And to think about those nations without a channel full of water between them and the savages... How could they survive? Obviously not. Obviously they are all wastelands, full of marauding grunts, and exploding cars and ... well, you get the picture.
All I can see is another entitled-to-have-a-little-as-possible-to-do-with-immigrants-brit.
Hi there.
How about your fair share of immigrants coming to Europe?
Oh?
You want to secede?
Well, that might be convinient. Could you please speak with the Netherlands, Ireland and Cypress first, as they have serious issues with that? And ask your industrial companies?

Or are you forgetting that it's an Island?
But yes, blame the liberals, even if it was paedo Heath and other right wingers who pushed for this EU collaboration.
Probably for an easing of human trafficking across our waters.
You're reaping what you sow.

Say what you mean...
Don't let us assume, say it!

Sometimes I read threads like this and begin to think the problem there is really out of control, but then other members who live in the UK come in and say it's nuts, there is really no indication of a problem.
Maybe it's regional --- like I never notice a problem with folks coming across our southern border. It's surely not noticeably a problem here and I don't much give it a second thought. But then, I don't live in Texas.
Anyway. It's confusing. Is it or isn't it? Is it mostly just personal perception?

What's BS? We haven't got struggling public service? We haven't got high levels of Immigration, 250,000 Net a year? We haven't got a large low skilled market?
Under John Major in the Mid Ninites, Immigration was 30-40 thousand Net a year. Our public service under John Major was being underfunded, not struggling to meet demand because of year on year high levels of Immigration we have.

Oh. Sorry.
I've noticed one difference you guys talk about and that is "free stuff", housing and such. Mexicans and people from Central American don't get that much 'free stuff' here. They come here to work. They send their money home too, but nonetheless pay taxes on every purchase, and I don't begrudge the fact they are trying to feed someone at home.
But a 'takeover' would be difficult if not impossible to swallow, I agree.
