what about all people taking up residence here having to do a two year stint in the Armed Forces?

Then they would have to swear their allegiance to this country, they break that and they face charges of treason, they could receive a wage and pay taxes instead of relying on the over stretched benefit system here.
Only then, would they be granted British citizenship

N3wshound -don't be deterred, I'm with you on 90% of what you've been saying but I fear you are in a minority amongst mostly narrow-minded right-wing Daily Mail readers.

[Bobbisox]

Oh here we go
I don't read the bloody DM !

Bobbi re - "his spittal is reaching me here PMSL he sure as hell has an axe to grind..lol"
Is that what you always say if someone disagrees with you?
If you are going to start a thread with a suggestion as controversial as this what do you expect, or were you hoping to be preaching to the converted?

[Bobbisox]

you believe I am racist and that's your prerogative
I will much rather have a joke than insult someone !

[Mustardmit]

Bobbi "Oh here we go" I take that to mean you've received this kind of reaction before to similar posts?

[Bobbisox]

anyone that comes in here and raises such issues are accused of both racism and reading the Daily Mail, that's a well know fact

[Mustardmit]

"am i trhe only person who sees this as simplistic reasoning to the point of stupidity?"
No you're not.

[Mustardmit]

I didn't know that Bobbi - having been posting here for a relatively short time but isn't that telling you something?

[Mustardmit]

LOL --- :-)

[ummmm]

Oh for Gods sake.....!!

[Bobbisox]

Gotchya ..lol

N3wshound - The OP may be simplistic and it may be flawed but your personal attacks, based on your assumptions of Bobbi, are unwarranted.

I happen to believe that the suggestions are impractical and have said as much but not in the intemperate language you have used.

I have also not muddied the argument with endless references to sink estate lifestyles as you have.

It is also endlessly frustrating to see anyone raising threads like this immediately labelled as racist.

Not wothy of an answer !
