The Immigration Debate........

[technodup]

Doesn't matter what he thinks. Public opinion is only going one way regardless of views on here.

Which will be demonstrated when UKIP muller the rest at the euros.

If we get back to the debate here, i think this country is being slowly taken over by political correctness, a prime example is we are too scared of being branded racist for voicing opinions on the foreign population this country has readily embraced.
The way this country is going the british / english population will eventually become the minority.
I feel we are in danger of losing our identities as british citizens.
By all means fill this country with foreign citizens, i get on well with polish, Portuguese etc..
But not at the expense of our own british / english culture.

So , how far back into history do we have to go , before we were invaded by foreigners , and were truly British , with purely British identities and culture ? How many thousands of years are we talking here ?

I don't have any qualifications in history . However , were we not invaded by the Romans before 100AD ? Still what have the Romans done for us ?

And before them , didn't the vikings come here too ?

Food for thought , though obviously not pizza , not part of our culture is it .

A tiny percentage of our population really, and any criminal element is even tinier minuscule really.

My opinion on immigration ?? Come one come all. We've a lovely country with lots of very nice people. Come for a holiday or move here permanently. A good place to raise a family A fantastic health system chock to the gunwales with amazing people. Education system 2nd to many but still excellent. A vast array of social infrastructures.


Try not to be influenced by the people who make huge sums of money off your back.

Back to the pensioners i see :? a magic roundabout that never stops at Westminster.




Do you think theyve timed the immigration to coincide with an election :? or am i just being incredibly cynical

 

[technodup]

you are wholly wrong about public opinion. Meaningless protest votes are just that, and UKIP dines out on them.

If I am wrong then wtf are people protesting about? Protest votes could go anywhere, yet thousands or hundreds of thousands are directed to the one party which has the EU and immigration as it's raison d'etre. Must be coincidence.

Your beloved BNP are defunct

Point me to any post I have ever made which positively mentions the BNP or promotes any of their aims or objectives.

I'm not going to dignify that comment with any further reply. I'll let others judge who is the narrow minded one here.

People've been going "oh no immigrants! british people will become a minority! the sky is falling!" for about as long as time.

Weird how it hasn't happened yet, then.

i reserve the right to make stupid comments, and i will maintain that right.
but if the sky is falling, what headwear should i choose ?
have a good day retrobikers.

National identity you say? It seems it's already lost if this local news report from a primary school is anything to go by! http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/1093105 ... anguages_/

How many thousands of years are we talking here ?

at some stage the entire human race came into existence in and around Olduvai gorge, in Tanzania. At some stage people made their way from there to here. There have *never* been people who have always been here.

Our modern world sees the concept of nationalism becoming increasingly outmoded. It's high time that people started thinking in human terms rather than specific and arbitrarily defined subsets of humans. The challenges we face going forward will not be best met by petty-minded nationalism.

The argument that national identity is defined by a language is as weak as the idea that gay marriage devalues heterosexual marriage

if your national identity is damaged by someone speaking a different language then it probably wasn't worth much in the first place.
