      That's good and presumably Indians as well, as they also share a common heritage and language.
      I'm alright Jack

        If you say so, what happens when they all look like this though?

        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Look like what sorry? They look like members of the human race to me. Do you have a point?

                So are Eastern Europeans, so what's your gripe about Eastern Europeans?

                  Given the choice - I'd rather a few more Aussies that EEs given the shared heritage, language, cultures etc. that's just how it is for me.

                  I don't have a problem with any people's colour country creed religion or hue as long as they obey our laws and respect our values.

                  I do However have a problem with uncontrolled migration numbers of which we have no say in letting in.

                      Aboriginal Australians are the only proper Australians and their culture is very different from UK culture. The one imposed on them by the colonisers has turned some of them into drunks and addicts.

                      The people who have emigrated to Australia over the centuries come from a wide range of countries including Eastern European ones, African ones and Asian ones. These cultures are all present in the UK already.

                      Anyway it's nice you want people who have a completely different non-European culture to come and live in the UK. Though I doubt they would really want to come and live here due to the lack of land for hunting and sea for fishing.
