Hi shipmates Hi Captain Kong, I am not to blame for the flood of so called refugees going to the easy touch western world, but did you know the highest benifits are payed to arabs in they own country, Kuwait but not a penny is paid to outsiders All Workers from abroad must work or leave the country. Why dont we follow our friends in Kuwait and do the same to all ****** or non ******, workers Would the E.U. stop dumping eastern europeans on us then? and low payed workers would not have any benifits after working for a year or two but have to go home, The truth is we need all the cheap non union min wage or below unskilled labour to keep profits high for many tax dodgeing U.K. companys , We need to update our laws and stop the rot before civil unrest becomes common and no one is safe.

I have a mate who works in the immigration department at Melbourne airport. Every day about 100 arrive ttrying to claim asylum as refugees. About half are sent back the next day not being genuine. They all have passports and some papers, the ones who come by boat have none. They are advised by the people smugglers to dump all their paperwork before getting on the boat. this of course amkes it very hard to determin where they are from. But you are not alone in UK in the development of ghettos, it is begining to occur here in Oz. Footscray a suberb in the West of Melbourne has been taken over by Vietnamese and Somalians. You can play spot the white man there and finding a shop where the signage or spoken language is English is almost impossible.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Hi John, That is your future, it has to be stopped.
I used to go out with a girl in Footscray in the 50s it was a nice place then, it just shows how these animals will drag you down into their cesspit.
Cheers
Brian.
