    Yes, go ahead, twist my words and reduce my point to absurdity.
    If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

      OK.
      But there's not much twisting needed to reduce you to absurdity.

        Where are you getting these UKiP leaflets, can I get some just for laughs ?

        Polish minority increased to 7.7% from 1.3% of foreign born being here legally. There are also 9.9% foreign born Indians, 6.4% Pakistanis and 2.2% Bangladeshis. I maintain that the illegal immigration is likely huge, and 0% Polish.

        I have been all over England prior to 2004 and I do maintain that you are trying to push all the migration negativities which I found shocking back then on the Polish migration. You can fool those who do not know pre 2004 reality, but not me.

          I can see that your capabilities in this department are very limited so I wanted to make it easy for you. Thanks for noticing.

            Naturally. It is CUK after all.

              How is it "moronic"? Unless you're an IMF vampire.

                The Indian population has grown over a long period, 50 years or more and is very well assimilated into British life. There are also quite a lot of people who were born in India to British parents, hence some of the discrepancy between the figure for those born in India and those with Indian nationality. The same is true of both US & German born "immigrants" who make up the rest of the top 5 by birth, as in fact most of the 300,000 or so German born UK residents are the spouses and children of servicemen who were stationed in Germany.

                I think you'll also find that Indians, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have been on the receiving end of rather a lot more racism than the Poles, simply by virtue of being here longer. I used to work in an Indian (actually Bangladeshi) restaurant in the small town I grew up in, many years ago, (they wanted someone with good English to take orders over the phone) and I was regularly abused by people who were buying food there at the time. Even now the irony in that brings a smile to my face....
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Which is absolute bollocks! What's to stop Brits going to Poland or other countries in the EU because nothing is stopping them, especially not the EU.
                  That is not the point is it? There is nothing to stop Brits going to Poland other than the fact that Poland has no jobs that Brits would be interested in. The fact is that Britain is the repository for any unemployed citizen in the Uk to come to for work. who is losing out? British workers of course.

                      If I ever decided to apply for British citizenship I would count as Polish born British national.
                      Indians and Pakistanis apply for British passport as soon as they can, we tend not to. That is the major source of the gap between these two graphs, in my opinion. Which is more than enough to explain why we are so poorly treated by all three parties.

                      Cities like Bradford, Southall or even Wembley ... is this the British way of life? If it is, then I do not have any further arguments except to point out that I naively believed that British life is more Wimbledon/Barnes like.

                      Prior to 2013 I have not experienced much abuse from native English/second gen West Indians, but I was treated breathtakingly poorly by second generation immigrants from Asia, Turkey and Middle East. Now its different.
