Very good. If you've managed 25 days at that rate in the last 12 monts then you've just beat me.

FTFY. Except Sas is doubtless exaggerating just as much

FTFY.

Sassy, you did it again, you made me look normal, rather than a complete nutter. Welcome back.

Did your all boys school fail to prepare you for socialising with people?

CUK, please can you extend the ignore facility to make it ignore quotes by ignored people? Ta.

PS Also an "Ignore everyone except zeity" option would be great. Then I can just un-ignore a few other people. Much easier.
PPS Also an ignore self option, then would not waste time posting here.

[eek]

Possibly.
Just like your comp turned you into a poorly-educated, humourless gimp.

So you admit to being socially inept.....

Wow, wow! On the evidence of your post you have crystal ball in your statistical toolbox.

No I'm measuring them by their IQ. On the evidence of your posts, yours is average at best. The truth hurts.

If you are measuring the worth of people by their willingness to lick your backside.

It comes down to when they joined. So NZ, Australia, Canada, S Africa were in at the start, India & Pakistan joined in the 40s when they became independent, so may actually be "new", Bangladesh I'm not sure about as they separated from Pakistan later on. There may be some other "old" countries but AFAIK everywhere that joined after that is "new", there are about 50 in total.

thanks. also found it here:

Sorry I am genuinely confused. Are you classifying India as "old" commonwealth"? Do you know where I can find the "new/old" classification?

I do not deny that EU8 immigration to the UK was taking place since the borders opened for the free flow of capital, goods, services and people. I merely demonstrated that historically EU8 migration was a small portion of the overall migration - a simple fact that is very often lost during fervent anti EU discussions.

You've repeatedly stated that the total EU migration is only 20% of the total, when in fact it represents close to 40% of the foreigners who have come here since 2004 and about 30% of the net migration.

Even if you restrict your argument to the "EU8" countries, those 8 fairly small countries make up 15% of the net migration of foreign nationals into the UK over the last decade. That's hardly a "small portion" as it's slightly more than came from the rest of the EU including Bulgaria and Romania.

Mediocre immigrants (...) e.g. Mos are no use to anyone.

If you are measuring the worth of people by their willingness to lick your backside.

Yes really. if you look at migration from the "old" commonwealth (i.e. India, Canada, Australia, NZ etc) it fell from 62k to 24k over the same period, a drop of more than 50%.

I also believe that curbing the size of bogus college industry which resulted in sharp decrease of non EU migration was a good thing but I am wary of a few other anti immigration measures. I can also see how these restrictions could create resentment among Asian population who still feel that England 'Owe them'.
