    Your farmlands are worked by foreigners, your cafes are staffed by them.

    Your airports are owned by foreigners and much of your elite property is owned by foreigners too?

    Does it also bother you that your children may in all probablity be guarding, teaching and wiping @ss in Beijing Moscow or Mumbai in 25 years?

    Tom White's family has been selling land in Lincolnshire for three generations and he has seen the influx at first hand.

    "Over the last two years I've sold just 12% of the land on our books to UK farmers.

    "The rest has gone to overseas buyers, mainly from Ireland and Denmark, and the rest to investors who have made their money outside agriculture," he says.



    Owned.

          You and your new money don't impress me, no sireee.

          Takes centuries of inbreeding to produce a truly dim species of Homo Sapiens, before it'll impress the likes of me. You're pretty close though, some might even say you've got a natural advantage ...

              I thought anyone could get in as long as you pay some money to the government, or even cheaper if they come from Europe? Anyone not in those two categories can come 'illegally' but will be ignored and then get amnesty later?

                Getting into the UK.

                1. Are you from Europe?

                Yes, welcome in.

                2. Are you from outside Europe?

                Yes, you are studying English at an approved School? Welcome in?


                3. You are from outside Europe and you don't have any good reason to be here?

                Yes, your country of origin is very nasty, you are seeking asylum, welcome in.

                4. You are from outside Europe and you don't have any good reason to be here and your country of origin is very nice?

                Yes, how about a holiday visa, welcome in.
