Question Details: For 2,000+ years the British have fought everyone including the Vikings, Romans, Saxons, Normans and Germans who wanted to settle in Britain.
The lives of British soldiers have been sacrificed for 2 millenium to protect our land and heritage.
Why have the Government spent the last 50 years giving it all away?
What did those soldiers die for?

Prince H. You lost me. What part of my question racist? All of the examples I gave of invaders who Britain fought were Caucasians, like the British. There was no part of my question referring to other races, that is your obsession, not mine. And in what part of my question did I refer to freedom? It seems that your answer was to a question in your own head, not one that I asked, so perhaps your insults should be directed at yourself too, because they are not about what I asked.
Immigration is not a race issue. In the history of Britain no soldiers have ever been asked by our government to fight for the freedom of citizens of other countries to settle in England and superimpose their own culture on British traditions.
Next time I suggest you use a more informed source for your answers.

Captain Jack. Before you criticise my facts you should check your own.
Google:
300 to 600AD the Angles Saxons and Jutes invaded England successfully but were not able to defeat the Celts and Picts who were pushed back into Wales and Scotland.
Battle of Largs in 1263 which the Scots beat the Vikings.
Hadrians Wall for details of the Scots fighting the Romans. Do you think Hadrian built that as part of a job creation scheme?
Actually yours was the Answer, mine was the Question, and mine is based on Historical fact, yours is not.
There is not one word of even implied racism in my question. I think everything about immigration should be applied equally regardless of race.
My question is Nationalistic and Patriotic because it is about the sacrifice of life made by British soldiers.
What moral justice is there in asking a man to give his life for his country then for the government to give away what he died to protect?

Hi
WAKEY-WAKEY, it's got nothing to do with our government, they're told by Brussels what to do just like the two million Africans we have to accept in the new year as part of our agreement for joining the E.U. remember the referendum Gordon promised us, you've more chance of seeing a rocking horse s.h.i.t, watch this space the country's close to melt-down, why d'you think the government panicked and allowed our new chancellor Alister Darling to prop up Northern Rock with £50 billion and they wouldn't give anything to help secure jobs at Rover in Longbridge? then they said it would be wasting tax payers money, now they're saying nothing. Oh God how I hope I'm wrong, d'you think the exodus of Brits out of the country is because they want to live in the sunshine?.

As a Brit, it isn't any longer proper to me plenty, that's barely an extremely small minority that don't assimilate and whilst they do no longer, their babies do because of the fact is the society they are stated in. around the line from me, there's a Muslim kinfolk which has a christmas tree up and yuletide light fixtures, i replaced into extremely bowled over particularly as they positioned them up 2 weeks till now we did. i do no longer strategies mosques the two to be honest because of the fact human beings ashould be allowed to coach any faith presented it would not injury others. I recommend my ultimate pal is a Muslim and he loves the united kingdom, he celebrates christmas no longer the finished on christian christmas, however the widespread christmas with christmas wood and giving provides to a minimum of one yet another and coming along with his kinfolk. get waiting for the thumbs down!

British never fought the Vikings Romans or Saxons.
"Next time I suggest you use a more informed source for your answers."
I would suggest you practice what you preach.
On the racism issue, no what you said was not in itself racist. But it was sufficient evidence of an underlying racist attitude for someone to make the charge.
....
Um, yeah they invaded this island. But not this country, it hasn't existed for long. We are as much decended from the invading forces as the defending ones!
England did not even exist as a unified country until the 10th century, so for the first milennia of those two we were at war with ourself. Under your logic I am dishnouring my Mercain forefathers by marrying someone from Anglia, and it is an insult that she is allowed to live up here.
Your historical facts about when we were invaded are accurate, your analysis is woefully inadequate.
As I said nothing you have said is racist. It is nationalist. Vehement nationalism is usually indicative of racism. Comparing immigration to invasion is not racism, but it is bigotry that is as bad as racism.

A great question. We have had no proper government for at least the last 50 years; just a bunch of self-seeking, treacherous bastards. Immigrants mean votes (why should this be so?). Big business likes cheap labour because it seeks profit without regard to the long-term consequences. The white race is seen as bad, "racist" (whatever that means) and due for extinction. There will be BIG TROUBLE here sooner or later, I am sure.

I don't understand your question. Are you being racist? The Germans in WW2 were obviously invaders. Are you suggesting that today's immigrants from East Europe are also invaders and we should fight them with arms? We're in a union (the EU). Part of that union is free movement of people and goods. We weren't forced in to that union. And we could leave if we wanted.
And much of what we once had and fought for, has been lost because we're no longer a super-power and literally cannot afford to maintain an empire of any size. But this is the same everywhere in history. Rome was once great and powerful, but things change.
Sorry if I misunderstand you, and no offence intended.

Have you read the news from WHO report?
In 2200, there is no white in this world. Just look at the streets of NYC( not just Manhattan), LA( not just Beverly hills)
Racist never exist in China and many third world country including some East Europe because there is only one race there.

Right - lets study this.
In this country we are accustomed to live one family per house/flat etc.
Working on the minimum wage means you will more than likely be liable for council tax etc. So after they have paid their Income Tax and National Insurance, rent, mortgage, council tax etc; the costs of travelling to work (most factories are now outside of the towns on Industrial estates ) then bought food there'll be very little left for luxuries.
Dolies Druggies and Alchies on the other hand have this lot paid for them and the dole they receive is pure spending money. A worker catching the bus everyday watching the afore mentioned gents of leisure is evenutally going to get p****d off and join 'em. But not being a Druggy or Alchy who get special treatment because of their "illnesses" the ex worker get forced back into a job that is costing him money to do.
Immigrants are another kettle of fish - they can afford the rents and council taxes because they are living 20 to 30 in a house (Headlines in our local newspaper about a month ago)
"Our Economy is the most successful blah blah blah .... ! !" ??
It certainly is for those getting the benefit of the enormous profits being made.

Is the diversity a common principle of the world?
China is fast developing country, it never allow any immigrants( its green card only decoration), it only allow invest and high tech in, let over population out.
US is sample of diversity, the culture, society is totally impacted, many american feel alien in their own home country and tons of lawsuit for race discrimination, human rights of illegal immigrants.
That is why chinese LOL at westerns they dig tomb for themselves.
