its the lilly white small minded folks in the small space of the UK that have it all backwards. Unfortunately changes are a coming fast. The dirty old Victorian Britain of the 1800's are gone forever in history books.

The Empire is dead, with its almost 100% foreign operated corporations in the UK, the UK has become just another branch of put it together country where folks work directly or indirectly for foreign corporations who (it seems) pay almost zero tax and any profits leave the UK. Of course Government employees & those on benefits are excluded as working for foreign corporations at the taxpayers expense.

Living in the past doesn't work. Step up to the mark, move forward with the rest of the world otherwise you'll get left behind

When people drop the line..."all these people coming over here", who do you think they are referring to...caucasians?
Pretty sure your average Hungarian or Latvian would probably be "caucasian" but I doubt they get a pass because of it.

The irony

Oh wait, but it's different innit because we are British mate, a little bit of this, a little bit of that...we r well hard......yeah, get in there
last trip back to the UK walking about Warrington I came across a Polish deli, walking in the young woman behind the counter speaking to a customer in a foreign language (I suppose it was Polish) when finished she spoke to me in jibberish - my response was 'sorry I don't understand'. Quickly reverting to the broadest Lancashire accent 'sorry Luv is there summut you'd like help with'.

After she spied the small maple leaf on my lapel we got talking further saying she has cousins in Toronto etc.

I asked her if she was born in the UK, her response was that she was born in Poland & that she was 9 years old the family came to the UK, that it was difficult in the beginning at school with the other kids & having deal with the language. She went on to say she has a degree but her parents required her to work in the shop as a duty to the family.

She explained at home its all Polish - outside of the house she is just like others in the area

Duh, yeah.

There doesn't seem to be any logical progression, the replies don't make sense.

If I was still back in the UK I'd be advocating developed commonwealth movement and ditching the EU free-for-all.

if you say so, then again if you notice on BE some folks are real sensitive no matter what you post

call a spade a spade - say what you mean & mean what you say

A person that likes to dance on Telly, once said this about Humans.....

“Our egos tells us we're the only ones that have any kind of feelings. We're the only ones with a relationship. We're the only ones with family. You know, I think that if you kill a spider, there is a relationship that you're ruining. There's a conversation going on outside with the other spiders. 'Did you hear about Chris?....Killed yeah....Sneaker. And now Stephanie has nine hundred babies to raise all alone. Well, she's got her legs full I'll tell you that right now. Chris was so kind, wouldn't hurt a fly. It's just been tough for them lately. They just lost their web last week. Those humans think they're so smart. Let them try shooting silk out of their butt and see what they can make.'”
