The other day, I complained about some issues at my daughter’s school. To my great amazement I was told that as I was only a guest in this country I should be thankful that my daughter was allowed to attend schools in the first place, and that I should not be allowed to make any complaints whatsoever.
So just to clarify
In my business, I employ English people and give them jobs
As my business gets revenue from overseas, it brings money to the UK
I spend my earnings here
I pay all my taxes in the UK
So in short, I give the UK much more than I take from it, and much more than many native UKians do.
I never asked for a preferential treatment. But if you want to treat me differently, just remember that I am not a guest here. I am a paying customer.

My mouth actually fell open on reading that!
Bloody cheek! But then I know someone who works at an extremely stressful job requiring phenomenal dedication and who has the kind of qualifications that mean she could walk into a high paid corporate job even in this climate. Instead she choses to do work she feels is of benefit to the community and for which she is paid a laughable pittance.
On chasing up why she hadn't received the extremely small increment in her wage that it had gone up by for a number of months - she was told that she was 'only being paid out of the goodness of their hearts' and should be grateful for anything!!!
There are some total brainless dollops out in the world who have a very skewed idea of how the world works.
I like to think that eventually it will turn round and bite them on the rotund wobbly protuberance from which they invariably make their idiotic pronouncements!
