pretty soon you will be in the same reserves gettoes and concentration camps you put OTHER peoples into when you have invaded other lands and countries in the past.
On top of the fact your own masters are letting the immigrants in to corral you...someday you may be banned from simple stuff...like making salt..or you may get slaughtered for making peacefull protests..
I watched ganhdi the other day maybe some of YOU should to
When the whiteman first invaded north America..and before this caused the demise of MILLIONS of people most of the whites lived in enclaves called towns and cities...
Judging by the past, if turnabout is fairplay, britons may have a scary looking future...edit on 10-5-2013 by Danbones because: (no reason given)

I lived for eight years in a Glasgow suburb highly populated by Africans and Eastern Europeans, and previously spent six years living in a middle class village in England. Personally I would rather live next door to Africans and Eastern Europeans than the Jeremy Kyle show family, white trash junkies or loud and proud lager swilling Englanders. If they keep on voting in these fascist parties (UKIP, BNP) it will come back to bite them on the arse.

Hehe, I doubt very much you were living in a "middle class" English village if you lived next door to "Jeremy Kyle" types, "White trash junkies" or "loud & proud lager" types. Sounds very much to me like one of those sink estates instead.
I live in a proper "middle class" English market town and we have none of that, except in the the dodgy estate out of town. For the most part, it's quiet, everyone is respectful and we drink Ale or Bitter
Now, the reason that White flight isn't so prevalent in Scotland? Probably has something to do with the fact most immigrants to the UK settle in England or Wales, few make it so far North. Demographic information I can find seems to indicate that a proportionally higher amount of Scots are "White British" (including Irish) than elsewhere in the UK (96% compared to 85% in England and Wales), so it stands to reason this will be less of a problem for you guys up there.

I agree with you to an extent, here in Scotland we don't have a fraction of the problems experienced in areas of England and Wales, but having lived in Lancashire for a while, I can certainly see what the problems are.
However, the "Ned" population in Scotland is quite worrying, and you must have been fortunate to live in an area of Glasgow without them, they are insidious throughout Scotland. I live on the west coast of Scotland and the "Jeremy Kyle" underclass are prevalent. I've talked about my own issues on another thread here before, but some of the anti-social behaviour from my own neghbours is, at times shocking..all of them white Scottish.
Furthermore, whilst I would have totally agreed with you at one point that the Eastern Europeans were excellent immigrants, recently the massive flow into the country, has obviously brought some of the less desirable elements. One of the examples I can think of is the Romanian Big Issue sellers, who have taken over the streets of Scotland. I would always buy a copy from the Scottish sellers in the past, but to be honest, I was reluctant to buy them from immigrants, as I couldn't fathom why you would move to a different country to be homeless and of course, there are enough indigenous homeless people, who I believe should be helped before in-comers.
As it turned out, I was right to be concerned, as it was discovered that the Romanian sellers (who often had young children with them begging) were part of an organised gang, who flooded every town centre in Scotland, using violence to force out the original sellers and often turning up in areas where previously there were no sellers and harassing people on the street, something that the Scottish sellers never did, they were always extremely polite.
Additionally, the sheer volume of Eastern Europeans have had other impacts as well, in terms of usage of the NHS, schools etc and as they are coming here legally, the availability of welfare benefits. Clearly when a population increases by over a million people in a very short time, this is going to be problematic, and I said previously, the less desirable elements are also adding to the crime statistics, often with no consequences as they just disappear.
Scotland is currently facing many challenges, and with the referendum looming, there are many priorities that need to be addressed, not least, the constant influx of migrants into a fairly stagnant economy and an infrastructure that is bursting at the seams.

Flag of Jamaica From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jamaican national flag Name The Cross Use National flag and civil ensign Proportion 1:2 Adopted August 6, 1962 Design A gold saltire on a green and black field. Jamaica's naval White Ensign The first proposed design for the Jamaican flag Another proposal for the Jamaican flag The flag of Jamaica was adopted on August 6, 1962, the original Jamaican Independence Day, the country having gained independence from the British-protected Federation of the West Indies. The flag consists of a gold saltire, which divides the flag into four sections: two of them green (top and bottom) and two black (hoist and fly). The present design emerged from those sent in by the public in a national competition. It was originally designed with horizontal stripes, but this was considered too similar to the Tanganyikan flag, and so the saltire was substituted. It hints at the Scottish and Irish roots of much of the population, while black, green, and gold are Pan-African colors, representing the country's black majority population. An earlier interpretation of the colors was, "hardships there are but the land is green and the sun shineth": gold recalls the shining sun, black reflects hardships, and green represents the land. However, that was changed to the colour black representing the strength and creativity of the people which has allowed them to overcome the odds, yellow for the golden sunshine and green for the lush vegetation of the island. The flag is blazoned Per saltire vert and sable, a saltire Or

In the last five hundred years, the main issue is protestant or catholic....
And to this day many things can be deduced about a person merely by asking what school they went to..not a class thing
I am glad that the religion I grew up with (and was allowed to discard without fear of reprisal) was one of forgiveness, compromise and understanding
