. It doesn't commend us. But it stems from ignorance. Challenge it yes. But don't withhold help if you can give it. I can't. I don't know enough. If you can, please do. If not on their asking, would you do it for mine? I deplore the racism exhibited by the OP. But I also don't want to see a family struggle just because someone is ignorant.

    I didn't mention it before, but I do fail the habitual residence test because of many years spent abroad. Working in war zones and disaster areas. I was born in the UK. I have never been out of work. I am entitled to nothing.And I wouldn't trade it for a seconds worth of benefits. But if you could help me, I hope you would. So I am asking - by all means criticise the OP for their racism, but if you can help, do.
  • OMG - Cannot believe everyone is not looking at the "relevant query" but nitpicking at what is totally irrelevant.
    To you all - I apologise if I have offended those looking to be offended - it was not intended - in hindsight I should've put "others", but as a "newby" didn't realise how many would jump on a "not there offence".
    I've always admired MSE but will certainly never post anything again following the abuse & totally rubbish advice I've received!
    So - to all you "nitpickers" out there who are probably saying "good riddance" - go find someone else to nitpick on!!!! I shall watch from a distance. LOL xxxxxx

    I have given you the answer, twice. On both occasions you have ignored what I have said.

    Almost like you don't want help ...

    OMG I cannot believe that you are so stupid that you cannot see your offence when it it was pointed out to you - and then you went on to make it again after it was pointed out. If you think that overt racism - which by the way is against forum rules, and the only reason why you were not reported, unlike the other poster whose post was removed, was because you were a newby, and it is better to point out the offence than to report in the first instance - is ok, and that people should just ignore it, then you are not ignorant, you are just plain racist.
