Immigration

[Desert Region]

must rush now, i'm off for a trek through the jungle.

[seivad]

Here's an old shot of us. We do like to dress for the occasion.

That must have been from the 70's, Formby Beach.

Must admit my perm was a bit much.

Spot on. As for your perm, nonsense. You were always our favourite retainer. A faithful Fuzzy Wuzzy, on whom we could always depend. On this pic you're hiding your trusty spear. As I recall, it was quite an impressive sight when you exposed it. The first time I saw it I had to summon my ayah to fetch the smelling salts.

Not only that, but his belief that, were it not for colonialism, natives would still be living their traditional hunter gatherer lifestyle, or as he puts it, an eco-friendly 'jungle' lifestyle (I wonder what they used for fuel?) It's patently ridiculous. The world has become a small place. Western influence would have infiltrated their societies a long time ago.

Nah, I said if they'd never seen a whiteman and had no knowledge of Europe, they would never have come up with the idea to head for here.

Let's face it, at 1,200 a day (as per Fridays arrivals), that's going to equal around 30,000,000 over the next hundred years. There clearly isn't room for them here in the long run. Imo, bigger EU States that have more room, would be a better place for foreign migrants to settle.

Oh don't be so negative that's 30,000,000 uneducated potential punters for you and your offspring*

You could sell them one of your clean stoves to heat their cannibal pots on.

I was wondering how they arrived "here" without seeing a white face on the way, but decided that's a bit deep.

Are you still in the EU in your head, they are busily pushing the migrants to us.




*Gulp.

Don't be ridiculous. And stop referring to us as 'white people'. Your real beliefs are all too clear when you post this offensive crap. And check the stats on the countries who accept the majority of asylum seekers. It sure as hell isn't the UK.

Ok we're 'pinkskins' or whatever, it's all fine by me. The fact is, these migrants once across the Med, always seem to head North - and countries like the UK, being at the end of the line, are where they ultimately 'wash up'. Ours, as you know, is a relatively small island compared to a big one like Australia - and we're seriously short on space.

I believe the asylum system requires overhauling big-time....Firstly I'd have no sysmpathy for migrants who lie about their circumstances and/or origin. Also no sympathy for economic migrants - both these groups should be sent packing forthwith!

As for genuine hard-luck cases, e.g. those fleeing wars, etc. I'd let them in and provide accommodation, food, healthcare, education etc, 'on the house', until it's time to go home. I.e., when their homeland becomes safe enough for them to be returned. To me, that's being more than kind, and is the only decent thing to do. Whereupon, new waves of refugees can in turn be taken in, on the same 'stay and return when it's safe' basis.

The problem for me is you sing and sung the praises of the EU and free movement which brought about millions of people coming into our "relatively small island" with no space.

Yet when migrants come from beyond an arbitary line on a map you suddenly become anti-migrant whats changed are they not white enough?

You would fit in well with Brussels there aren't too many non whites there either.

When you lived in the Netherlands I presume you worked while you were there, depriving a Dutch citizen of a job.

EU is quite a different matter....within the EU, unemployed people can move freely to wherever there are staff shortages. Just as the case within the USA, just as in China. It's a system that makes perfect sense. It also allows retiring EU'ers, to sell up and relocate to sunnier EU climes.

I excercised my right as an EU'er, to live and work where I chose. Same as anyone from NL had the right to live and work here....Fair dinkum, imo!

So how come the country was big enough for millions to come whilst in the EU.

You can still retire to anywhere you like presuming you have no skeletons.

More than a million ex-pats left at the same time, freeing up many properties. That's not the case with bringing in up to 30,000,000 outsiders over the next century - we'll have to cover our green and pleasant countryside with mass housing estates - duh!

B) Not so....Only way I can retire to France now, would be by falsifying my accounts to make it appear I have an income way bigger than it actually is.
