            Exactly danny - Im sorry mewbie, but you arent the liberal non racist you seem to aspire to be.
 You are biased and you have made racist comments re Brits.
 I have no solutions (and I cant see yours there?). I believe the situation will get worse as unemployment rises in this small island. However I dont believe that hiding yourself behind the "Im a lefty intellectual" statements will help anyway at all.
 "Employing Lithuanians, etc. is an eye opener in terms of quality. They are better educated, harder working, more willing than their British counterparts. They are decent young people, making some money for a couple of years before they return home which is actually where they really want to be".
 You are talking about a small group there - decent young people who are no doubt students - they like aussies come here for a couple of years, put up with rubbish work because its an "experience" just as many of the British young people travel for a couple of years working. This isnt the general situation, for goodness sake.0

            Ok then.
 I have argued my point - anti racist, and my solution - get on with it and stop blaming others for your misfortune.
 What's your point, and what's your solution?
 You sound like the most racist person on here.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

 Boy, SOMEONE has a hell of a chip on their shoulder!!
 If you don't like the Brits then why are you here?

            If, mewbie, as you say, you want to avoid the "outright racism" of BNP - then your solution of "getting on with it" (whatever that may be?) appears to me to be saying, ignore it and it will go away. This will ensure that at the next election you will see people voting for extremists because they are tired of the non action of the main parties. Stand up and speak now about the situation and that may be avoided if the government have the guts to act. And Im not just speaking about the lack of immigration control, but also the situation with feral communities lacking aspiration or ambition.0

 I guess its OK for inbred morons from the UK to buy up Lithuanian cottages and price the locals out of their houses. But not for them to choose to come and work over here.

            "getting on with it" - was supposed to mean stop blaming others if you can't get a council house, don't have a job, feel you are paying too much tax, etc. I don't like paying tax, who does, but that's the deal. As for where it goes - wouldn't it be great if we all had a say in which cause was the most deserving? But it ain't going to happen - so get on with it.
 I think I have been blunt and open about my opinions. What about yours - do you blame the immigrants, do you think they are a problem and what should be done?
 As for using the term "inbred morons", it is a common term of affection used to describe the good people of Norfolk. Bit like sheep sh... for the Welsh. And so on. Racist - probably. Does it mean I am a racist - well OK - technically I am for making such a remark. But as you so succinctly put it - who wants to put up with the PC brigade when dealing with these problems.
 At least, so far - none of us has lost it and started the 'reporting thread' game.0

            I dare you all,
 go on, you know deep down we need too.

 I dont believe it 2 posts in a row, perhaps we are more a like than I thought.
 Anyone who picks on the Norfolk inbreds (Narwich) is a friend for life.
 If it were not for the hardworking immigrants this country would have gone down the pan several years ago.
 You are not a Racist but someone who is allowed to make what ever comments that you believe in that is why our country is so Great, freedom of speech is what our Grandparents fought for and is what I want to preserve.0
