    Respect to the one that just want to stay and work or save and go home to kick start a better life we had a Polish guy in our work his 3 pals left and he was kicked out his house coz he could not afford to keep himself. He never said nothing but i got suspicious so followed him after work and he went to a tent in industrial estate in Glasgow in winter too so i spoke to my wife went to work the next day and told him to pack his stuff into my car coz he was coming home with me and gave him our dining room.He speaks great Scottish now as we taught him.Wanting nothing from him but he kept giving us £400 a month im not rich in cash but put this money away and he was saving up for rent i told him never too leave until he saved £10000 for a deposit for a flat to buy and when he did me and my wife returned his £7000 in digs which he never wanted to but i told him we had never been abroad so he organised me my wife and 3 kids to his mothers home in Poland and now were like family 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️ Give people a chance
  • I am old ish. 20 years ago we never had these problems. Society was more cohesive and less divided. I could still eat strawberries but I guess they were probably a bit more expensive. Mass migration has been an utter disaster for the UK...
  • @Kaiyats
    Britain is too small for this amount of migration
  • @omnitv8187
    Let migrants stay in their countries and fight, or be taken in by neighbouring countries. We owe them nothing.

    You know it's bad when they can't spell Britain in the title.

    I’m a white British single mum on benefits. Let me tell you, I never see Eastern Europeans on benefits. I’ve met people that work in car washes (in suspicious circumstances) I’ve met people that have normal jobs, and one of my best friends has been relatively successful & is well educated. All the people trying to make out that Eastern Europeans are taking our benefits are talking crap. Check the statistics - it’s single mums like me that are on the most benefits. Btw, I HATE being on benefits and trying to get off them is really hard. I’m working and studying and I still feel trapped. But that’s a discussion for another time.
  • I have Albanian people living next door to me and my wife,they are making a lot of noise at night,saying up and I think they sleep most of day. My wife is disabled and in recovery from another serious illness. We have tried to have a polite word but they pretend that they can't understand and laugh it off. It's strange because we helped them a lot in the early days and they was great at understanding the language. It's a shame because the only option we have now is to complain,something that we honestly don't want to do!!

    Why does Vice and most of the "liberal" media continue to intentionally confound legal and illegal immigrants? Most legal immigrants are highly educated or skilled workers, hold good paying jobs (otherwise they would not be granted a visa), contribute via taxes, and generally assimilate well. Illegal immigrants are mostly low skilled, uneducated, do not pay taxes, live off welfare, and do not even try to assimilate. These two groups could not be more different, and yet Vice tries to confuse the viewers by cherry picking statistics.

    "help us, give us some of your shit for free now that we are in your country"...  that's what they all said
  • @Stevensan71
    Thanks for revealing the truth. There are people who think they are going to be rich if they go to the UK.
  • @Bryza25a
    This is actually a pretty good documentary 👏
  • @kershaw1450
    Japan, Korea, China. All of them are nationalistic countries with strict immigration policies. All of Europe needs to adapt to these policies. It's also funny those Asian countries are never called racist even though they are openly anti-multiculturalism.
  • @captainmorga000
    Where are mothers with children and old people??? They're not migrants.They just came for money/benefits.
  • @user-eo8jx7jq4u
    If all the migrants send their wages home, which country is that supporting? Our government has got alot to answer for.

    My mums side of the family fled here in australia to escape the war. my grandad worked a whole day washing cars for some aussies and they never paid him. they just laughed at him and left him. this is happening all around the world and is a big problem.
  • @StalemateNZ
    So immigrants come to Britain, don't know their rights, work illegally, and get taken advantage of. The best solution is to stop this uncontrolled immigration, and only allow migration of people that can find good legal work in Britain. Therefore, brexit is the best thing for the the Romanias and Poles. I don't understand why this doco thinks brexit is the cause of these problems?
  • @MrSkid1970
    The sad thing in all of this,is that many of these people end up being exploited by their own kind!
