AIBU?

to not understand why people think it's a good idea to flood the country with people of other races and cultures?

It is said that multiculturalism is a 'good' thing, why? You want your kids to mix with people of other cultures - take them on holiday.

Why is it a good to create areas with pockets of people from other countries who don't particularly want to be here, like us, our culture, food or weather, and are basically only here to bleed (for want of a better word) the country dry of as much money/services as they can get? That is the ugly truth. A lot of their money is not put back in the economy here, it goes out of the country to build houses/buy cars for their families back 'home'.

In my street (coucil housing), 7 out of 15 houses are occupied by foreign nationals. They do not mix with anyone else except their fellow countrymen (the 2 polish families have riotous barbecues every weekend). As I walk to the town centre, at least 1 of out every 3 groups of people are talking in a foreign tongue, they would not pass the time of day with you and I am far outside London.

Explain how this is benefitting our society as a whole. The old chestnut 'they are doing jobs we don't want to do' is wearing thin. If we needed doctors and nurses etc, why was this not planned in advance and quotas not figured out to make sure our young were trained for these jobs with incentives put in place? Is'nt that what the government is supposed to do? At least they would be putting their wages back into our economy.

Call me a racist - whatever. I know what I'm talking about with first hand experience.

Flame away.

TheSnickeringFox · 01/07/2011 23:20

Yeah, you tell it like it is, man.

mercibucket · 01/07/2011 23:21

did the BNP join on masse or something?

yeah, you're right. I heard something the other day about 'rivers of blood' if this goes on much longer

DogsBestFriend · 01/07/2011 23:21

Are you honestly about the only (presumably British) person in the UK who has no friends or relatives who have emigrated abroad?

Think about it...

inkystinky · 01/07/2011 23:21

Are you related to a german man with a moustache?

GypsyMoth · 01/07/2011 23:22

Omigawd · 01/07/2011 23:23

You get better food. And they have goats.....

pipsqueak · 01/07/2011 23:23

OP cant be arsed to flame you - tis pointless with your attitude

BecauseImWorthIt · 01/07/2011 23:23

This is only his/her second post on MN, btw ...

SposeIOughtToNameChange · 01/07/2011 23:23

Ooooh my very first

BelleDameSansMerci · 01/07/2011 23:24

Ooooh, immigrants and a death penalty thread in one evening... And the same OP. What are the chances?

FabbyChic · 01/07/2011 23:24

I have to say that I feel it is really sad when a child goes to school and is the only white child, and the only English speaking

If you want to live in Australia you have to speak English. If you want to live here you should be able to speak the language first.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 01/07/2011 23:24

jeez is it rabid racist week?

winnybella · 01/07/2011 23:25

But presumably these children learn English pretty fast, don't they, Fabby?

maypole1 · 01/07/2011 23:25

Ho hum.

And in your street are trolls taking all the jobs as well.

May I ask you if you have a job you seem to have a lot of time to just stroll about

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 01/07/2011 23:25

You started the capital punishment thread too.

On a roll tonight, aren't you?

hester · 01/07/2011 23:25

Are you seriously trying to tell me that there are immigrants living here who don't appreciate our weather?

BoysAreLikeDogs · 01/07/2011 23:26

I am imagining the OP as a bluff colonel type with white hair and yellowing teeth

Asinine · 01/07/2011 23:26

Ugly, yes, truth, no.

Would you also ban British people from travelling to work abroad?

Pass the

Hello HoHumm

I am guessing that you are very bored and want to stir a little controversy on the mn board. Is it because you think we have a reputation for being liberal, wooly-jumper wearers or something?

The television schedule is dire tonight, isn't it?

I don't have any exciting party to go to tonight, either; so I have some sympathy there.

Still, I think the messages you are posting to liven up your evening are a little ick, to put it mildly.

Perhaps a more positive way to spend the hours before bed might be to try some recreational cooking? Dig out an old recipe book, and see if there's anything in there you could make with what's in your fridge and cupboards. You could have it for lunch/dinner tomorrow, and pat yourself on the back that you've turned some empty hours to personal profit and satisfaction.

fuck right off op

hth

allegrageller · 01/07/2011 23:27

I am really noticing a massive influx of right wing nutters onto the web in general (see RobF on other threads ad nauseam).

Something must be rattling them. Is it the full moon or the fact that the unions haven't been broken yet?

Candid · 01/07/2011 23:27

The country is not flooded. Go look at some statistics.

allegrageller · 01/07/2011 23:27

oh, and see Guardian CiF ad nauseam too, it's full of them.

Hello there usualsuspect :) once again I fear the OP isn't listening :D
