We are moving into a new world folks, whether you like it or not.
Britons have been fleeing the British Isles in large numbers for almost four centuries. (their descendants make up a huge portion of the American, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand population, and a fair amount of the South African and several Caribbean states’ populations). They have a large population on a couple of [big] islands (more big island now that the Republic of Ireland is independent), and their weather usually isn’t considered ideal by humans.
Lots of my English and Scottish colleagues have parents/older relatives who have retired to Spain and Portugal. If they are younger and looking for an "Anglo-Celtic" culture, Australia would be a better bet than the UK. Folks don't realize but Americans of English descent are a small minority of the US population as a whole, and the white population in aggregate. There are more people of German, Irish, and Italian ancestry in the U.S. than English.
BTW: I have more East Indians within a five mile radius of my house than anyplace in London. Don't have a problem with any of them.
Guess that it goes to show racism is all over the world.....
A lot of those European emigres emigrate to other European countries (i.e. the British moving to Iberia or France for retirement, or the French and Germans moving to the UK for job opportunities).
free at the point of entry mate. we still pay for it over the entirity of our working lives with payments from our wages going direct to National Insurance.
We pay for our healthcare, but we dont give money directly to the NHS hospitals. If we choose to go to a private healthcare organisation, the costs are payed as in the US. But we still make compulsory payments to the NHS.
That's funny... weren't you just saying that UKians were not PC and now you call me a racist for an obvious hyperbole.
Secondly, the number of Asians moving to the UK is far smaller than the number of Eastern Europeans coming here. The UK has never been ‘flooded’ with immigrants. I visited Florida a few years back and didn’t meet a non-hispanic for two weeks. Mexican immigration into the US is on a proportionate scale far larger than immigration to the UK. I heard that in about 10-15 years, 25% of the entire US population will be hispanic.
Who cares. The story here is that people are leaving the UK.
In 2001, only 8.5% of the UK population was non-white. If, in this global age of mass migration UK citizens want to abandon their country beacuse a few more people have come here wanting a better life then you have to question their sense of perspective and, yes, loyalty to the UK. If I was hispanic I would be offended that you're comparing my culture with that of the Muslim hoardes. I rather live in a country that's 75% Hispanic than one that's 10% Muslim. At least I'll have my head and my daughters won't be raped because they think she's a whore anyway.
What about the crews in Staines, Brixton, Longsight and Chorlton?
No, I’m an Italian in Chicago. I would never support Irish emmigration from Britian.. they could stay there.
Bump for the “filthy Asians” being uncalled for, even if not directed at all Asian immigrants in the UK.
Cannibalism becomes illegal?

Americans of English (and especially British — English, Welsh, Scottish, and Irish) descent aren’t all that small a minority in the United States. It isn’t the largest ethnicity (German), but it is still one of the largest.
i.e. 5% of the American population is still over 25% of the English population (since it’s around 25% of the UK population).
...my daughters won’t be raped because they think she’s a whore anyway.
Except by illegal immigrants who have been arrested and deported on multiple occasions.
there is that much of the world to see only an idiot wouldn’t consider moving abroad to taste a foreign lifestyle for a few years. you come back, probably knowing another language, and are all the better for it.
Other countries have lots to offer

pan-Europe pinglist ping.
More proof that the surge is working. - tom
The Polish ad in response to the French stereotype about them was ‘interesting’ to say the least.
