Well, the one's that I have seen on TV seem to be well dressed, well presented, healthy looking, polite during interviews, speak adequate English and their children well behaved.

Might they not add something positive to the "British way of life?"
I have noticed that teh English of many of those interviewed is at least on a par with that of some native English speakers here.
However it was noted in an interview on Five Live yesterday that one eloquent speaker who had answered all the questions put to her in fluent English suddenly lost her fluency when asked why she had chosen not to leave a safe county (Turkey) and chosen not to register in Hungary- she suddenly apologised and said "me not understand- my English not good"
LOL^^^^ and smart as well ;-)
Thanks squad- even though I had messed it up by saying 'chosen not to leave ...Turkey' instead of 'chosen to leave...'
British TV does tend to avoid the ones throwing food back at the police and charidee workers, fighting, rioting, etc.
It wouldn't fit with their agenda.
You won't all have managed to catch a programme on BBC North last night. A gentleman from Keighley was making regular trips to fight against IS
Also consider that 73% of the refugees are male

We no longer have a true 'British way of life' labour gave that away with their multicultural' way of life.

Indeed - God forbid that we should seek to be a vibrant outgoing mixture of creeds and colours, learning from each other and developing tolerance as we become accustomed to each other's ways.

Let's go back to the days when father went to the city in a bowler hat and mummy stayed home and cooked the dinner and looked after the children.

Who needs progress, when Britain up to the 1960's was such a haven of curious developing interested minds?

What a rosy glow that brings.

Well it sure beats the hell out of the endless whinging and whining that is slowly strangling this section in a morass of paranoia and xenophobia.

Have you looked how many of the recent threads are concerned with immigrants and Muslims?

Some people on here are obsessed!

No, some people here are, with good reason, concerned - and concern doesn't equate to paranoia or to xenophobia.

Whinging, whining, morass of paranoia, xenophobia.

The usual insults we have come to expect from AnsweerBanks controller of decorum, Hughes.

I think that you need to "cut us a little slack" here on AB, as, for the past few years at least we have been bombarded by posts, mainly, but not always from left wing followers, indicating that we are neurotic about the arrival of Islamisation of the West.

Isn't that what we are now experiencing?

AOG "/// Well it sure beats the hell out of the endless whinging and whining that is slowly strangling this section in a morass of paranoia and xenophobia. ///

But the difference is, my observations are entirely generic - whereas yours Git, are always always ad nauseum, personal against the individuals who have offended your sensibilities - and I am top of that list.
Naomi - "andy-hughes, //Some people on here are obsessed! //

I think on here it does.
andy-hughes, you think wrong.
^ I think on here it doesn't !
To a-h ....
andy-hughes, //we should seek to be a vibrant outgoing mixture of creeds and colours, learning from each other and developing tolerance as we become accustomed to each other's ways. //

Actually coming from you that's laughable. By your own admission you know only one Muslim, and he I assume is the barber you were talking about the other day, so tolerance can’t be that difficult for you to muster up. You’re not really making a concerted effort become accustomed to other ways are you - you're just telling everyone else they ought to.
