A beautiful fairy

[johnakay]

A beautiful fairy appeared one day to an immigrant claimant
Outside the Social Security offices.


'My good man,' the fairy said,
'I've been told to grant you three wishes,
Since you have just arrived in England with your wife and seven children.'

The man told the fairy:
'Well, where I come from we don't have good teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.'
The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and -- PING!!!
He had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth!

'What else?' asked the fairy, 'two, more wishes, to go.'
The refugee claimant now got bolder.
'I need a big house in Birmingham, with a three car garage and eight bedrooms for my family
And the rest of my refugee relatives who still live in my country.
I want to bring them all over here.'
PING! - In the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three car garage,
A long driveway, a walkout patio with a BBQ, a sparkling swimming pool and a BMW,
Full of his nephews playing their music.

'One, more wish, left for you,' said the fairy, waving her wand.
'I want to be English with English clothes instead of rags and shawl,
And I want to have white skin like the English.'

PING! - The man was transformed, wearing worn out jeans from ASDA,
A dirty Primark T-shirt and a greasy baseball cap.
He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had disappeared from the horizon.
'What happened to my new teeth?' he wailed.
'Where is my new house? Where is my Visa Gold Card?'

The fairy said:
'Tough luck. Now that you are English,



You're entitled to
Sweet f*** all like the rest of us!'

And she disappeared.

John you are so right, each country has a 'breaking point' as to what, who and how much it can afford to upkeep. In England that was source tapped out back in the early 90s, BUT those in power kept saying 'please come in'
The old saying still holds true, Sense it is but common it isnt.
