ONE love, blood, life
MATE
I payed for my degree. I'm now doing a Masters which i funded myself, by working and saving.
My family is not rich. I'd say I am lower middle class now (however you define it) but my grandparents worked in factories when they first arrived, facing racial abuse. My mum worked permanent nights in a factory which she hated and it had massive impact on her health, but she had to do it to pay the bills. My dad has no qualiifcations but he has woked for the last 35 years. Me and my bro are the first to go to uni in our entire family.
No handouts in my family (thats why i hate Labour, they help undeserving chavs) When i was at school (16-18), i applied for £30 a week grant for students. I was told i dont fit into the threshold.
Instead all the dumb ass kids who got no qualifications were rewarded with £30 a week to turn up to school. It takes the piss. £30 a week, if saved, would have helped at uni. I owe no one anything and have no intention of helping others.
I am from a family of immigrants. I am British born and think that despite its problems (chavs), the UK is one of the greatest places to live in the world. I live in the arsehole of Britian, the West Midlands. I went to a shitty school where attainment levels are low. No one else in the 65 year history of my school went to a uni ranked as high as mine or got my grades.
I am 100% British and always will be no matter what anyone else tells me. But to say i'd die for my country, no chance.
I love Britain. It has given me a great standard of living. I've been to other places and thought 'living in uk is like winning the lottery'
I look down on certain people as i despise how they behave. They beg in the street at 2pm, drunk, asking for 20p. Not my duty to help them. When i walk past and ignore them, i get greeted with the response 'fucking arab shit'
Then there is the kids who know no boundaries, why should i respect them?
I wouldnt fight for UK as i dont want to get hurt. Simple as that.
What i said about most people not being fully evolved i take back. It's probably only 25%. But 25% too many
It's funny, people will criticize your post (hating their own hypocrisy, perhaps) but this is one of the most honest posts I've seen here.
I agree with you about New Labour, they have f***ed Britain. I despise everything New Labour stands for.
