    So the people who come here are unskilled workers and the British that go abroad are skilled and professional workers? What a horrendous generalisation! You ought to get your head out your butt and see the light. How do you think the NHS would survive without all those nurses and doctors from the third world.



    Most germans wanted all the jews exterminated about 65 years ago. Doesn't mean that the masses are right does it?

    Infact your post is quite possibly the most stupid post I have ever read on an internet forum anywhere. If I were you I'd keep your fingers away from the keyboard so people don't see you for the biggot you are.

    I think that is a very unfair comment that sounds like a Dervishism :eek:

    Fine - most whites were very happy to perpetuate apartheid in South Africa. Doesn't make it right either.

    I find it ironic that YOU are the first person in this thread to mention both SKIN COLOUR and THE HOLOCAUST in your argument.

    If you want to find bigotry and racism everywhtere then you should see a psychologist.

    Similarly there should be absoilutey NO money going to charities abroad when there are so many problems in this country to fix.

    Please don't tell me where to spend my money, I'll send it wherever I like. This is a global downturn, and those very poor countries without a safety-net need it way more than we do. Are you honestly saying that nobody should give money to help the cholera victims in Zimbabwe or those with HIV/Aids in the poorest countries in the world should be left to die so that their orphaned kids can grow up on the streets?

    I wouldn't swap my economic problems with theirs in a month of Sundays.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    I think dervish needs to spend one month in a mud hut in Southern Africa - I'm sure he'd return with a vastly different outlook.
