Typical. How many English people living abroad can speak the language? How many of those living in the sunshine in Spain can speak a word of Spanish, or those who've retired to Provence can speak French?[b said:Quote[/b] (OneDreweBroughton @ Aug. 13 2006,17:22)]I feel very strongly about people who live in England and can't read and write in English eg people who accuse immigrants of "living of benefits".[b said:Quote[/b] (Keep The Faith @ Aug. 13 2006,16:12)]Maybe some people feel a little more strongly about letting all these people into the country, living of benfits etc etc, probably having a better lifestyle then most of our OAPs who have probably fought for this country..
Just for some of them (not all) to dispise us (many do) and blow the country up from within..
I feel very strongly about people who live in our country and don't understand our country's history, for example for the second world war Britain fought side by side with its commonwealth allies (eg Australia, NZ, the Caribbean islands) and countries like Poland. In case you are refering to immigrants from the Indian sub-continent, modern day India and Pakistan was still British up to 1947, and yes their troops did fight for Britain. The chances are therefore quite high that the grandparents of immigrants did actually fight for/with the British.
The failure here isn't immigration policy, its education policy.
Immigration started in the 50's & 60's because we needed these people to do the crappy jobs that white people decided were above them and so it is today. Dole scroungers would rather get their handouts while these immigrants who would willingly work 12 hour days, 7 days a week get the abuse.
My girlfriend is a British Asian, her father who has worked harder than all of us all of his life, paid his taxes, gets abuse from morons who read the Sun and believe the crap it prints.
I'm with Custard Splat...I'm ashamed that these people support the team I love, and I would definitely think twice before dragging her down to watch a match if this is the kind of scumbags that have latched onto Southend United.
