Oh the joys of immigration

What have we done to this country !

And this culture from those Roman hooligans.

And this one from the knuckle-dragging Saxons.

And then there's those work-shy Normans and the Huguenots.

And the bolshy Irish lot.

Why can't we just go back to the good old days?

Quinlad, none of your links bear any relevance whatsoever to this issue. Are you seriously suggesting that because the Romans invaded Britain, because politics produces terrorists, strikes and Nazis, or because football hooligans are what they are, that somehow excuses the actions of these ten year olds? Why is it that whenever immigration is mentioned, we get some apparent clever clogs using the same tedious old cherry of the Roman invasion as some sort of yardstick? What complete and utter tripe. We do have a problem with youth crime, some of which, like it or not, does stem from imported culture, and denial and absurd comparisons aren't going to cure it. As distasteful as it may be, we need to open our eyes, acknowledge it, and address it. If we don't, then we are not only failing society as a whole - we are also failing our children - and we are failing them miserably.

We have imported this culture:

How very true, Raggy.

This has sadly been highlighted by the tragic news of the two honeymooners on the Caribbean island of Antigua.
