they use the local schools, their children play outside, the parents take on any job, as long as it pay, instead of relying on benefits. they integrate with the society that extists, instead of segregating themselves like th middle classes of the uk do.

they are also interesting and have converstations that do not revolve around income

Racial prejudice or class prejudice, both wrong.

Nothing like sweeping generalisations to get a good argument going!

Disco, there are lots of things I like about immigrants too :)

Britain is founded on immigration, thats why we are rich and vibrant and ever evolving, and have been for 2,000 years.

They all do those things, do they? That's nice for them Hmm

discorabit if you lived in an area like mine you might change your mind about
them integrating socially. It is more like the remaining indiginous population integrating with the immigrants. My grandson is one of only two non-Muslims in his class.

what a load of old bollocks. 'i like immigrants' Confused. i like people whether they are 'immigrants' or not, what does it matter? and immigrants DO use private schools as well as state ones, what a ridiculous thing to say, again, what does it matter? 'their children play outside' 'middle classes don't mix' wtf :-D

Anyone else imagine the OP lives in Little Britain and typed this idealistic generalised nonsense while wearing a twin set and pearls? Grin

OP I live in a London Borough that's as diverse as you're ever going to get

And I can honestly tell you that immigrants are as individual as anyone else

You can no more tar them with a wonderful brush as you can with a bad one...the same as Brits or any other group of people.
