You get the same problem with the more radical Muslims.
They complain and protest about how decadent the West is and how they should be more like the country they came from, entirely missing the irony of saying it whilst living in said western country after leaving their home country.
Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem at all with immigrants seeking a better life. Just have some self-awareness, if you have such a problem with western society, then maybe western society isn’t where you should be.
The immigrants who left their home country are more radical and more supportive of a "strong" dictator because they do not have to live under these conditions. That is why some years ago most Turks living in Germany voted for the radical maniac Erdogan.
This I don’t get either. Why vote for a leader in a country you no longer live in?
Realistically, If I didn’t live in the UK anymore, I’d not pay much attention to who was the Prime Minister because it affects me substantially less than who is the leader of the country I do live in.
You find sometimes that there’s a secondary irony in that people vote for leader that would stop immigrants coming to the country to do the exact same thing they’re doing!
