I am British (join the Rant)
I will provide nursery school palces to the children of illegal immigrants, but not those of taxpaying residents.
As Prime minister, I will sign away our countries right to decide on taxation, when to go to war, pensions, and anything else I can think of to a bunch of faceless beaurocrats in another country.
I will allow the burglar to sue me for damages, when he strains himself picking up my Widescreen TV.
I will jail a speeding driver for 2 years, but a rapist for 18 months(or less).
I will give the Police extra money for catching speeders, but not murdrers.
I will shut the pub at 11.00pm as you are not grown up enough to drink later than that unless you want to go into a noisy nightclub.
anyone for any more?

I am a traveller/Gypsy. It is my heritage to move my 100 family members onto your land, use it as a dump, a toilet, a storage area for stolen goods. And you must go to court at your expense, and then use the police at taxpayers expense to get me to move onto someone elses land.

I am a petrol pump. I will charge you plenty more for fuel than anywhere else in the world. Most of my proceeds do not go to the oil companies.

I'm a minority in the UK, but I'm British, and
proud of it, I will fight and give my lifeto defend your country. Let me
work hard, raise my children to respect others and authority, try and
go the extra mile to show that i am responsible and have a work ethic, I
will look after and support my parents without them being a burden to
taxpayers, I will create new jobs, businesses, uphold law and order,
staff your hospitals, old peoples home, disabled centres, schools.
I
will take on the menial low paid jobs, but expect my children to work
hard at school to become the next generation of teachers pharmacists,
lawyers, doctors, engineers.
But,
still I will allow you to look at me
with contempt because of my colour or my appearance.

Now this is interesting.......because this could equally be written by a British Immigrant upon arrival in Canada.
Frankly speaking, no country is perfect, all these problems you will find in Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc.
People from Eastern Europe move to the UK for a better life, Brits move to Canada/Australia/New Zealand for a better life.....everyone is essentially chasing a dream.
The UK is probably no worse than other western democracy in terms of crime rates, taxation, immigrants etc.
If you really want to emmigrate, make sure it is for better weather, otherwise you'll be just as disappointed with your new country.
No offence intended.

So so true....equally so for any immigrant in any country without millions to invest however.
