Another inferrence that immigrants work harder than UK nationals, i am sick to death of hearing how immigrants work harder than us, it BS, we have worked hard in this country to give us the lifestyle we would like, we have supported the unions, and the unions have supported us, in making sure we get a fair days pay for a fair days work, yet it seems many seem happy for all these hard fought rights to be discarded, simply because immigrant labour is prepared to work for less, without adhering to the (sensible) health and safety laws employed by this country.

I couldn't agree more. I didn't fight in two world wars (I admit) for Johnny Foreigner to come over here willy nilly and impinge on my right to idleness in the workplace. No Sir! Since the halcyon days of unionisation in the 1970s that led to such triumphs of industrial might as British Leyland, it's just been one foreign plot after another to dilute feather bedding, demarcation, and closed shops.

I'd complain more, but I'm off on a HSE sponsored safe use of office furniture course and can't spare the time.

Tell me about it. When I was fighting in the Hungarian Revolution of 1918, with blood being spilled on the streets of Pest and Kapolna, never in my wildest dreams did I envisage the occassional Eastern European working in our businesses. If I had known I'd have plunged myself on my own baronet.

I too would complain more, but I'm off to Deloitte sponsored course on replacing good and proper English with business speak. We're starting with an idea shower followed by a 360 degree feedback session. I'll touch base with you all later.

It's more usual to fix a bayonet on the end of one's weapon than a baronet (except at certain more exclusive public schools), but I understand what may happen when passions run high. Certainly most baronets I know are more than somewhat effete and nowhere near as effective in a fight as 12 inches of thrusting cold steel. They don't like it up'em, Johnny Foreigner, which is I guess why they're always seeking asylum from war and torture, the big girls blouses.

Why is it, incidentally, that those expressing virulently anti-immigration opinions are so depressingly poorly educated? Can we not ship them off somewhere for lessons before they're allowed to vote?

i am sure there were very few volunteers though. most of them would have fought for the salary/ due to 'slavery'. or they were made to fight.

They were ALL volunteers. That's what 'the largest volunteer army the world has ever seen' means. Of course they were paid. All troops are paid.

I think an open working Europe is great to be honest. Allows all of use to use labour from all EU countries and the market decides the correct rate.

An open europe has benefitted the lir household directly. Not least because we are both internatinal mongrels and anglophilic- British passport holding -citizens of the world BUT, and its a big but, the whole Lisbon treaty thing terrifies me. I really don't undertsand why the potential threat to our legal system and the possibilties for change in policing and relinquishing parliamentary sovereignty is not discussed more. I have only been able to conclude that a majority of people are ignorant of the scope of this. I'm happy to be a concerned minority, I'm scared though I am a slightly less poory informed minority. Is this ever covered, for example, on tv? Do most peope know or care/not care about these things?

More "Enrichment" from the Labour / Marxists :rolleyes:

Another Example of PC madness, Two Chrisitians Beat up a Muslim, becasue they "Thought" ...(Wrongly as it turned out) he had "firebombed" there Church !! ..Obviously if this HAD been the Story you would have heard "Racism" thrown about like confetti & a Custodial sentance would have followed along with media Hysteria..
There are DOZENS of examples like this, but you are not likely to hear about them because ...well...you know why ... read the report & make up your own mind..
P.S to all the defenders of this kind of Bias, perhaps if the victim had been you or a close family member, you might just have a differant opinion....But thats the joys of "Enrichment" for you ..

Ultra10, I don't care why you'll be voting BNP, although I suspect it's something to do with a fairly low level of intellect.

What I do object to, and what I object to very strongly, is feeling ashamed to let my children accept an English flag from people in the town centre (as I did on Saturday), because it has become the symbol of a petty, jealous, sneering and disingenuous view of the world that paints what is different and foreign as a threat, which seeks to set one group of people apart based on lies, exaggerations and demagoguery.

I take people as I find them. However you draw the demagraphic map there are people who are nice and people who are not. But I've yet to find a BNP supporter I'd give the time of day to, so as far as I'm concerned if we're rounding people up for expulsion to save "our way of life", I know who I'd want first on the cattle trucks.
