Have to say that in my travels I've found England really is the most tolerant country in the world.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Just wait until Turkey joins the EU, then you really will have something to bitch about. About 10 million Kurds (BBC News categorisation: "good foreigners, due to them being persecuted, anyone who is persecuted is always 100% good, like poor Somalis") will be loading up their donkeys and heading over.
They don't even have basic plumbing or brick laying skills.Comment

There are limits. If you dont agree then tell me another country that is more tolerant than the UK (Thats UK Sandy, all of it, not just England).Originally posted by SandyDown View PostGuys I don't suppose these posts shows any intolerance of any kind eh? I was told that English people are very very tolerant of foreigners... in fact LG said England is the best country in the world for tolerance... don't disappoint him please
We simply can not afford to keep being so generous.
It is not a lack of tolerance.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Sandy. I don't think it is an issue of tolerance. I have no objection to any EU citizen moving anywhere and working if the rules are applied consistently. If this were the case, there simply wouldn't have been the disproportianate social strain put on a few countries (and the corresponding beneift to businesses reliant on cheap labour would have been less I suppose.)Originally posted by SandyDown View PostGuys I don't suppose these posts shows any intolerance of any kind eh?

I rely on the same legislation to live where I do but sometimes I can't see what the point of the whole eu structure.Comment

oooooh careful there mate, you are not showing your infamous English tolerance ...Originally posted by GreenerGrass View PostOK, why haven't you moved to Saudi yet? Surely it is the Islamic utopia?
btw: don't remember ever saying I wanted to move to Saudi, all I said is I'd like to try a contract in Dubai, so all of you started showing unbelievable intolerance and attacking me as if I said Jehovah’s name in vainComment

I've always said England, not the UK you started saying the UK, I always maintained it was England am talking about, I've always love the Scots and the Irish and hmmm some of the Welsh but don't know that many
Anyhow, what you are saying here is the English are very very tolerant, but they are not generous with their tolerance??

Us and Ireland.Originally posted by wendigo100 View PostYes and no. We were the only country that didn't apply restrictions to eastern Europeans working here after they joined the EU. Because only 13,000 would come.

2000 years and counting is pretty generous in my book. Just how much do we have to give before you will accept that we are tolerant and generous with it?Originally posted by SandyDown View PostAnyhow, what you are saying here is the English are very very tolerant, but they are not generous with their tolerance??
As I asked show me another nation that is more tolerant.I am not qualified to give the above advice!
