If mt ex-wife hadn't had an affair and then used the bias UK family law to evict me from our marital home, I would have liked to have emigrated to a host of Countries, which are family orientated and non PC.The UK is becoming a grim place, where wasters, immigrants, criminals and PC correctness are the norm and it is not how I will bring my children up.They will have strong traditional family values and appreciate the huge efforts my family have made to bring them up with respect.

[Harry-Flashman]
Most people who bang on about immigration are racist. You never hear them complaining about Australians or White Americans coming here. Add to that the fact that immigration isn't uncontrolled and she makes perfect sense. IE I hate immigrants so I will become an immigrant.

Hitler was a leftie? Flashman, seriously, how old are you? Have we spent the last year dodging the snips and weird retorts of some skool-skiving twelve year old.

That would be the Hitler who was the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, imposer of strict quotas and regulations on industry, one-time ally of Mussolini (of the communist Mussolini’s) and Stalin, the famous communist dictator.

Just for the record Britain has controlled immigration it is just some people are drama queens when it comes to this issue

The Home Secretary vowed to expel the Afghan Hi-Jackers.
They are still here.
If the third most powerful politician in the domestic system cannot prevent undesirables from exploiting the system, we do not have controlled immigration.

The reason uncontrolled immigration keeps coming up is because it is on peoples minds and tops the issues list for the majority.
In which case, it has every right to be raised constantly.

Australia and America are both countries with immigrant populations. An Australian or America could have any racial background, but they do share our political and cultural values and are likely to be well educated. So yes, I would prefer an immigrant from either of these countries, and it has nothing to do with race.
Where is the best place to raise a happy family?
Point proven I think. You have no idea of the economic or employment statistics relating to American or Australian immigrants,
LiberalLeft AndProud,
Just as you have less than no idea about sociological studies or other research relating to the possible correlation between racist views and anti immigration views.
In other words, you were just flapping your gums, and as I have been forced to point out repeatedly, you know nothing.

I assume you have evidence you can show to back this statement up then?
If you take your head out of the sand and stop watching daytime TV and get a job, you'll find that most people sick of immigration are sick of the high taxes and erosion of public services to support them.
You assume its racist because it supports your leftist philosophy - "everyone that doesn't agree with me must be racist"

We don't see hundreds of thousands of Australians or Americans coming into the UK. Why? Cause they have a stable enough economy, they are protected from war, protected from famine, and have a very similar work ethic to our own, they do not need to come to the UK as they have everything they need in the US. Your arguement holds no leverage.

Try looking up some FACTS. For example if you check statistics dot gov dot UK you can find the population of the UK is in fact over 90% White (British)
Let me spell that out for you. Less than 10% of the population in the entire country is non-white (and thus of immigrant origins)
Facts speak for themselves, lots of racists in here.
Lynxo Darfair
There are about 600,000 Polish immigrants and nearly all of them are white. We don't want more immigrants regardless of their colour.

Immigration is a factor, and one which people feel strongly about.

Because this is a HYS on the best places to bring up a family - NOT "The Bash-an-immigrant" thread.

Why should he, its true
A UK poll has found that two Scottish districts - East Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire – are the best places in the UK to bring up a family.
The authors of the Reader's Digest survey said a strong community, safe streets and good schools were important factors. Reading in Berkshire was ranked last, in 408th place.
A survey on Tuesday suggested Danes are the happiest people in Europe, with respondents citing a strong economy and a good work-life balance as reasons for their contentment.
