Good you seem to concur that you attribute things to those who haven't said them. Perhaps your generalisations will cease after this moment of epiphany.
As for kids. They'd be African by birth. No doubt their kids would be more African.

When are you moving? Can we crowdfund your move? Please don't have kids. Who knows what those Hrolflets would turn into.

I have kids and I expect that they are already smarter than you.

You neatly avoided my point. What your passport says have very little baring on reality. Do you think White South Africans are really African? If so, why do you think apartheid happened?

It is remarkable how obtuse people can become when trying to avoiding the obvious.

People's official nationality often has little effect on loyalty or cultural,religious and ethnic allegiance. From Brits on the Costas to the Irish in New York. Blood is thicker than passport paper.

Well I have let myself go sartorially after turning 40 so it's not hard.

As for the 2nd paragraph I echo kermits post above.

To be honest I don't give a s*** where anyone is from. A c*** is a c*** whatever their birthplace religious beliefs or whatever. As is a good person. That's all that matters to me. The world is smaller now, it's easy to get from place to place. Families are more disparate.
The contraction of our once expanding empire is bound to bring people to our shores. The fact people want to come here is testament to how lucky we are by accident of birth to live in such a great country.

Whilst I do not deny that an expanding population is not without its problems, I feel that the reason the country is in the s*** it is in is down to other factors including austerity (look at the state of our services at the moment - it's down to cutting budgets way too much which means services can't barely be delivered)

That's where we differ. I think the main reason for the state of the country is s***e government and lack of investment. You think it's because of the muzzahs (apologies for the usage) and poles.

Wrong thread. You want the Post Office strike one

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

You are sort of making a valid point there nick,but then in the next paragraph you swerve away.
You say we have got problems with a very rapid population, then it's more down to austerity.....erm maybe we had to make some cuts because of the vast amount of people now using the services.
I'm sure you can see what I am saying,The dipstick Gordon Brown bought in tax credits,I happen to think that was a great idea....but then his government opens the door to mass immigration and hey presto they are receiving tax credits so the bill went through the roof,I have seen what the bill was when he started it to what it is now,but honestly can't remember I will try and find it...but as a teacher do the maths.

always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.
