I am proud of most things British but we have had soooo many crap Governments in the last 50 years that have ruined a once great and proud nation. especially the one before this useless bunch.

Not proud of the hand-outs to some people who are just bone-idle and refuse to take a job even if offered it.
I am not proud of the way us Brits stick by all the EU rules while other European Countries just ignore them.
I really have no problem with immigration but England doesn't have the capacity and space to accommodate immigration here. There really should have been limits on coming into the country. The US has the space for immigration and is a country built on immigrants but even then it struggles with border control. Who would have thought that an island as small as Britain with no borders to other nations would have to struggle with immigration like this

You may need to brush up on your grammar, before hitting that 120k level. Just a thought.

I think this thread should be moved to the MBTTUK forum.

Just for an hour, to read the responses.
