Are my views racist?

I think its time to

Room for one more at the back!!!

Going back to the Original post, without defining what is and isnt racist liske a bunch of public sector managers:

No your views aren't racist. It is only pragmatic to stop the influx. We enjoy a good standard of living in this country, the thought of 10million more people here clogging up the roads, building on our beautiful countryside and clogging up hospital wards, education systems, benefit systems is not a good one. it is human nature to want what's best for yourself, unfortunately in the last few decades brits cannot speak openly without being accused of something and doubting their own views without lots and lots of unneeded justification.

You don't have anything against the individuals, but you dont want the masses coming into this country.

Don't think it's so much colour or race in the correct sense that causes problems but cultural differences certainly do. Whatever you want to call it, it is perfectly normal for people to want to be with their own kind, why else do you think migrants always go where their compatriots are, often mixing very little with society at large?

It is only called racist if white people want it, typical of the double standards of "antiracism" that should be more properly called inverted racism. Whites are expected to see their neighbourhoods completely transformed, to feel like strangers on their own streets, to see their own views count less with every election and say nothing. The scale and pace of change in so many major cities and now even in every little village in the South East is beyond anything reasonable.

It is entirely idiotic to pretend that average people from poor and uneducated societies are as useful as anyone in the UK or that those from violent and fragmented societies are as likely to be good citizens. Check the government's own stats on welfare for Bangladeshies or the prison population for Somalians.

None of those generalities would matter of we had an immigration system that checked people properly, one English speaking, law abiding high earner with a commmitment to the important British values is as good as another.

Welcome them in and get them playing cricket for England

I don't recall Graeme Hick having a successful career for England, though. Although a white Zimbabwean coach did bring the ashes home in 2005 and a different one did it in 2009.

Security.

I believe British ex-pats who have emigrated tend to do this as well.

Christ, imagine being brought up in PC World. You'd grow up thinking 1GB of RAM costs £99.

And you thought Apple memory was expensive

It seems like yesterday it was £30/Mb.

Pah! That's nothing you young whippersnapper, I remember paying about £130 for a 1/2 Meg expansion for my Amiga.

I'm sure that Zeity has been called many things. A whippersnapper is unlikely to be one of them

[Doggy Styles]

Whatever. We need poeple to do the jobs uneducated people used to do.

No we don't. We've got millions on the dole already.

This, one must admit, is true

£80 for my first calculating engine sticks in my mind.
