Maybe I am and I`m not afraid to say that I think islam should be kicked out of europe along with its stone age views and ways.

Other religions seem to exist happily in europe without controversy.(other than catholicism)

What other religions?

It’s too late now. I used to have long hair and enjoyed a smoke or two, but when I looked in the mirror this morning I saw a fat skinhead.

All religions would be better.

Budhists ,sikh`s ,hindu`s, etc none of which seem to want christian europeans to change their religion/culture to suit theirs.

Is this not deviating from the original post that due to the drop in the value of sterling some people may have little option but return to the UK, irrelevant of their back ground, political and religious view or eating habits and preferences.

Having only recently arrived in Spain we are fortunate that our finances were worked out on parity so anything above that is a bonus.

Most of us living here for some years got used to our British pound being valued at something like 50% over parity and adjusted our lifestyles accordingly. The pound only dropped in value in recent times and the fall was never predicted or expected.

You don’t have to be living on the breadline to be affected by a 30 to 50 percent loss in income, and if the loss becomes even more catastrophic then even the well off will have to return home.

Being an optimist, I’m loathe to work on the numbers, but if my income from the UK is halved and my outgoings remain the same, then it may be time to pack.

To keep it simple, my weekly shopping bill is around £80 – if that goes up to £160, along with the price of petrol and everything else doubling too, life would be too uncomfortable.

It shouldn’t happen because within the EU a balance needs to be kept to prevent unfairness with imports and exports. The UK is an exporting nation, still, and we export most of our goods to Europe. The others would soon complain if we sold cars (do we still make them?) that undercut their domestic market by 50%.

Interestingly, one of the first truly humanistic and tolerant rulers was a Muslim ruler of india.

I would like to change your apostrophe, comma and capital letter abuse.

What was his name?

Can't remember. If it's any help, it was the same time as Elizabeth the first was on the throne, as I remember she apparantly wrote to him.

He had two sons, one tolerant like him, one a fanatic. Sadly the fruit loop took power, imprisoned his father and killed his brother.

Who was the fruit loop?

You'll get your bottom smacked for remarks like that!!!

Don't get her excited with claims like that!
