The problem with being too wary is just the problem you are talking about with relgious war, then it's oh we don't want you. This then leads to resentment. Just because I was born here, who says it's my right to not let people who need help come here. I can't stand all this immagration stuff and the ridiculasness of the Daily Mail-esque, They're stealing out jobs...kick them all out..England for us...blah blah blah. Because as a matter of fact, we benifit from having immagrents, 40% of NHS workers are immagrents (call me on that one, I'm not sure how up to date that is) so effectivley, our health service wouldn't be able to run without them, who would do all the jobs we don't want? It's about respect and helping other people, there are some people who come over here because the desperatly need a safe place to live and if they are allowed in then they get welcomed with all sorts of shit from the British public, I find it really embarressing.
And also, British security, like, the safety of the public and the country I think has less to do with immegrants that we think. I mean, July bombings, our major terrorist attack since the IRA, was done (so we're lead to beleive) by British people. It's not about where people come from it's about treating people with some respect, both ways. Why can't we as a nation seem to respect the people who are coming to live here, respect their traditions and religions, we're so closed minded that we think our way is the only way.

And being non white makes you not British? We've had black people living here for centuaries, is this not their home too? they're paying taxes, for prisons, so if it comes their time for use one, well, they payed for it, so why should priority go to white British?


I'm not saying immagrents don't have to attempt to learn about British ways and speak English, but I'm also saying that perhaps we can learn a thing or two from their ways also? You think nothing is wrong with the system we have now? Now, we both know no one is talking about drastic changes like decapitiation, but this is about respect for customs and discussing wether we can improve our attitudes towards immegrants, and perhaps is we can learn a thing or two from them.
We do not have peace in England, I mean, Islam means peace, perhaps we can leanr something from that?
And you're right on one thing, I cannot speak for the tax payer, because I don't pay tax. But, I would like to think if I were, then my taxes would be going to something good. And in my view, helping people, many of which have fled horrible pasts to seek safety and financial security in England, I'd like to think they could be accepted and still keep some of their own tradition and that we could have the respect to allow that. It's hard enough moving from country to country, learning a new lanuage, finding a job, let alone being told to fuck off by their community, and perhaps keeping some marriage laws...etc, may make them feel more at home, show them we have respect for their laws too.
