Spain or France have way more immigration than in the UK (most of it being in London). A lot of people in small places in the UK are afraid that someone with better job skills will take their job (when they have never seen an immigrant outside of the sun newspaper or the TV). Makes me laugh, really. Plus they colonized half the world in the first place anyway, what did they expect ?

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.
Oscar Wilde
Land: A part of the earth's surface, considered as property. The theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control is the foundation of modern society, and is eminently worthy of the superstructure.

Well wasn't it last year that France had riots in the streets by immigrants who wanted jobs and better housing, I personally have no problem with anyone going to live or work in another country were ever it is in the world, what I do have a problem with is people coming into our country or other countries demanding we do things their way, abide by the culture, law and rules of the country you go to live or work in, otherwise stay away.

You do not know what you are talking about. I am English and I live in England.I do not moan about immigration, we have very very few where I live. As for Spain and France they are several times larger than the U.K. so they can absorb several times more people. I am not afraid that someone will take my job`, because I own the company.I have never seen an immigrant in the Sun newspaper, because I have never read the Sun newspaper. I watch about thirty minutes T.V. a week and can not remember the last time I saw an immigrant on the Teletubbies
show, but I will keep my eyes open for one. I am really glad that it all gives you a good laugh, because you must be such a miserable self centred son of a cow pat, to think that you can come to this country and complain about our immigrants. YES our immigrants. We can complain all we want to, but if you know what is good for you, you had better keep your views to yourself. Go and clean the cow dung off your boots and then we may let you walk on the soil of this "Green and Pleasant "land.

I suggest you look at an atlas. France and Spain are ten times (roughly) bigger than the UK is!!! Having been to France and Spain, I can tell you that THEY moan as well (including about BRITISH immigrants - who don't even bother to learn their language)!!! I live in an area in the North-West of England where there are plenty of immigrants (both legal and illegal) and we don't live near a city of any size. Statistically, numbers of immigrants are far higher here when you compare population figures!!!

Have you noticed how much bigger France and Spain is compared to the uk. We are only a small island. We are eating into the Green belt, if we carry on at the rate we are going, there will no green fields, no wildlife because they will have no where for them to live only a concrete jungle. I live in the beautiful countryside, I could not live in the city. I think people have good reason to moan.

The only reason immigrants are in Spain and France is cuz there on there way here. You don't find them hiding under the chunnel trains and in Lorry's that are leaving the UK do you?

Your questions rubbish.
In my town, (reasonably provincial) i frequently hear people in the checkout que, speaking, mainly, russian (or derivatives).
This was unheard of, 5 years ago. Its epidemic.
Are you not british? You have a very good grasp of this inferior toungue?
England is small, geographically, but most of the world, including you, speak it. You use our "operating system"! (so to speak)

Could you provide the statistics to prove your claim…then I might make a comment on your deliberately provocative question. Cheers.
