Refugee week (20-26 June 2011)


Recommended Posts

Yesterday it said in the Sun that 33% of rapists and killers are foreign,we can understand why these people arn't welcome,on the other hand it beats me why the Labour gov couldn't see this coming when they opened our arms to all and sundry.

Its hard enough trying to keep our 66% under control without inviting more.

 

Wheres the other 1%?

I see from your location that as soon as you got a bit of cash together you moved away to a quiet town in a nice area with hardly any immigrants. So you want us to have to live amongst them but you're not so keen yourself? Hypocrite.

Do you know something about my history that I don't know? :rolleyes:

Nearly every family in the UK is descended from migrants

The history of migration to and from the UK is as old as British history. As Barbara Roche, former Labour immigration minister and leader of the Migration Museum Project, puts it, "We are all migrants. If you want to celebrate Britain you have to celebrate migration."

 

Even children who see themselves as 100% English, Welsh, Scottish or British are likely to have ancestors who were Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes, Flemish, Plantagenets from Anjou, or from Germany in the 17th century or Italians, Armenians and Black Africans in the 19th century. Today around 11.5% of the UK population was born overseas

Mel moved there for family reasons not so he could get away from refugees and he's got more integrity than anyone else I've ever met.

Go back a little further and it’s very likely that all humans are the descendants of black Africans. :)
