    I got mine, fuck everyone else. And a wish to appease locals.

    I’m not sure about people from their home countries, but I’m a migrant and I don’t really like “my people”. I’m ethnically Russian (even though I’ve never been to Russia) and I don’t want to see more Russians in the UK. Most of them who come here are oligarchs or their relatives and friends, they are obnoxious, pro war and pro Putin, loud and aggressive. Do you really want these people? Yes, there are good Russian people who are trying to flee Putin’s regime, but they rarely have enough resources to get to the UK. They usually get settled in countries closer to Russia, like Georgia and Finland.

      You’re not the only one, I used to think I’m the only one that cannot stand my ethnic group but after conversations with others, turns out no one else can either! We judge our own much harsher, and I do not know why.

        It’s not that I can’t stand my ethnic group, it’s just that most of those who get into London are bloody dickheads.
