Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The same was said of the Irish, Jews, Poles, Italians, West Indians, Indians and Pakistanis, Ugandans in different periods.

They were assimilated without too much trouble.

If Cameron had been planning for problems which many foresaw, then the problem would have been dealt without the scaremongering and finger pointing which is happening.

He is whining blaming everybody else once again after 5.5 years of his own failings.

a bit of a bold and brave statement fred
it certainly took a good number of years for the west indians to be accepted, and there remains a good deal of animosity against a considerable proportion of indians and pakistanis, and of course the jews still come in for a fair amount of stick, the amount of same rising and falling

Not forgetting the Notting Hill race riots in the 1950's , ex pupils from my old school were at the head of the riot jailed for 4 years

An interesting development and not what Corbyn was hoping for.

Greek conservative leader could be surprise election winner as polls point to knife-edge vote

Vangelis Meimarakis, leader of pro-European New Democracy, poses a real threat to Syriza’s Alexis Tsipras as popularity soars

Well there you go Fred wants to let them all in.....you nutter Fred...you'll turn this proud country into a third world asylum all on benefits....typical loony left....anyway..thank god the tories are in power (there not perfect far from it) but look at the alternatives.....heavens forbid...

Germany has introduced border checks and suspended the Schengen Agreement for the first time since 1995.

I would think it depends on what you wish to be known as proud of.

When I lived in Cardiff I had a bloody English family move in next to me.

Bloody hoards of them.

Not safe to go out in the night.

i am a great advocate of multi-culturism
however, if you do not maintain sensible controls over who or who does not come into the country, then you will be raising a significant risk of all sorts of problems in the years ahead

if germany has indeed now imposed border controls and suspended the (damn-fool) schengen agreement, then they have belatedly woken up to the problem that they have created for themselves over recent weeks

that the schengen agreement is "dangerous" is now highlighted by the free passage allowed to any potential or actual terrorist once they have got themselves embedded into the system
i accept that this sort of problem may not have been foreseeable at inception, but thank goodness uk refused to subscribe to it

Good comeback for Leicester.

Picket not racing again is he ?

So, the fatherland can suspend Schengen without any agreement from the €uropean partners.


Cause the problem, then walk away leaving everybody in the shit.

There are clauses in the Schengen that allow its suspension in cases of force majeure or its German equivalent.

Fred will not tell you that his sick cartoon of the dead boy on the beach was the child of a man who was an economic migrant ,he had left Syria and was working in Turkey he chose to head for Europe ,he survived and his children died .

It makes no odd's Haystack, the immigration genie is out of the bottle.

The germans trying to lay off the problem through Brussels quota's etc, is a joke.

They started it, let them sort it out.

The German deputy chancellor said today that they could not cope with the numbers of immigrants arriving. Serves them right about being so bullish about how many they wanted.

Does that make it any better, or does it just justify the position you take, or advocate?

What position do i take or advocate Fred ?

fred is right insofar as that pic focussed attention, and clearly most effectively

What are you on about cynic ? your post has nothing to do with what we were talking about .
