Nice to see some of our politicians are actually personally welcoming some of these latest immigrants on their arrival at the airport with a welcoming cup of coffee, all on expenses of course.
for many they won't be affected by it, but if there are communities where people lose jobs which are outsourced abroad, isn't this as bad. British jobs for British workers, doesn't hold water does it...
no it doesnt Emmie, sorry but another Booldawg anecdote but her we go;
Back in the late 90s I worked for an broadcast tv hire company and a production company we worked with were filming in Beara in Southern Ireland. They wanted us to provide the editing facilites and we were all booked to transport the equipment down there (me driving).
At the 11th hour the ROI government stepped in and told us we couldnt do it as they were pushing for local business to get Irish bids. Think the production was called 'Falling for a Dancer' no doubt in IMDB. Shame as it was a really good job in a place I'd never been to. Literally they cancelled us on the Thursday when we had booked all ferries/acccomm for the weekend.
Either times have moved on since the late 90s or we are behind the times!
Emmie-
I believe they get the vote after four years, just in time to win Labour and their patrons the next election. Yes Blair flagrantly went after the Asian vote by promising a relaxation for immigration of family members which was delivered to the tune of about 30,000 pa at the outset, who knows how many now.
many ended up in the capital, then out to places like Luton, Slough, Bradford, Brum, because of work, then when that dried up as in did in Luton, problems have arisen.
PS I once went into the Sainsburys in Barnstable on a Sunday morning while we were passing through. I live in an East-Midlands city and after a while in there I said to my wife I wasn't feeling well, something was disturbing me but I didn't know what.
As usual my wife came to my rescue by saying 'it's not you, it's just you're not used to being somewhere where there is not a single black or coloured person to be seen!'
The SW is the heartland of the Liberal former-Democrats and no wonder. Down there they really haven't been exposed to the political re-engineering of this country's electorate...YET!
Emmie-
The same day as you arrive with a UK passport and put yourself on the electoral register you can vote to destroy the UK. On the other hand millions of people who were born in Scotland and who consider themselves to be Scottish will be totally disenfranchised.
But then Britain has never been a democracy, never was and never will be. You do realise that don't you?
from what i understand is that Scots not living in Scotland won't get a vote, those who do will, as will those other nationals who are resident, and are on the electoral roll. So as an English person, had i been living in Scotland say for the last 5 years, i would get a say on independence, so would vote no.
emmie
Me neither, but we are mere spectators watching the slow motion movie of the end of this country we know and love, and it's totally unmandated transformation into who knows what.
well the people resident in Scotland may say no, i hope they do. However lets hope they don't get strong armed into saying yes, as the Irish did on the Euro, say no no no, oh all right then i give up
"and it's totally unmandated transformation into who knows what. 2
into a district of the eussr
every time another immigrant steps into this country they let out a howl of laughter, it suits them and their political ends down to the ground.
sooner they can get rid of the majority indigenous population and break the history of the uk into little pieces the happier they are.
they want no soverign nations no borders, no national identities...just one homogenous isotropic mass that they can wield power over
eussr shafting us from outside and our own politicians shafting us from within
and today Cameron says how much he wants scotland to stay in the union...well he would, because thats the instruction hes under from his eussusr pay masters, they dont want the uk in bits, they want it in one whole shebang nice and easy for them that way.
the more immigrants of different cultural backgrounds that flood in here the happier thay are, because they know the majority of them dont care a toss about this countrys heritage or anything else as long as they can do what they want and we respect and accomodate them and their ways thats it.
and like mugs we are letting them all slowly but surely take over and get away with it
There are so many legitimate grounds for anger and fury right now. I suppose it might as well be me that suggests that we try to be circumspect and not rush to potentially extreme decisions.
But it is hard, given that the politicians in whom we are obliged to put our trust have once again let us down so very badly.
I heard on BBC news this morning that so many youngsters are suicidal because they cannot get a job. Why are firms still advertising in Romania? Don't youngsters want these jobs? They don't have to be jobs for life but at least on their CVs it would show they are willing to work.
which is exactly what i have been banging on about. Its a nonsense for some to suggest that many of our young people are sitting by and doing nothing...
