[QUOTE=Vasili;21885448]I seriously doubt you've even bothered to look.
In Czech Republic its the Italians.
In Spain its the Romians.
In Germany its the Turks.
Ironically there is actually an artical about the British people being very polite as tourists in other countries, its all about who can scream louder in the media.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't detract from the fact that British people still do it, saying other nationalities do it is not a justification.
They are all idiots.
I'm just glad it's not Gordon Brown.
"David Cameron is the new PM "
my condolences dear brits

You fail to grasp the point.
All countries do it, British people doing what other countries do fails to be anything unusual. Thus is not really not an argument for anything other than picking on nationalities.
Was just watching the Cameron thing on BBC News, still amazes me how well Cameron coped with the loss of his child a little over a year ago. He really is very devoted to the country.

You're talking about a politician, be a little more cynical
A guy going for the biggest seat of power in the country does not mean devotion to the country.

Hey you got some brown on your nose there.
It's not like Gordon brown didn't lose a child either...

He's a politician, politician's smile. He's devoted to being the PM, which he got.
[QUOTE=Jallen;21884275]First off, I'm all for retaining british culture, and I'm therefore all for capping immigration.
Secondly, I'm not racist, you slander ridden shit. I do not like living with them because they constantly speak in chinese in front of me(which is very rude in my opinion), they group with other chinese people. It's like they aren't even there... but the mess they leave in the kitchen is.
There is no communication with them, it's counter productive and not fun.
I'd much rather some english people lived in those rooms, then I'd actually have a chance of making friends with them.[/QUOTE]
Man fuck people like you. Why should I give two shits about speaking another language in front of you?
Wait did the queen die or something?

But Brown had a good 5 years or so between that and becoming PM, Cameron managed to keep his composure and the blitzkrieg of the political world rolling through the UK.

Erm, what?
[QUOTE=Ninja_Duck;21885963]Wait did the queen die or something?[/QUOTE]
I dont think you get how it works
Edit:
The queen doesn't rule, the prime minister does along with a parliament. (don’t ask me to get technical because I can't)

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're getting at. All i'm saying is that Brits have too high expectations of immigrants, they expect them to fit in from day 1 which won't happen. It all happens over time.

I half agree with you, I find a lot of immigrants don't want to fit in which I disagree with. If you live in a country you should make an effort to learn the language and culture. Like in Wolverhampton City Centre one year they had to take down a sign saying Happy Christmas and replace it with Seasons Greetings as people complained that Christmas offended them.

It's rude. It not only conceals their conversation from me, it also completely prevents me from even interacting with them.

Since when do people like me expect you to automatically fit in on day one. The majority only want foreigners just to respect our culture and customs and attempting to fit in British life, not isolate themselves with their own people - that is rude and disrespectful to the country that is supporting you.
What you seem to complain about will happen [B]everywhere[/B].
Oh dear, just got a phone call from my sister asking me if I heard there was an election a few days ago... I hope I am adopted (is the same sister that once asked me who won WW2)...
Wow 2000 posts, last 400 have been in the last week discussing the election....
Well, ought to join in!
OH FUCK WE'RE SO SCREWED THE WORLD IS LITERALLY GOING TO END

Taken 4 years to get 2000 posts, average of 500 posts a year, that is frightening.
Big day, Cameron becomes PM, I get gold...

Then interact yourself, surely they can speak english. I've had conversations with echange students who didn't really talk to anyone and they turned out to be nice people. You can't just expect people to talk to you.
[QUOTE=theenemy;21885238]People who have 8ish children, fair enough but they are such a small minority no single governemnt policy could root them out without negativly effecting people who seriously can't find a job, who number in the tens of thousands.
If you live on benefits you can be bothered to get a job. they really are the minimum you can survive off. if someone really doesn't have a job because they 'can't be arsed' they have no concept of entertainment or pleasure.
No one has more availability to uni than anyone. the scope of uni requirements and prices is wide enough to accommodate everyone. In fact the scope means that the best uni's are unavailable to people from poorer backgrounds so the current systems are unfair anyway.
You also seem to be saying that people born into richer families automatically are better educated and have more natural talent than others. wealth isn't tied to your genes it's completely random. Anyone could have the most talent in any one subject regardless of social class.
people from council estates don't deserve education? they're more deserving than anyone. they need this education to pull themselves out of the situation they're in now. to live a better life and join people living and working at a decent quality of life.[/QUOTE]
A lot of things you claim in that aren't based on fact.
While it is true that some benefits are very minimum, there are cases where disability benefit is being used for people who are obese.
You also claim that everyone is deserving of an education. While this is true, you seem to believe that the only way forward is via uni. I am one of those who did not go to uni and got practical qualifications instead. AVC's, GNVQ's and apprenticeships are all avalaible for those who do not want or can't go to uni. Alternatively, becoming a bus or tube driver is one of the more highly paid jobs in London.
I do blame the government for this encouragement that everyone go to uni. It just causes a lack of skilled workers, and a saturation of bankers.

Went to the forum and it was scary so I came back to the world of political 'debate' :)

Don't you think the universities should do more to get them to mix? It always annoys me how in mine there is an Asian Soc, African Soc etc. Bet if I tried starting an English Soc they would have a problem with it...

Although those societies aren't limited to just people from those countries. At my old uni I got invited to join the Punjabi society and the Chinese society, among others. They wanted people who were interested in the culture to join as well.
To be honest, I'm all for legal immigration, along with asylum seekers and refugees. An alloy is always stronger.

Weird, never thought about joining them. Still want to set up a British Soc, we can get together, drink whiskey, eat roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Would be fantastic!
I love how unrepresentative this thread is.
The Tories got my vote, and I know they'll do well as long as the Lib Dems don't become too egotistical. They do only have 50 odd seats after all.
Here's hoping for a successful assassination attempt
[QUOTE=James*;21889830]Here's hoping for a successful assassination attempt[/QUOTE]
No PM has been assassinated in nearly 200 years. Anyway no one would have a reason to assassinate Cameron.
What's with this "culture" shit. Even the rednecks I live with are tolerant of immigrant cultures. Hell, when someone comes from a foreign country, we literally [i]beg them[/i] to act like they do in their home nation.
