Reply to: Net Migration Hits New Record High of 336,000

It seems though that:

- most of those immigrants are from the 'old' EU countries such as Spain and not the 'new' ones from Eastern Europe
- Possibly a good thing, for example Spain is one of the top countries where immigrants are coming from and most are young whereas the it is also the top emigration where most of the people are old thereby swapping a bunch of old people requiring care for young people who can work
- 30% of those people counted were coming to Britain to study and 46% were to work
- refugees and asylum seekers still represent only 5% of non-British immigration
- these reports are good for the UK because it raises the blood pressure of righties causing them to expire thus taking some of the burden from the NHS

The figures in a handy easy to read chart for you:

You don't half go on about caring about other people.

Not really. I'm pretty uncaring, I think. It's only in comparison to the people of CUK that I look caring.

So anyone that holds a different view to yours is toeing the party line?
Anyone whose views happen to align with the "party line" is brainwashed?

I think you're the blinkered one if that's really what you think. I'm not even sure what the "party line" is I already said I prefer traditionalism. Saying that multiculturalism can work isn't the same as wanting it to happen.

Hence I said "overall".

I don't know that we really do, as the norm anyway. We get pockets of this but we also get a lot of mixing. Look at pubs, work-places, churches, etc and you'll see people mixing it up.

Other nations manage to do the "melting pot" thing very well indeed so it's clearly possible. Maybe Brits aren't very welcoming.

Ever the would-be conciliator, parroting the officially approved line. Does it make you feel important?

You should get some BS PR job

Do you ever visit the South East?

Hence I said "overall".

We end up with zones of different mono-cultures. Not very vibrant either in a lot of cases.

Or, if you want a special treat, Siberia

my granddad was captured by russians and sent there. he had this eyes disease where looking at snow for too long damages them and you have to use sunglasses all the time. Also lost few fingers

focking russians, i'll pass

[OwlHoot]

I actually miss the snow , skiing , or throwing snowballs on each other in -40 freeze.

Not to the point to go back because now I can go to switzerland if i want

Do you ever visit the South East?

If all the Scots, Northerners, Welsh etc. who moved to the more prosperous South East went "home" then there'd be plenty of houses, hospitals, schools etc. for many more immigrants.

more population = more revenue for business = bigger economy = more money for those lucky chosen ones. You get your gigs in banks which are profiting on newcomers setting up accounts or taking out insurances , homes you name it...

I think I would rather move to Poland than live in a UK with 100 million people

[MicrosoftBob]

very few have the skills that are really needed

You mean outsourcing to third world countries ?

See how healthy you feel half way into a Polish winter

Mind you, I suppose one gets used to freezing weather after a while.

it would also be much healthier if there was two way traffic.

We would like your engineers, It specialists, scientists and doctors, more English speaking builders ( very few will move from their "secure" jobs). I have no problem with the poles - the women have a bit too much "attitude" in a positive way!

Should we really be assimilating your population into the UK? Although they are really good at their jobs It is not good for bright graduates to work in low level jobs in retail, bars etc. it would also be much healthier if there was two way traffic.

... according to an old boy who props up the bar at my local,

superfluous - he's obviously you!

I hasten to add that's not the Scroatman take on things....
