Thanks for the positive and the comment.

You're quite welcome, and I'm delighted that you have found the article to be interesting.

Without reviewing the article again, I bet it doesn’t mention that the British taxpayer is really upset because their “legals” go on welfare in the UK then fly to Ireland, as they are in the Euro zone, and sign up for welfare there as well.

The author doesn't go into that incredibly important issue, and I must confess that I hadn't heard about it as being a significant problem up to this point.  One would think that signing up for welfare benefits in multiple locations and receiving multiple, duplicate benefits would be aggressively policed, as I understand it is here in the USA when scumbags try to sign up for benefits simultaneously in multiple States.  If this is a major problem in the U.K. then the economies there are due for collapse in short order.

Although I didn't notice any mention of this issue in the Telegraph reader comments either, some showed a great, deep sadness at what has become of their country, and some had even confessed to being expatriates over these very issues.

In the audio interview available at the Telegraph site, the lady from the Telegraph expresses surprise at the HUGE number of reader responses to the article.  It seems that a great many Britons feel tremendous passion over these issues, yet it seems many are terrified of speaking out about them for fear of prosecution as a 'racist'.  They have come to the Telegraph article en masse to voice their opinions and frustrations anonymously, which in this case is a great benefit that the internet provides.

   The British Isles are small and old, and can only take in so many new people.  For their Governments to continue allowing virtually unrestricted legal immigration for so many years, even when the signs of stress are so very obvious and apparent is truly criminal.  It seems that much of the reluctance of politicians to address these issues is precisely due to the reasons cited by the author of this article, their deep-seated terror of being called a 'racist'.

For their inability to grapple with these fears in a tangible way, they will slowly destroy their country.

Again, well said. My info on the welfare problem is based on a visit 2 years ago to the UK and Ireland. The British taxpayer, the little guy is POd at the taxes. One told me that there have been 108 new or raised taxes since the UK became EU!. The taxi and bus drivers in Dublin told me about the welfare scam, general knowledge there.

As far as Ireland went, they are also PO’d at the UN insisting they take in 2000 Arab Muslims. Yes the UK and Ireland are “old” and geographically small. However they are not as crowded as the US in the habitable areas such as the East Coast, populated with megalopolises.

As far as the US vigorously enforcing the welfare cheats - I left NY 14 years ago. At that time “privacy” precluded NY and NJ from full disclosure and trading SSN(s) was stepped on too. Now NYC (GOP Mayor Blumberg) gives welfare to Muslims with several wives and multiple children from each. Guess they give the City what they give their wives.
