It won’t change much for people already here.

Correct,19.2% of children in UK secondary schools,23.4% in uk primary schools and 30.2% of kids in UK nursery's do not speak English as their first language,that's 2025 statistics,the problem is growing.

Does anyone, when they hear or read of these “headline grabbers”, still seriously believe it’s will apply to anyone in enough numbers to ACTUALLY do something about whatever subject said headline is pertinent too ? 
As every shred of evidence proves, the only people all these bits of legislation effect is British people !……nobody else gives a flying f**k because they know the government don’t mean them !

I had relatives go to Australia on £10 pass years ago only skilled trades or something worth while once there you had to have a job to to and a place to live money also no support at all once you were there it was your duty to help and support yourself and thats the problem here it's a land of milk and honey to all of them that come across the people here are getting fed up and feeling cramped i myself didn't have any a levels went to school and sixth form and got what i was graded and that was that take it or leave it and that was the same for our youngest as my late mother used to say at least you done better then some and at least you have tried

That's really surprised me AW. I thought Australia were doing a decent job of keeping them out ?.

I have a mate that's moved to Oz.  I said , I'd heard that Australia was really racist , especially against us English.  He said , aussies are f***ing great , and they welcome you with open arms , just as long as you become Australian , and fit in .  When Australia and England are playing cricket , you better be cheering for the f***ing aussies.  

It's pretty multicultural now but we are getting flooded with mostly Indians at nearly half a million a year making it unbalanced. I have a feeling they are bringing them in for the workforce, as they do all the shit jobs quite happily. I don't  remember us being racist against people from the UK but maybe they were in the early days.

I just remembered a conversation I had years ago . The guys said that aussies were pretty racist , and that nobody would give him a job.

Mind you , he was a bit of a twat , so that might have been the issue.

My wife's family were classed as that. From Birmingham they are among the nicest people I've met. Tough, staunch people but very family orientated with hearts of gold. I feel closer to them than my blood family.

I think of the ten pound poms who went to Australia 25% returned to the UK,new Zealand did a similar sort of scheme.

There is nothing as citizens we can do about it so I have stopped whining but when they are forever doing u turns in front of you on 4 lane highways they are hard to ignore. What topped it off the other day was them dumping used equipment, floats after a festival straight into a river here, such is their respect for their host country.

If every single country on the face of the earth took in two million indians there would still be a billion left in their homeland,they are a plague like locusts.

Or rats, any human who could survive swimming in the Gangi isn't human. I really am horrified after recently moving back close to Sydney from 30 years in the bush. Like a nightmare.

Funnily enough , my mate met a Polish girl in new Zealand,  while they were both travelling around the world.  They've moved to australia , got married,  had a daughter,  and set up a business . They're loving life out there.

He's done pretty well for himself for a binman.
