I’m not an immigrant, just a regular tourist in Germany :D

No. But what is too many?
Everyone wants a good place to live. I can’t blame anyone for coming to this country. Other leave this country because of tax reasons. :D

Personally, it doesn’t bother me, because it’s not like the country is full or anything… of course, we don’t have many (if any) immigrants over where i live, so my opinion won’t be very valid.

They should spread people more around.
I guess your neighbourhood is not a wealthy one?

Britain lets in far too many immigrants and gives them far too many benefits. Britain is shit and weak and stupid.

That kind-of sums it up for me too.
I think like this…
I live in a house. It’s my home.
I wouldn’t let anyone in who I didn’t either know/trust/want there etc. I wouldn’t let a no good loafer in, or an axe murderer.
So then, to extrapolate.
I live in England. It’s my home.
I’m sure the rest is self explanatory.
A bit simplistic?
Why make life complicated.
BTW, I don’t hate people. Just in case someone thinks I do.

Mostly I don’t have problems with immigrants, they just don’t have to try to rule our country. There are some places in Antwerp you don’t feel safe at night, some not even during the day, I guess every city has this problem. But there are as well some very nice places in Antwerp with lot’s of Turkish people, that may be mentioned as well! Some people only see the bad things, but most of those immigrants have political problems in their countries. There won’t be so many people who just leave their family and friends to live in a complete strange country, in such poor conditions, … as long as they try to find a job and don’t cause troubles than everyone is welcome for me!!!

But than there’s another thing, I live very close to the border of Holland, they all come over the border, if you’re in my town, you’d swear you’re in Holland!!! :)
I cannot blame these people either, they pay less taxes in Belgium, they’re able to build a house overhere, which doesn’t seem to be so easy in Holland. But the negative thing about it is, … they make it almost impossible for me to stay, … They make the prices of our houses and our land rise like hell!!! :(

well, i had problems with some imigrants once who thought they own the town. almost became a fistfight before police came. and then my nice neighbours who keep calling me nazi and my girlfriend nazibitch aren’t that nice either, but then again, i had enough problems with skinheads and other idiots.
after all, i have no problem with immigrants, i just have a problem with assholes, no matter where they come from.

Seems OK.
My best friend is the son of a East European immigrant, who did pretty much the same kind of thing as you describe.
Another friend of mine went to live in Dusseldorf. Married a German girl etc.
Can’t be doing with spongers though. Can anyone?
Are lots of these people here in the UK to flee oppression? or other motives.
I’ve got a gut feeling that Joe Britain is being taken for a ride, and he can’t criticise in any way. If he does criticise, he is branded a Nazi or some such abuse. I’m not. It just seems reasonable to me to not let all and sundry into your “home”.

That said, I’ve got a mate who’s a cop, and he says that (in the very rural area where he works), most of the asylum seekers generally work hard and kept themselves to themselves - they’re too scared to make much trouble because they’re worried about being deported however all the local idiots do very little all day except defraud the DSS and then spend all night getting drunk and fighting, whilst complaining about a bunch of hard working people ‘taking’ jobs that they’re too thick and lazy to do themselves.

Of course, I wouldn’t want to generalise too much - it’s a more complex issue than that, but a lot of immigrants are genuinely looking for an opportunity to improve themselves rather than sponge, and I suspect it’s only a few that give the whole a bad name (and who’s misdoings are exploited by a few shithead extremists over here).

You’re right to say that it is almost impossible to discuss the matter rationally in the UK at the moment though, which can’t be healthy.

Was thinking about Romania for holiday next year (get to go to Dracula’s castle) - will tell them that it’s much nicer there than here ;)

That sounds like where i should come in! Being female and a one-time natural blonde, no-one expects me to say anything intelligent anyway… ;)

I agree though - it’s difficult to just lump all immigrants and asylum seekers together, because every situation is going to be different. If they come over here to work and not make trouble, then i can’t really see the problem with letting them come. Maybe we should even be grateful that we’ve got such a nice country that people would make such an effort to get over here.

If you really want me to say something stupid though, i could always suggest that we even things out by sending some people we don’t want over to their countries in return - Man Utd fans, Davina McCall, plus those lazy morons on the dole that were mentioned… that would be a good start! I’d happily put up with a few more immigrants if it meant we could get rid of them as a swap! :)

You mean all those things you’ve said over the past few months weren’t entirely serious? I feel so used…

Have been on 4 different continents. Never failed to meet Man U fans there already. Very depressing.

Australia can have Jono Coleman back, if we can find a boat big enough to ship him there. And America should take back all it’s grey squirrels - stealing our red squirrel’s nuts! Disgraceful!

Don’t they count as tourists? They’re only passing through.

Bit rude just to turn up somewhere, eat the food, have a good shit and then piss off again though.

hardly the point, theyre bloody foreigners, quick close the borders, hide the women folk! and hide the leatherwear! this is a local town for local wildfowl

It’s the same in Ireland - nobody has a problem with the Nigerians here, cos they seem to want to work and mind their own business.

Those Romanians are a different story altogether. I guess they’re pretty similar to Albanians.
