Thing is, even though I knew it would have been warm I still had it down as a winter scene in the francophone Alps. Now you're flip-flopping around a
meadowland "Sound of Music" style I feel much better.

I'd say 95% of brit's or English as that's who it mainly effects have no problem at all with controlled immigration on skills based, what everyone
has the problem with is illegal immigration of mainly lowlife scum swarming over and claiming money, something they can't do in France.

I was the first person in my family to go to Germany in peacetime though admittedly I was in the army at the time. And that is exactly what I thought, how
alike we are. Dififcult to get across to a family where I was bollocked rigid for buying a fashionable black shirt once ....
Feral youth depends on where you went. If it's disaffected little bleeders you want they can be found in the east where they tend to join neo nazi gangs. |

my old man is a military buff and in between boring the pants off me with military history he'll tell you that Germany were once and are our natural
allies. Its the French who've always been natural enemies....but then we all know that.
Would leave to go to Switzerland at a drop of a hat. Came across groups/gangs of kids over there and the intimidation just wasnt there like it can be here & no I'm not dumb enough to think Switzerland has no crime....but sure do have more respectful kids. |

In Switzerland most of the youth crime is fashion-related. Acid wash denim, clunky trainers, distressed faux-leather bomber jackets… that kind of thing.
The Swiss are a bunch of fucking weirdos, now I think about it. "Oooh we're not serving lunch anymore, it's 14.03…" |

Robbo, in answer to your question, yes it is, I'm a professional who is adding to the quality of the locals' lives here where locals make up just 20% ,
Yes - 20% of the population. I pay my taxes, contribute to the profitability of local service providers where locals pay nothing, and also visit govt offices
on regular opccasions to get visas/licenses etc manned by locals, all adding to their viability to be employed.
Issue with the UK, is its the precise opposite, illegals take jobs they shouldn't, legal immigrants milk the social system for what they can get, and the hard working brits get the fall out. More people unemployed, more parents letting their kids roam the streets and cause trouble, no police around to stick them in the bin. Out here if you thief, grave consequences await, in the UK it doesn't even get to court. Its the whole social thing in the UK, people are demoralised because of the shit going on around them, there's not enough officialdom in the right places, too much beaurocracy, and too many EU wankers telling us what we can and can't do with our own country. Thta's the reason I couldn't wait to piss of out of it. Joey - you're spot on too. |

The Skerrit wrote:Bold is spot on. The trouble is people who have no stake in this country. The white underclass (who feel like second class citizens behind immigrants, usually unfairly), and transient populations (students, immigrants who plan on going home - as opposed to immigrants who want to make the UK their home who do care). You have to address poverty to give people a stake, and you have to engage in training and education to minimize the ridiculous situation whereby you have huge numbers of immigrants doing shit jobs, while lazy english scumbags smoke fags and booze all day on benefits. You need swathes of social workers to deal with the families where the kids do not give a shit and the parents care even less. But also you need an open and honest debate about who we want in this country and why and how many - the BNP benefit from the main parties refusing to discuss the issues. And you need to address the concerns of white english people in places like Barking who cannot just be completely ignored if you want a civilised country where people don't vote BNP. Immigration is not new, mass immigration isn't new, but I fail to believe that there are many periods of history where areas have changed so rapidly (language, shops, attitudes of populations). I genuinely believe that racial tolerance and multi-culturalism are two of the most 'english' things about this country. Two of the best things, and things that we should be most proud of. But that does not mean to say I'd be happy sending my kids to a school like where my fiance teaches in stratford. In her class a handful of kids have english as a first language, most do not speak english at home, few have two parents (those who do mainly being asian families with whole religious / cultural shit going on that makes being brought up by a single drug addict mother look like a walk in the park), and believe it or not the only child who can be described as 'white english' lives on a traveller site. Literally there is not a single white english child who lives in a flat or house in the entiure class. There is a tipping point where immigrants cannot integrate because they have no fucking brits to integrate with! This is not good! Perhaps most importantly we need a constitution that spells out rights and responsibilities, whereby tolerance, freedom of speech, social democracy, justice etc etc are enshrined into every aspect of this society to ensure that we can tell people to get lost if they do not fight for what our grandfathers fought for. It is a wonder this country isn't 75% nazi given the people who delight in using our rights to tell us how wrong we are. |

You're right there BH. I was in Zurich a while ago and had booked a shuttle to the airport. They left every 15 minutes. I got to the lobby and the woman on
reception looked well worried, and was very nervous as she told me my bus was going to be late. As I always make sure I am very early to get to airports I told
her not to worry, there was another in 15 minutes.
To which she replied that the firm had already arranged a manager to pick me up as realised they would be 3 minutes late! So I ended up travelling in a Merc limo. In London the shuttle would probably come hourly and nobody would think to apologise. Great place but a surprisingly large hard drug culture in the cities. And almost every male has a rifle in his wardrobe (it's part of national service) but not much gun crime (apart from the recent shooting in a town hall.) |

It is certainly true that every restaurant will close at 2.03 - I thoroughly approve - it is that same attitude that means there is no litter and the trains run on time. Couldn't live there though, they don't have Indian restaurants - and I'm guessing no amount of currywurst would make up for that... |

I remember driving a bus through Leipzig pissed, the Starsi were alerted by me reversing into a wall at the beginning of the journey, it was a great relief when some of the enormous skinheads that we were (complete with Shetland pony sized Rottweiler) with told me not to worry, we´ll beat them up, we´re always beating them up...

Saying that Hackster I caught four Japanese people taking pictures of themselves pretending to piss on British war graves in Thailand (using the old hose
trick) I dont often lose it but when I do its not pretty and I chased the little bastards for about half a mile, they can run though I will give them that

From my own personal perspective, the violent nature amongst the youth population has been around for years. I was unfortunate enough to be in the Burford Arms
in Stratford one Friday night when it kicked off outside with some kids who were refused a drink. They decided to put a window through and I decided I'd
move my car. Bad move on both parts. I came round with a bunch of twats still kicking shit out of me. They all fucked off when a car pulled up to help. The
stab wound in my back took 56 stitches and its only 5 inches long. And that was just my back. That was 33 years ago. I was very lucky. Maybe more so; today
they'd probably have used a gun and had a (white) foreign language.

Anyway, to lighten things up a little (apologies if you've heard it),
The BNP has announced plans to take over call centres in the UK. The phone will be answered with, "Good Morning you're through to the United Kingdom. Press 1 if you speak English, or Press 2 to be disconnected until you fucking well can!" |

First the Germans, then the fucking Japs seem to be "decent people" and "similar culturally to Brits"?
Fuck me. The things you learn on here. The only thing the Germans should be admired for are their cars. Fucking superb. The only thing the Nips should be admired for is their grasp of electrical technology. They've both recently demonstrated an inbuilt culture of cuntishness, violence and cruelty when under pressure and should never, ever be trusted with a fit for purpose military....ever.....for fucking sure. As for for the Swiss....well, I have, and continue to spend, batches of time in a place called Zug near Zurich. Fuck me, those cunts are odd two-faced fuckers never to be totally trusted. Breath-taking scenery though, for sure. |
