I was thinking about sticking up for the Arab, but he's not a nice person.

So I took my eye off the ball and lost my Queen, and I was a piece up. I didn't see the wicked knight creep up on my blind side.

... And yet the country is lower than 72 other countries in terms of cases, we in the UK are higher than them.... So is Spain.... By a huge way. But the Somalis are block so it's worse right?

There are 10 million people in Somalia, is the number of people with infectious diseases a fair comparison to the UK or Spain?

0.7% prevalence, lower than Portugal, Ukraine and Latvia, lower than Barbados.... Much lower than Russia, Spain is .4% the UK .3% but the figures are almost three times higher in both countries so while the percentage is higher the actuall numbers are much much lower, 140,000 in Spain compared to 24,000 in Somalia.... Not my figures by the way, the CIA's factbook.

Of course a vicious civil war that has been going on for over20 years and famine have no bearing on the situation in Somalia.
Between us Brits , French and then the US really turned yet another country into a basket case.

Of course nothing at all to do with the fact that most of these countries have been killing their fellow men off with tribal and civil wars since Adam was a lad and will likely continue to do so for ever and a day regardless of any outside influences.

The scale of fighting going on now with modern weapons is way above anything that happened before. As we know the big powers used and still use the various factions to suit their own interests. oil, minerals etc etc.
Any who are the west to talk, two world wars in a century , tens of millions of our fellow europeans killed.

Will you ever tire of repeating yourself with the well worn lines you wheel out all the time?

I am just waiting for you to dismiss another situation or atrocity, using the war of the roses as the benchmark.

Very infantile and not relevant at all, so isn't about time you stopped?

Infantile and not relevant from the queen of that type of post.
Then I doubt you take any interest in world events , their causes and reasons.
Just blame everything on someone with a different colour and religion and all is well in your world.

I place blame where blame is due. If the Sunnis are blowing up the Shiites, why would I blame the Buddhists?

If Justin believer is being doping himself up and being a prat, why would I blame Jay-Z?

if two factions in Africa are killing eachother for what ever reason, why would I blame the Danish?

If Liverpool fans are fighting with Man-u fans, why would that be west Broms fault?

Grow up you are making a tit of yourself

Some of us are trying to move into the 21st century and deal with present day situations as per the topic, rather than play childish who did what to who blame games from bygone times,......... again and again and again.

Point is that it is not bygone times is it?

UK is still involved in military action in other countries (whether you agree with the action or not).

The above post re. paedophilia; the victims themselves would like some sort of justice. Should they just forget all about it and keep quiet because it was 'last decade'. What is the time limit?

Were those who hunted down Nazi criminals wrong?

When does "present day" start?

Bygone days, what world are you livng in, have you never heard of the civil wat going on today in the horn of africa , have you never heard of the piracy in that area that involves the navies of many countries.#
Have you never heard of the disastrous intervention in Somalia buy the UN and US.
Add to this the Sudan and the many conflicts going on in saharan africa and the involvement of France to name one western country.
Maybe then you would understand why tens thousands every year and for at least the last 20 years are escaping to the safe zone of the EU including the UK.
Keep your head in the sand if it makes you feel better.

Scuse me but who is the one who repeatedly keeps popping up out of nowhere to tell us all we are off topic ? :confused:


If you want to discuss one of the many civil and tribal wars that have been raging in Africa since time began or maybe even the Battle of Hastings, why not start an appropriate thread and allow this one to get back to topic ?

So how we deal with immgration, the reasons for it or how those behave who have found their way to the UK for whatever reason is " off topic ".
The only topic some of you want to discuss is the evils of immigration how it affects the UK etc , not that some live in the UK or have any knowledge of what it is like to live in the multicultural country that is the UK .

please give it a rest.
the "civil war" in the Horn of Africa has been running too long without a resolution.
the time has come to put a barricade of razor wire around the place, throw in a couple of containers of weapons and ammunition and let them get on with it.
When someone comes along and says "We won, let us out" - shoot the lot of them. !! (note I advocated this for NI).
It is about time someone got hold of the cat and rubbed his nose in the spilt milk (or blood) and told him to STOP.
This has been going on too long, it is causing misery to too many people who are not involved, but have been dragged into it by race and/or religion.

And you from a civilised country should know better that it hasn't been going on for only 20 years - try accepting it is 50 years of misery, and what would YOU do if you were directly involved.

You are making me so angry at your continual denial of the truth of things.

You can spend the next 50 years talking about the problems being caused by immigration. You can condemn and demonise this group or that for the way the behave or live. The facts of life are simply that we have to make the best out of what history has thrown us.
You cannot turn the clock back to what may or may not have been a better UK.
This topic is called " British Standards ", well face the facts they are changing, they have to change to match the needs of our changing society.
Immigrants will have to adapt and adopt as will the next generation of what we can call the " British ".
Perhaps one of the ways to define what some will call a rascist or fascist , putting to one side the real loonies is that they cannot or will not accept that the world as they know it and like it is coming to an end.
It may take decades or longer but it is happening and there is little we can do to stop that change.

Immigration is not a single issue as such. Each 'group' is different, illegal immigrants need obviously to be dealt with. Those from the EU are a separate potential problem. Economic migrants from outside Europe can be managed.
Then there are the large group and their descendents who came to the UK because they were asked to come and fill jobs after the war, whose countries had been invaded and looted during the empire (the subcontinent) and used as 'cannon fodder' during the last war or their ancestors brought as slaves to create British wealth (West Indies).
Yes "bygone" days but tell me why should these people and their descendents be insulted as "Shit" because a few people refuse to learn the history of their own country.

They were invited to come, but to work and earn a living, something that was not possible in their own country, but unlike slaves, they were free to return whenever they wanted, some have chosen to, the vast majority chose to stay. None of them has ever been forced to stay in UK, the door has always been wide open for those that feel they've been enslaved, so what's holding them back? Surely a life lazing under a coconut tree smoking pot is much more attractive than driving a London bus?

As I said above 'lumping' all together. I cannot comment regarding West Indians. What are you saying if they stay in UK they should be ready to put up with insults???

A great many of those from Subcontinent did return and particularly India where particularly those who 'hold up' the NHS could have earned far more in their original country.
Why then did they stay?? a number of reasons, too many to explain here but also because the majority of British people you may be surprised do recognise their worth and are not insulting!!!!
