I heard a woman say the most ignorant thing to me on a train.
She was like . . . 'There are too many of these immigrants in the UK, I hate all of em . . . infact I'm moving to Australia' grin grin

That captures the hypocrisy in one quote.

It's so SAD!!!!
But can you blame them?

I expect Nigerian Government to start regarding Brits/Americans in Nigeria as "Immigrants".
Maybe they will get the message by then. Lets start with the Lars Lagerback. Someone should call him a flaming immigrant. grin cheesy

Over 200,000 British citizens moved out of the UK in one year . . . they are all expatriates grin grin

The racist Brits have always had names for sugar-coating those kinds of things . . .

Robbing and murdering people in Benin City = The Punitive Expedition.
Clearing of Asia and killing people on the way = The Campaign in Asia.
Going to eliminate a whole race of Amerindians = Exploration and discovery of the Americas
grin grin

The names sound so good, you'll think they were there to play cards with them.

I don't see any difference. . . . Maybe you need to look it up.
Who is to say who will return back to their country and who wouldn't?

It's just sheer hypocrisy for the Brits to be termed as expatriates in foreign lands and foreigners are called immigrants here.
U cannot tell me every foreigner in this country ALL have the intention to live on State benefits and not return back to their roots.

That is what i am aiming at.
Expatriates are not necessarily professionals. If a Soho junkie decides to go and stay in Nigeria, he will be described as an expatriate(by the Brits).

Well if they don't return to their countries and seek to be a citizen of their host country then they are immigrants. Happy now?


kadman:

Elo Sela, you didn't vote BNP ? How come ? Big surprise, I thought you were the average s"elf-hating black woman who supported BNP", whom would have promptly kicked you out of the party and out of their country when they won. Guess I was wrong - didn't see that coming.  smiley


Oh so now I am self-hating because I don't like you? Whatever makes you happy.

By the way I voted for the Happening Happy Hippy Party. Was thinking of going for the Rock and Roll looney Party but decided that they were too much like Labour and Britain needs a change so Happening Happy Hippy Party it was. grin grin

You go kill person for here. . . . Abeg, it don do.

There are guidelines in place that allow citizenship to be gained by RIGHTS.
If these expatriates/immigrants come into the UK and they seek to be a citizen after meeting the requirements in the UK guidelines then what is the problem?

The laws are there and already in place.
Whether the immigrants/expatriates have found a loop-hole in those laws to stay permanently is a different issue entirely.
The single most important factor is that there's a deliberate hypocrisy to distinguish what the Brits do from what other foreign nationals do.

@ Sauron
I disagree with your view of expartriates vs immigrants but won't discuss further in this thread.

Tbh, Labour had no chance of winning cuz of  Blair's shenanigans.
IMO Dave ain't just the right man to lead the country. He is nothing but a toff who only cares about the upper Middle class folks.
