I am not a white person but I was born and bred in London and I agree with you...I don't know if you are racist, but there are a lot of pc people on here. The fact is that the 2 groups of people leaving the UK are British White and people from the Caribbean. My parents and people from Guyana, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and the other islands were invited over by Enoch Powell (yes, the same man who made the'rivers of blood speech' in 1968) to come and build up the health service and the public transport system, which we did (remember how the hospitals used to be in the 1960's and 70's), and yet we were given little breaks compared to people today...that is why, the first people in this country to own their own houses were the West Indians..nobody would take us (the Irish were also discriminated against). People come here because you can do anything you wish and get away with everything.

I can’t believe ‘Wisdom’ got so many thumbs down (she was spot on).
It’s the idea that people own countries that baffles me: Some random lines are drawn on a map. Some guy gets born in that area, works there, pays some taxes. And then he gets to decide who else moves there?
I know it sounds alarmist to call you guys racist, cause your not actually saying ‘I think I’m better than a muslim ect’, but effectively that is where your thoughts are developing from. We are all human and have no rights to over any land, what language gets spoken here or what people wear. But you don’t want to share ‘your’ land with a different culture. That’s racism, pure and plain.
Two quick points.
1) Immigrants come to richer countries to share the wealth that was accumulated through unfair trade and exploitation of their own countries.
2) I’ve just started working in the NHS. There are so many Nigerian nurses keeping the whole thing together, I thank god they were drawn to our country or who knows where we’d be.
Actually I think Phoenix had the best answer:
*sigh*

It isn't your country. You are simply a servant of country.
Who says these people don't live by the rules. What about English tourists in Ibiza, taking E and other drugs. Surely they are not living by the rules there but you say nothing about it.
Immigrants are necessary. Legal immigration is a necessity for most countries in order to maintain the workforce. If they break the rules they should be punished just like anyone else in the country.

Tolerance and understanding is what we need. I was not born here but I class myself first as British as this is where I live and all I know. Britian is a very liberal country but I feel that some people often take advantage of this and do or say things which would not be tolerated in their mother land. It is not what you say but how you say it and put your point accross. This should be done without stirring up anger or resentment.

In what way is it your country?
Just 'cause you signed up for the armed forces it doesn't mean that the country belongs to you.
It belongs to all of the people, not just you. If you don't like immigration policy then either campaign for change or run for public office and change it.
Stop picking on immigrants. They are no different than your ancestors.

Well at least someone has the balls to say the truth. So many people are so frightened of sounding politically incorrect they forget the reality of what has been happening to our country. I know I wouldn't go to Russia and expect everyone to start speaking English just to accommodate me. I would make an attempt to learn some Russian! I also wouldn't expect food shops to start selling fish n chips just for me, I would get used to Russian food! I think it is very arrogant to go to another country and expect everyone to curtail to your way of life. That's why a lot of the French hate the English because a lot of us go over there and just expect everybody to know English with making no effort to learn at least a bit of the language. I don't think as many people would mind immigrants coming over if they were going to at least try and accept that they are in a different country where they have different laws and rules which everybody has to abide by. They alienate themselves by making themselves different instead of trying to integrate themselves into their new society. They cling on to customs of a country they, by choice, no longer live in.

As the old adage goes, "when in Rome, do as the Roman's do" In the US, immigrants get to come here and essentially make their own rules, and we have to live by the rules they make. How crazy is that?

Which country? I presume by your overwhelming ignorance, you must be American. In which case, I don't come to your country, it's a shi*hole, with nothing to offer. No culture, heritage, art, literature. The only potential thing of interest might be Las Vegas, which is like 10,000 Blackpools stuck together to create probably the most gaudy,gauche,obscenity in the whole world.

I notice you already have one thumbs down, but we as people have freedom of speach.. and you are choosing to use your freedom on here... why do you get thumbs down for this? I understand exactly where you are coming from!!
If we were in those coutries would the western man/women be allowed to show flesh or walk into a temple/mosque with shoes on? I doubt it very much
This is why there are so many problems Governement can cause so many problems.... why should we conform in our country when others dont..

Why wouldn't an illegal alien want to blend in with his/her surroundings ? Why would you want to draw attention to the fact that you are indeed illegal.The marching in our streets,the tearing down of our flag,its desecration at your hands.The total disrespect of this nations laws and its people certainly doesn't do your cause any good.All it has done is to turn more voters against you.
How do you really expect the American people to react to your actions.We have the radical nuts of LaRaza ,MM,and other "Lets take over the US "groups,and we have people on here telling us theres nothing we can do about it.But you are very wrong.We as legal Americans can stop this influx of unconfined illegal aliens.We can demand change in policy's,change in laws demand enforcement of our laws.We have that power and its our legal lawful vote.Don't get too comfortable,you may not be here as long as you think.
No amnesty
Deportation not legalization
Secure our borders.
