I think you have a lot of disrespect for people with different opinions to you. I don't agree with immigrants because this is a white christian country and to me I don't think we should really have any immigrants because we do not need them. I think that immigrants should be staying in their own country to solve problems there.

I know maybe it is hypocritical of me with alot of Irish and British going to the USA and Australia but in a way it is not because we are bringing alot of money to the economy and we integrate to society there.

On the upside, I keep hearing that London is cleaner than New YorK.

But everyone was really QUITE pleasant (and I mean that in the most American sense!).
People who work with tourists a lot tend to be more polite; their living depends on it. It's very different living there day to day.

Just the right amount of chocolate mixed with those wonderful raisins and nuts~YUM! I do try to keep my chocolate consumption down though, so I don't eat it too often.
I know right? Everything else Cadbury's makes is foul, but that bar...mmmmmmmm...total taste party.

Never been to New York, but yes, I hear New York is a dirty city. London is a clean city, especially in the central touristy areas.

I'm not going to devolve any further into that topic beyond my snide and sarcastic remark - as I'm sure the thread will get shut down. But you have been put in your place before regarding immigration, and the things you post are almost always incorrect and have no substance in reality.

That's all I have to say on the matter.

Humour me. What benefits do these EU citizens get? (Hint: Habitual Residence Test)

I've got this suspicion that you are a reincarnation of another racist, xenophobic kid who lives in NI and has not been seen here lately.
