Taxes paid by British people should be for British people!!

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Every day we are told by the Government that austerity measures are needed to bring the national debt under control. Councils are struggling to cope and many British people are struggling to make ends meet (cuts to disability, tax credits) and yet millions are being spent on immigrants.
Taxes raised from British people do not belong to the Government and MP's they are to pay for the services and infrastructure which British people need. They are not paid to be given away to immigrants/asylum seekers for taxi's, hotels etc. British people should be given priority with Council Housing, doctors, dentists etc, which isn't happening at the moment as immigrants/asylum seekers are given priority. This needs to change!
