Have seen his series on telly .. guy is brilliant in his honesty about all that is going wrong in the States. He definately is a hero, Bush is the stupidest president ever (and that says a lot when you think Reagan was there in the 80's )

HMHS .. now I AM cheesed off. As I already said I'm a realist and I see the wrong of both sides. Pity you think of me like this, even after I've tried to explain myself. Guess it all didn't help. You think whatever you want of me mate, respect and listening to other ideas seems to only go one way. Pity you think I'm stupid.

Ofcourse they bring in more work ... some areas of Antwerp have to be re-build now, good for the economy.

Seriously, I wonder why I always have to explain myself ... have I EVER spoken about immigrants in general ? NO, I have spoken about : East European maffia, Russian maffia, drug kartels, your basic outcasts IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. Why can't you see that ? Why am I portrayed like some "immigrant hater" .. ?

Why would I be surprised about that article .. you have plenty of good people coming into Western Europe ... if I look at the Indian community in England I think they do contribute a lot, bring in a lot of work and boost the economy .. Asians dito, no problem with Africans at all, Greeks etc.. etc... ALL GOOD !!

But the real vermin : Moroccons here and in France, Albanians, Rumanians, Russians, Polish all over Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, UK etc.. Sorry mate, only extra work to be found there for us is in the police force (crime and drug departments) and undertakers.

Guess I'm Hitler now probably .. well, think what you want !!
