Default Britain no more.......

It has finally happened..........

British people are now firmly in the minority in britain, two english women were turned away and had their 2 small children refused admission to a play-group in st neots, cambridgeshire for being.....british!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The group is run and funded by us bloody british people who actually go out and work...for what!!!!!?
Like some-one else said and i quote...
'lets play role-reversal' and see how long it takes to have the play-group shut down and funding stopped immediately if the women were immigrants/foreign!!!!!
Sorry, but this is just a p-take and, i only wish i was 10 - 20 yrs younger cos i'd say stuff it and emigrate.
Sorry for the rant, but enough is enough.

This is why I left England four years ago Crinks, in two generations the Asians will outnumber us. They won't move to Ireland cause it's sinking I reckon, you just can't win.

I wanted to emigrate years ago and I so wish I had now, am worried for our children and grandchildren and their futures in this country.

That sucks bigtime and sadly it's not an isolated case. It's only going to get worse. I miss things about the UK and family and mates, but overall I reckon I definitely made the right call to emigrate years ago. My kids have grown up here and I'm glad they did. Guess what, a murder still makes the front page here!

Don't get me wrong, I'm really really glad I grew up in England and started my family there. But deciding to come here when my kids were still really young was the right call, for all of us.

I guess I was lucky, born late 50's, kid in the 60's, teen in the 70's, started a family in the 80's then bailed out early 90's.................just when things there started to go to pot!!!!!

Probably not the sort of reply you wanted crinks, sorry, just my own take on it. Selfish??? Probably!

Its happening everywhere they come live in our countries yet protest how much they hate us and our beliefs. I say send them all back where they come from. they break our laws and we pay for them to be kept in our jails.send them bloody home. theyd be executed in there own coutries. There given so much housing health care u name it they get it. We have to pay taxes to keep them. Its a joke.

'Eggs in baskets' always springs to mind in situations such as this,intergration is a key factor.Whilst Government bodies want this, the people do not.The ghetto threat is very real and will only cause argument on both sides.So speaking as an individual who truly believes about a good life for all,its your council that needs your opinions,not a poker site.Sadly I have total respect for the issues that are raised,hence my reply.However,these people are required in a country that seems to promote a welfare state...who were you served by today ?.who cleaned the hospital ward ? who was the bus driver ? the toilet cleaner...ask yourself.

i was served by a polite English girl when doing my shopping, i dont use public transport much but when i do 99% drivers are English, cleaners at my place of work are English and all had smiles and good manners....not like some who grunt and just take your money and i can never understand a word they say!

ooooops, sorry, before i offend someone...i mean 'British' i suppose !!

I'm not going to give an opinion on some of the posts in this thread.Here are the facts.....

According to the 2001 Census, the ethnic composition of the United Kingdom was:
Ethnic group↓ Proportion of total UK population↓
White 92.1%
Mixed race 1.2%
Indian 1.8%
Pakistani 1.3%
Bangladeshi 0.5%
Other Asian (non-Chinese) 0.4%
Black Caribbean 1.0%
Black African 0.8%
Black (others) 0.2%
Chinese 0.4%
Other 0.4%

There is a census due in 2011.The general outlook is that these figures have not changed much in ten years.The biggest change is likely to be an increase in white immigrants from eastern Europe.

Fred, you obviously haven't been to Dublin recently. Many, many Asians have worked and lived in the Capital for the last 10 or so years. I've no problem with them whatsover and am certainly not xenophobic. Incidently, both my brother and brother in law both live very prosperous lives in Dubai and Hong Kong. As phatt observed in his last post, they too are immigrants.
