Immigration into the UK (from outside the EU) has always been fairly strict and has recently been made more difficult.
You raise some interesting points Nuevo, but a few I'd like to contest.
The Government can publish all of the polls and statistics they like, but what counts are the experiences and perceptions of the average man or woman.
Britain
is seen as a soft touch. Look at the waves of asylum seekers who've travelled through 20 safe EU countries to reach the 'fabled green
Isle to the far North West'. I could list a number of unnacceptable case studies from my own experience - like residence automatically granted
through arranged marriages between British men and Indian or Pakistani women... or the fact that barely a word of English spoken at my local carboot
sales, or... well, you get the picture. Point is, I don't care what the Government says. I've never been to a country and witnessed as many
non-native-language speakers as here in Britain. We're not strict by any calculation. In terms of EU members, it's our benefit system rather than
border policy that's to blame for our inundation.

But perhaps the many British expats in Spain should learn Spanish and not hide away in their English communities, reading The Sun and eating Fish &
Chips. We should practice what we preach for a change.
I fully agree there. Anyone who flees Britain and complains about migration into Britain is a hypocrite, particularly if they don't even speak the
language of their new home nation.

If a wealthy Brit doesn't want to pay his taxes (taxes set via a democratically elected government), then I seriously doubt their claims to be a
patriot if they run.
...
These same people also didn't care at all about the local white people's low wages and high unemployment. Bottom line: racists are self-serving,
power control freaks.
I'll address these two together. Both those types of people are NOT patriots, no matter how racist they are

. Patriotism is about loving your
own folk, not hating others. You stick with your country through thick and thin.

The oft-cited decline of British culture is another myth.
No it isn't, or rather, it should be phrased differently. It's not so much a decline of British culture but more a loss of its sovereignty. It
exists but no longer predominates. I do feel this is as much to do with Brits abandoning their culture as foreigners forcing theirs in. But there's a
whole other issue related to that - the Globalist agenda's use of political correctness and white guilt to destroy the resolve of Brits. There are
definitely pockets of people keeping traditions alive by gathering in pubs to play folk music, or by glorifying ancient history and myth in art, or by
celebrating halloween, or speaking gaelic/brethonic - but more often than not those people feel they have to keep those things behind closed doors in
order not to upset the politically correct climate, or be labelled 'racist' because they're celebrating their white forefather's traditions.

Many companies would simply fail without their labour force of low paid eastern Europeans. The local Brits are simply too lazy, claiming their many
many benefits to get off their fat druggy arses and actually work for a living.
I argue this point more than any other, regularly. Yes, there are lazy scroungers, but mostly they simply have less incentive to gain from medial
labour. To a Pole, minimum wage on a crappy job, for a temporary period, goes a long way to providing them a future in their home country. It does not
go any way to providing a future in Britain for a Brit. British people aren't more lazy, they just have different requirements to foreigners. If you
could buy a house by cleaning toilets for 20 years (like say, an Eastern European could) you'd do it. If not, why bother? It's important to note
that the benefits system as exploited, proportionately at the very least, by foreign-born residents.
