just because it used to be the other way round ( to a very small extent ) doesnt make it right gazlan
Now where did i say it was…? show me.
If you cross the British border illegally you get a job, a driver’s licence, social security card, welfare, access to a free human rights lawyer, credit cards, subsidised rent or a loan to buy a house, free education, free health care, a lobbyist in parliament and in many instances you can vote!
Of course, not all will recognise a crock of sh~~it when they see it….name one ` illegal immigrant ` that has had these benfits, welfare maybe… is it not welfare that distinguishes this civilised country from the `barbarians`…… :!:
Let me see if I understand all this…
:-
Worrying about immigration is a bit like Canute trying to hold back the tide. Every country that has had an empire will be mixed. Those you colonize always colonize you in turn, its social evolution.
When people in this country recognize that the ` English` are nothing more than a mongrel race that have sown seeds in all corners of this world, they will be at ease when those lost children seek out their fore-fathers
Whats the point in being bitter!

They really can be cant they !!
Gazlan you need a spanking!!
So whats the conclusion of this thread?
Without a constant influx of people from other societies and countries, this country would be all the poorer. We have been “invaded” by… and forgive me if they are out of order… cro magnon man, the romans, the vikings, the anglo saxons and a few others…. ok from that time on people tried and failed… and this country went out into the world and did a fair bit of invading itself.
I think what people don’t want is to lose their cultural identity, and if too many people arrive on our shores too quickly, our infrastructure is stretched to breaking point. This has happened in the past but sorted itself out over time, and I am sure it will happen again, however, the population of the british isles is now over £70 million! thats a massive number of people for such a small group of islands.
But as people arrive here, people also leave.
What isn’t publicised so well is the rate at which people are actually leaving.
The number of people leaving the UK for 12 months or more reached a record high in 2008, with an estimated 427,000 people emigrating. This was up from 341,000 in 2007 and 398,000 in 2006. This rise was as a result of a 50 per cent increase in
non-British citizens emigrating from 169,000 in 2007 to 255,000 in 2008. Just over half of the 86,000 increase were citizens of the A8 Accession countries which joined the EU in 2004.Can’t find the figures for 2009, but the numbers are still going up apparently.

This is so true.
Invading countries and imposing your own culture, social/economic and religious practises etc will inevitably involve the biting of the oh-so responsible hand that fed.
Others call it karma. I blame Gladstone and Cro-Magnon man, but mainly Gladstone.
rant over.
Gazlan you need a spanking!!
