there are 27 other countries to choose from.

I'm not taking anything personally but if someone is talking nonsense I will say so. This woman is a race baiter.

How any rational person can side with this woman is beyond me.

the UK voted to free itself from tyranny, the lady in question was not any part of that. She is welcome to stay but her taking it personally just tells me what a self centred fantasist she is. Just another example of sour grapes really, she has lived here a long time she knows the score.

ellipsis, 23:13 - talk about a Humphrey Appleby explanation! It was simple binary choice, you lost. No doubt you had some extremists in the remain camp too.

I agree with hereIam, she certainly seems to have a chip on her shoulders.

Why does she feel unwelcome, the Polish people have been welcome in this country since WW2, many have married UK nationals and have settled into the British way of life.

/// The kind of people that talk about "popping down to the ***s for a pint of milk" etc, etc ///

You mean the largest proportion of the British public that used a shortening of a longer word endearingly, before the PC brigade came along and ordered that it was now deemed racist to do so?

[ummmm]

No...the people who realised it was rude to use the P word when talking about Indians.

And also a proportion of anti-British who wallow in the dream of being ruled by an European superstate.

Yes I understand that Indians do not take kindly to being called the P word, because of the obvious racial tensions between India and Pakistan.

The lack of welcome in the country, by which I mean the is why the rhetoric between England and Scotland has risen over the years as well as the political nonsense, you don't need to be a Pole of other nationality to feel unwelcome in Britain these days.

I voted leave for many many reasons, not a single one of then was to do with racism but one was the unsustainability of uncontrolled immigration not just in the UK but across Europe. Shengen had many good concepts but in reality it's been a disaster!

What makes the UK a more extreme view is the way the welfare state works, it's a very left wing based model and that means people can just turn up and get handed whatever they need on a plate. It one of the reason those of our own citizens a punished by being unable to get the help they need and whats broken the country and helping break Europe.

Divebuddy and TTT, Euro-fanaticism may be many things but it is not illegal. Racism is. To have had the vote carried by racists is something we all have to live with.

AOG, who are you calling anti-British?

Is there any chance of you watching the clip and giving an honest opinion about it , Ellipsis?

After all that is what the thread is about.

Me too, Fender.

My opinion? Her perception is her reality. She may be wrong, she may even be silly, but people aren't exactly stepping forward to reassure her are they? Including yourself - "there are 27 other countries to choose from" rather than "No, you're wrong, you're welcome here."

[Tashi]

As far as I know the Poles have always been as welcome and as hard working as we (British Indian) have, if this Lady really feels that way then she has an Agenda.

[Orderlimit]

Much welcomed postings Tashi, good to see some reality (for a change) on these subjects.

[Ellipsis]

Tashi, following the vote on June 23rd, the status of British Indians did not change at all. Did the status of Polish immigrants change?
