LOL at Edgware Road being held up as an example of fermenting immigrant hatred - they're all the moneyed-up Arabs.
It's in poor areas where all the tension is. Where people feel abandoned by those in power. When they hear any hint of an outsider getting preferential treatment, it hits a nerve.

Very interesting and emotive thread this one.
I have no problem with people coming to this country legally to work, make a better life for themselves and their families, and contribute to the economy of this country. This is the majority although, as other posters have stated, there are dangerous and sensationalist elements in the media who would have you believe otherwise.
Do some people get into the country legally or illegally who shouldn't, of course they do, but thankfully they are a minority despite what you may be lead to believe by some sections of the media.
How good a news story are the hard working young polish couple coming to the UK to work and try to provide a better standard of living for their children? I use this type of immigrant as an example as they are most representative of the migrant workers in the area I originate from which does have a large population of migrant workers.

Top Post, with balance, & plain old common-sense.
I dare not comment further on this Thread, some of the Posts are positively obscene. But it's impossible to reason with those who don't want to see or hear the truth.
Whatever happened to tolerance, & understanding? God never created international boundaries, we did. We are all the same, but it behoves those of us more fortunate by accident of birth to remember the less fortunate.

Don't tempt me Claire, I'm doing my best not to get involved.
Best of blonde? I think not. More of a WOB than a BOB.

Thank you, but it's best if I say nothing. When I go off on one, & get het up, I get Premiership het. And intolerance to those less fortunate is near the top of my het list.

I have views a little different to vinne but then again I dont live in an area where he does, an area where he feels its has genuine problems. It must be shit if the police just let it slide.
But Vinni makes the mistake of generalising because of bad experiences he's had.
Just because my next door neighbour can sometimes be heard shouting at his wife it doesn't mean I should accuse all English men of being wifebeaters. Same sort of principal.
