You really have no idea about the state of things over here apart from what you read in the press!!!!!

not insulting anyone , just passing a comment , how many posts have there been on Accy web from folks saying given the first chance they would be out of there , same with the ones who have said ' I wish I had gone 30 years ago when i was younger " I would make the suggestion that over 50% of Accy web users have some family member (sibling or cousin) who has left the UK in the last 50 years , most to Australia or New Zealand , and what did they all have in common ....most had some sort of higher education or a skilled trade.
Seems to me there are more folk who want to blame others for their misfortune than take a good look in the mirror , and its easy to blame the foriegner , seem to remember when the Ugandan Asians first came to Britain in the 70s , they arrived with the clothes on their back ....now look at them , for any "sub-group" they have produced more millionaires than any other ...why ... they got out of bed in the morning and worked .
Yep. I agree , I am an immigrant to a foriegn country , and to survive I had to adapt to the local ways ....probably easier for me because I spoke the language , but we also have thousands of illegal immigrents who move here and because they dont speak the language tend to end up in 'ghetto' communities with their own TV and radio stations and customs , and this does cause some friction , but you can be sure the majority of next generation won't give a damn about their parents origins
