BBC1 - Immigration - now

[Leighgull]

That is a question that only those who lived under its rule will be able to assess properly. Of those I have asked the question to, the answer runs down a clear class divide.

Judging by the fact that the two groups most keen to migrate to Britain, or more specifically England, are Indians and Pakistanis I think you have your answer.

Clearly England offers something very attractive to those former vassals.

It's going to be a few more years before people start experiencing what other towns and cities have experienced in this country down here. When it hits and towns start changing at a rapid pace, only then will people see immigration for what it really is. I think a lot of people will then start questioning what the purpose of it is, because what is the purpose?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

When you can walk down a street in the UK and feel intimidated and that you don't belong. When you can enter a shopping centre and not hear your native language. When you are frightened to be white and native, you know that something is not right within your country.
This is not racism,it is realism.

Realism is living in a mainly Asian area in the north but not fearing anything. Not intimidation or fright. We got on well with our neighbours.

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

The subject will always be divided. Well I'm on the side of there being too many people here. It's also more than just people coming to work here, there is cultural and religious aspects of this to take in to consideration as well. When somebody comes here from another country and puts their own culture and religion above our own, we have a problem. That's certainly not integrating in my book. I have had my experience and it doesn't work in my opinion.

I presume therefore you have never been to a Chinese, Italian or Indian restaurant in the UK? I also presume that you attend church regularly and believe in a Christian god

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

isn't that pretty much exactly balanced out by the same number of english people living abroad?

what a wet and washy reply , that's not the issue is it

It is paranoia.

This is such nonsense. Inner cities and estates will continue he to fill up with poor folks from all nations and the rest of the country will continue to fill up with educated, better off people from all nations. The invasion isn't coming, you just lived in a shit hole.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Try explaining this to people, your wasting your time. Until it effects people on a personal level, they will not see any problems. 800 new homes are needed in Newhaven, however if you look at the state of manufacturing it hasn't changed in 10 years, and yet we have more people than ever down here. The 800 homes promise so much, be we all know deep down it will do absolutely nothing apart from creating even more of an impact on our services in the long run.

And how many of those 'more people than ever' are people who are living there as they have been priced out of Brighton?

 

[Nibble]

We had all this bobbins when the blacks from Jamaica came over, daring to bring a bit if their culture with them. I wouldn't want to imagine London without them now. I always rub one for luck when I spot 'em.

You just know the Bashlsdr's and PPF's of this world will spend their retirements on a tatty armchair, peeking out the curtains to see who's outside, getting brought cups of tea and moaning at their long suffering family about how they don't watch Top Gear since Krishnin Guru Murphy, Caitlin Moran and Stewart Lee took over hosting duties and being slightly miffed the Romanians never did actually launch a full scale attack and we aren't run by Sharia law. But it's coming, you wait! You won't be laughing when they loony left are turfing you out of your home at 3am and moving 25 Gypsies and all their nappies in.

Quality of life sir, making sure we have the space, the jobs and the services to cope with all the extra people, nothing wrong with that.
800 extra homes apparently needed in Newhaven, but no talk about improving the local services to cope with it.

There's a housing shortage because the white upper class in the UK, including the beloved Cameron want it that way. If there were enough houses their property portfolios wouldn't be worth half as much. Nothing to do with immigrants I'm sorry to tell you.

What about them? They snap up that 7 Million pound Kensington pad you had your hopes pinned on?These aren't the foreigners that are moving into your local housing estate or opening up fried chicken shops though are they. They are Tory pals getting a good deal.

Anyway, I'm not going further down this road, it's an absolute front porcher out there and I'm off to pick some runner beans and raspberries off the allotment. Have a nice day.

Nor is it a new phenomenon. My mum lives in North London and we regularly go to Kenwood for family walks. On the way to the park and house there's a row of houses known as Billionairre's Row. Owned now by wealthy Turks and Kazaks though some are empty. However it has always been thus. It was Saudi royals and oil magnates thirty years ago.

I doubt thats the case , why on earth should his views mean that it should be ?

Because he has objected to immigrants bringing their culture (and food is a key part of culture) to the uk.

And because if he's not a practicing Christian why does he care that immigrants aren't converting to Christianity when entering the uk.

He has objected to immigrants placing their culture and religion above our own , this is one of the consequences

if you think tbis wont start becoming more and more prevalent you're living in a dream world , as this story proves you dont have to be a practising christian to object to an immigrants religion being placed above our own.

North of a line from Bristol to, say, Peterborough, how much of a housing crisis is there?
How much of the problem is due to England turning into what is effectively a city-state?
