Most migrants like me came to Australia with nothing more than a couple of suitcases and a few hundred pounds, we worked 3 jobs between us, we also had two teenagers, we lived without the luxuries of new clothes etc. for 3 years to save for a home. The same for the people arriving in the UK they just want a job and a better life, yes you are entitled to your views but i do hope you change your mind, as you get older. I hope you will be able to rise above all this discrimination.
Mac15 has not made a single economic point to justify his/her anti immigration rhetoric. It's racist, simple as that. If you're not "like me" you don't belong here.
Next time come up to Glasgow Kathryn.... would love to meet you... maybe one day.....we were stopped in town by an American couple looking for the road to Glasgow Airport, not only did my hubby direct them but drove in front of the couple all the way to show them exactly where the cut off was for the airport. you cant ask for more than that for being friendly...
Now THAT'S friendly - and yes, if I ever come your way, you can bet I'll be giving you plenty of warning in advance and showing up looking for a cuppa tea!

You maybe correct in your assumptions, i would like to give him/her the benefit of the doubt and call it fear and ignorance.

That is typical of a Scot. I find them so helpful and willing to go out of their way. That's one reason I love it here!
One thing I dont like is our midgies.. now I dont know if they have them elsewhere apart from Scotland but what wee pests these things are.... watch out or they ll bit yer bum if you come to visit... The Midgieman, source of all knowledge and breeder of midges.
Hate those evil highland midgies. Milions of them where we live (west of Glasgow).
I've encountered midgies in the US but they are called, unofficially, no-see-ums. They don't swarm or bite as much and when they do they aren't as itchy.
No see ums... I love it..wondered if anyone else had the wee nuisances.
Nothing compared to here though!
A couple of weeks ago we did a boat trip to Staffa but it was covered in fog (which we expected to lift before we got there). I climbed to the top and was swarmed and attacked by the midgies, something the guide and boat pilot had never heard of before on Staffa.

I came to your neck of the woods last May, we were expecting the weather to be possibly a little grey and perhaps a little chilly and what we got was around 28 degrees centigrade, we stayed at a place called Wemyss Bay and on one of the days we visited the gardens of a curiously painted castle with a stream running through a ravine - the one thing I remember when climbing down to the cool depths to stand next to the stream is the cloud of midges there to greet me! :-)
