The biggest con is from people earning £1, 000/hour convincing people earning £15/hour that the reason for their hardship is people earning £10/hour.

Part of me thinks it wasn't even an asylum seeking family who moved in, with the 'cars and nice clothes and nice phones' - it was just a normal family who happen to be brown, so all the locals are like, 'they must be asylum seekers'

Asylum seekers get about £40 a week, they can't work, and as for free cars....joke. As a benefits adviser, it still amazes me that people still think benefit recipients can claim money for their dogs!! Her only argument is that he is being condescending, when he is just telling her what the reality is.

I grew up with people like her, and the best example I can give is one particular guy, who was married with 3 children, lived in a council mid 70s to this present day has probably only worked, in total, maybe 3 yrs worth of employment...and they were Cash in Hand, whilst claiming and his wife also had 3 holidays abroad each year, whilst on single day, he'd be walking around running his mouth off about foreigners and Asylum Seekers taking his jobs, his money....if it wasn't so harmful/destructive it would be laughable

The greatest trick ever played is convincing everyone that their problems are the fault of those below them, as opposed to those above them.

If her dad is struggling it's not an asylum seekers fault, it's the governments fault

It's alarming that we live side by side with people who think like this

The fact her Dad had to 'stand guard' is the most telling part of this conversation.

A classic case of "Look at them over there - they're the reason you're unhappy'.

I live by a hotel housing immigrants and they are some of the nicest people I've ever met. I wish people would actually get to know people instead of hating them because they've been told to

As an American, it is always shocking to me how similar our countries are. Same tactics of pitting marginalized groups agaisnt one another in order to distract them from collective action.

One of the immigrants in my area have a very flashy BMW.
It turns out that three families with a total of 8 working adults have bought it second hand as a share.
Different men drives it on different days.
My neighbour complains about them having this share car.
The neighbour’s household has 3 cars for 2 people.

So she isn't angry that her father gets a pittance for a pension! Instead, she blames others for his situation!
Doing exactly what the government wants everyone to do. Everyone blames everyone else in society for the government's failings, while they look after themselves. It's almost like they do it deliberately!

Caller: “I do find sometimes that you’re quite condescending…”

James: “I’m sure I am”

This, sadly, is how many people's minds work. Either a friend or family member tells them something, or they observe an individual and generalise that to infinity. The results of not teaching how to think.

Listening to Anna, something REALLY needs to be fixed in the Brit education system - particularly in the area of teaching pupils how to develop critical thought and not believe every piece of garbage they are fed so that when they 'grow up' and become 'adults' they have sufficient common sense to dismiss out of what hand that what 'friends at work in the local council' tell them is in this case complete and utter BS.

I work for a council. Spoiler: we don't give out free cars. To anyone. Regardless, councils have no money to do so, even if they wanted to.

It's so father's plight is a result of the wealthiest in people believe it's the fault of the poorest in the

The genius is how those at the top have managed to convince those at the bottom that those at the very bottom are the cause of all their woes!

I once had a conversation with my brother-in-law about housing, where he blamed *expletive regarding foreigners* for taking all the houses. It felt crazy to me to have to remind a man that has 6 children between two women that foreigners were not the reason for accommodation shortage...
