Sir Patrick Moore was accused of racism yesterday after claiming that Britain was being “swamped by parasites”.

The astronomer and television presenter made the comment while addressing a pensioners’ meeting organised by the charity, Age Concern.

He criticised the amount of Government and National Lottery money given to immigrants, compared with that spent on the elderly.

“We are being swamped by people who come here because we are a soft touch. I know people will say ‘racist, racist, racist’,” he said.

Asked to clarify his point outside the meeting in Winchester, Hants, the 79-year-old presenter of The Sky At Night said: “We are being swamped by parasites. Call me a racist but I would send them all back to where they came from.

TV astronomer Patrick Moore has expressed some frank views on Germany, and Britain’s other European neighbours, in the latest issue of Radio Times magazine.

“I’m no European,” Moore, 89, told E Jane Dickson. “Why? Go to Europe and look around. The Germans tried to conquer us. The French betrayed us. The Belgians did very little and the Italians made us our ice cream.

“Just look at the world now and look at it when we had a bigger say in it. The English are best. Stand up for England!”

Although he will not discuss his role in the Second World War, the Sky at Night presenter is thought to have distinguished himself in both the military and in British Intelligence. And his wartime experiences - including the death of his fiancée in a bombing raid aged just 20 - have had a negative influence on his view of Germany.

Same thing now in the U.S. Our government could care less about the elderly or the working tax payers.

To prove this, there are tens of millions of Americans out of work or under employed, as our social services, hospitals, roads, jails, resources, schools and jobs are strained to the breaking point. Yet the government continues to flood the country with foreigners from all over the planet.

United people are extremely difficult for governments to control.

They understand full well dividing the once united, allows for more government control on it's march towards total socialism and domination.

He’s dang right, we are suffering under the same problem as the UK when it comes to immigrants who want to get on our welfare and become deadbeats. I agree with him, send the deadbeats back.
