Re: Who are all the immigrants?

Thanks so much for this - it's excellent and really comprehensive. I suspect it's much as we thought - family-based. I wonder if they'll reform this - is there any strong domestic feeling on this? I...

Re: Evening everyone! New member to the site with USA ambitions!

That's what I'm thinking as well. Can't be the best way to guarantee people with the highest skills and experience though, can it? I think the US immigration system is rather, ahem, antiquated and...

Re: Possible move to USA (Virginia) ?

If you can buy a place in FL for example, you could let it out to familes on holiday while you were in the UK, and then it's all yours when you need it. I know a few people who have looked into this....

Re: If you could move to the US...would you?

Thanks for the links - you might like Edward Linenthal (Ed) "History Wars - the Enola Gay and Other Battles for the American Past". It's a steady revisionist text that supports much of what you have...

Re: Work in construction Industry Why is it drying up?

The people will not be ready until the point it becomes obvious they would be richer and more stable, then they would dump the pound instantly. That point is approaching, IMO. The political class...

Re: Work in construction Industry Why is it drying up?

It has one of the worst current account deficits in the world, with only UK, Spain and US doing worse. I accept that on other fronts it is looking stronger though and my own view is that while it...

Re: If you could move to the US...would you?

Putting the cultural norms of our own time on to Truman et al is a mistake, and we can only judge his decision by looking at this through the values of his own time. Hiroshima was supposed to induce...

Good post. This is what happens in a global depression, which some of us have been predicting for years, usually to much mocking and ridicule. This will get much worse before it gets better....

Re: Australian Internet Censorship: Rally Sat Dec 13 2008
