He's also a little naive if he thinks every country in the world welcomes migrants with open arms.

There are parts of France and Spain where there is a backlash against all the Brits who have moved there. Just as in eastern Europe there is anger because property has been priced out of the local's reach, because of the influx of western European investors, and second home owners.

I was actually reading yesterday about the terrible abuse suffered by German Jews, many whom were concentration camp survivors, when they went to the newly created state of Israel in the late 40's. The more orthodox settlers didn't think them Jewish enough, or capable of hard work.

So it just isn't Brits who are against mass emigration.

I know I failed maths 'O' level but isn't 20% a minority?

Never mind France and Spain. There was a road sign in Scotland on the A82, somewhere near Bridge of Orchy if I recall correctly. Sprayed upon it was the slogan 'White settlers go home'.

This what I like to hear from Accy Webber's.. the legendary good old Lancashire welcome to our fellow Europeans !!
Reminds me of Huddersfield.. a lady was telling me she had lived there for 40 years yet people still called her an "incomer".. was "The League of Gentlemen " really based on Ossie???

I lived in Scotland for three years, and outside of the cosmopolitan cities, racism against non-Scots is rife.

Better to pretend to be deaf and dumb, than speak with an English accent.;)

.

If you look at my previous postings you will see figures quoted of 59% who have no religous affiliation. Add the 20 % Muslim p0prulation and it makes 79% who consider themselves not Christians on non practicing Christians. This is a very large majority to have Sunday closing forced upon them

No I would not, the difference being....I am here by choice, I don't expect or collect benefits, I observe the laws of the country.
I have lived in Spain for a total of 9 years and never once have I been confronted or abused by any Spanish people.
Spain are experiencing the same influx of EU Nationals who have no work.
Vagrancy laws in Spain are such that if you can't support yourself...go home....That applies to all Nationalities.
