Yes, freedom of speech but you're breeching the rules on here - you can think whatever you like but I have contributed more here than many British I know of. Not only I am so highly educated that no British even tried to run for the position I have (academic one) but I have also worked voluntarily outside my academic work using my other skills and knowledge to improve situation in the community. I've paid a lot of tax and have contributed in other ways as well and feel I am fully entitled to ask for help when I truly need it.
Yet I do understand how some of you may feel as I do see some foreigners taking advantage of the system - I sometimes translate as well and indeed I find it disgusting. When I suspected the fraud I reported it. But that's how it is - there are some rats among every group of people and I certainly see a lot of British abusing the system in many ways as well, which doesn't make me think that everyone's like that.
I'd appreciate impartial advice and comments as that's the reason behind this site.
Thanks to those who actually understand it.0 -
I should also say that I was headhunted back on the continent for my first job in this country and decided to embark on sth I saw as an adventure. I left this job long time ago but decided to stay for personal reasons. No country is a paradise but fortunately most of us are able to relocate if we wish to and I would feel ashamed if someone was judgemental or treated others with disrespect only as they are foreigners in my country.0
