Re: Why move to Canada?
The problem is being sure that they are from these ethnic groups. Perhaps having different colour stars or triangles that each group could wear at all times would make the task easier?

This seems such a good system, I can't believe no one's come up with it before. It really would make choosing the correct racial slur so much easier. As we all know, there's nothing worse than shouting out " f**k off home you lazy Polish ****", only to find out later the chap was Bulgarian!

So tell me if say Vitenamese boat people starting turing up on Canadain shores, simply said "political asylum" ......would the be given homes, money, medical+ other benfits and a entry permit? What if you stsrted gettig thousands every week? Think you could cope with it?

Re: Why move to Canada?
i wasn't aware I was trying to get into Canada to simply sit on my arse and sponge off your taxes...... I would never expect and I wouldn't do it.
My point is the thousands that are flooding into the UK every day simply to do this.......you guys do not see what is happening here.... Re-read and stop with this B*S* about us "workers" trying to emmigrate.

Some of your points i agree with, but surely an immigrant sponging of the state is no different than a British Citizen doing the same?

B*S*.............absolute hogwash. I know every country has a problem but not 5% of what "benefit Britain" has.
That is what happens. I cope with it well except that sometimes the anecdotes of concentration camp escapes, relatives left behind, fear of returning, get a bit samey. I've seen the Killing Fields, I don't know that I need to hear the same tale from myriad people.

Why what difference does it make? If they are Aisian spongers, Eastern Europeans, African,.. a sponger is a sponger who gives a f***? It's the fact they are sponging that annoys me NOT where they come from.

Re: Why move to Canada?
are you kidding me?
Seriously....you ask this? May I ask how old you are?
you see when man with 6 kids and 12 family members comes to UK under "politial asylum" and is given a £150,000 house, free medical and £1,000 per month for food and clothes etc....where do you think they get that money from ? The Tooth fairy? TAXES.......VAT?
You know we pay £1.14 a litre of petrol now and over 80% of that is tax....
Seriously man this a stupid question!

Funny how you ignored this part of my post which would have told you what annoyed me about spongers isn't it?
I have Nigerian friends....they work, contribute, no problem. That's what it is all about.

Maybe you should come visit, or try Bunac or something first!
And the tax on fuel is there to discourage its use for environmental reasons. Trust me, its a good thing in the long term compared to a 2.5 liter car being considered "economical" in the land of the 5.3liter V8 truck.
People posting here actually live in Canada and are trying to help you, dont get chippy with them!

What you are not taking into account is that these so-called spongers are contributing to society in other important ways. Think how empty our shopping precincts or pubs would be on a weekday? It's basic post-Keynesian economic theory.

Re: Why move to Canada?
Where have you got these figures about "thousands"? And why do you keep putting quotation marks around the words political asylum as though it's a fake concept?
