Indeed. I'm out.

Well, sorry, I'm like that.. being 'a shade pompous' and all. I'm sure you'll get over it.

There are none more condescending than those who, by an accident of birth and the sheer luck of being born in a rich country, feel they are superior to others. I'm not duped, no. Because the facts do not support the idea that immigration is the root of all Britain's problems. A contributing...

Hove is my home town. I still like it.

Where are most of our doctors and nurses, for instance, going to send their kids to school then? You can't just make the blanket assumption that all of these people are a drain on our society, in the same way that I can't claim all of them are contributing. The truth as usual lies somewhere in...

It's a fair point. But does it not occur to you that if we funded our schools properly, we should be able to cope with that situation?

You're missing the point. What's the problem with that? They're learning English so that's good. And if their parents are working and paying tax, they're contributing to our society. Hove doesn't seem to be a teeming hotbed of racial hatred. So you just don't like them because they're different...

Exactly.

Not aggressive. Just sick of racists.

Don't know whether it's typical or not. It's certainly typical in the area I live in and in all the areas my friends live in. I didn't have a problem with it either when I lived in Birmingham, or Plymouth, or Southampton. And as we now apparently all care only about ourselves in this country...

Absolutely. I have it from the highest authority (my wife!) who works there, that the hospital would fall apart completely without the immigrants. And these aren't people under-cutting our own workers and doing people out of jobs. The RSCH is in a shit state... absolutely on and beyond the...

Maybe you should read a bit more then, and from a wide range of sources. You're criticising me for having a deluded view with no personal experience, yet basing your entire argument on what affects you and you alone so I'll do the same. My personal experience is that all the foreigners I work...

Fair enough. Is that a problem? I'd love to have kids who can speak Spanish, improve their job prospects and open up opportunities for work all over the world.

And I'll continue to view you as someone who believes any old tripe they read in some of the press. If you think the strain on our social services is solely, or even largely, down to immigration and not through under-funding by our own Government then you've fallen for their guff. The vast...

What school is this? Sounds like a load of b***shit frankly. English as a second language.. yeh, right.

I love it. Pull up the drawbridge. What a great attitude.
