What does bother me is the hoards of folk that have landed here from European countries (don't worry, I'd say the same thing about our coloured cousins), they claim our benefits, take our jobs, take our social housing, commit just about every crime in the book and get treated "nicely" and still don't have the common courtesy to learn our sodding language.
Now that IS taking the p**s.
Don't forget, I'm not racist, just patriotic.
I am old enough to remember a big chunk of our building trade was working in Germany and Holland in the 70s (made a few bob at it myself). I know "ein beir bitte and ich lieben du" were we any different?
I was working in an old womans house the other day who was complaining about "the bloody Pole next door who is doing 2 jobs" The bloody Pole was saving to buy a house for his family in Poland, is he doing any wrong?
My workmate is 2nd generation Indian, his Dad was chased out of Uganda by Id Amin, both of them work like (oops cant say that) to the best of my knowledge neither of them have ever claimed any benefit and I would be very surprised if either of them has committed a criminal offence.
Should the truth be told all 3 of them probably speak better English than what I does, and I think Dillon (his real name is Dharindra) would kick your arse for the coloured cousin bit.
