I am not sure what you expect from a nation of yobs and chavs
Quote from cabletrader:
It's Eastern European migrants who are one of the main causes for resentment in London and other cities in the UK, they've formed ghettos and aren't particularly interested in British culture or even learning how to speak English let alone integrate into our society. They come to UK because of the welfare available, they get a home and money as soon as they arrive! They supplement their welfare checks by committing crime.
The average British citizen is hacked off by their tax pounds being spent to support these people while our 'own' go without.
As far as London goes, it always used to be cosmopolitan which added to it's vibrancy, but it was still London and there was no mistaking where you were. That's been replaced with an overun of foreigners, Londoners have pretty much given up and left them to it.
Here are some statistics from 2007:
Around a third of all sex offences and a half of all frauds in the capital are carried out by non-British citizens.
Poles, who have entered Britain in record numbers since they joined the European Union in 2004, committed 2,310 crimes in the first six months of this year to become the most prolific offenders.
Romanians, whose country became part of the EU in January, committed more than 1,000 offences â an eightfold rise on the same period in 2006, according to Metropolitan Police figures for solved crimes.
Last year, a leaked memo from the then Home Office minister Joan Ryan warned that an estimated 45,000 potential criminals from Romania and Bulgaria â which joined the EU in January this year â would travel to Britain.
uuumm
I enjoyed my time in London, nice airport for plan spotting, but I enjoyed Nottingham much more. Haven't been back to judge the cultural change, but I do recall the locals trying to passify the Muslim minority. Not a good sign. I wonder if Londoners have given in to political correctness, and have accepted their fate as subservient to islam. Anyone been there recently to see this?
Dated a Romanian gymnast once. Damn........................
A collapse in tax revenues will send government borrowing soaring above £60 billion this year, it emerged last night.
Gordon Brown is preparing to tear up his âgolden ruleâ on debt in order to fund a massive spending spree to counter the looming recession. Some economists predict that the level of government borrowing could reach £110 billion by 2011.
The triple shocks of the financial markets crash, housing slump and rising inflation will cause a drastic reduction in the billions of pounds that the Treasury normally receives in stamp duty, corporation tax and income tax, combined with the need to spend more on benefits.
But Alistair Darling will confirm tomorrow that new, âflexibleâ financial rules will be introduced to allow the Government to borrow as much as £3,225 for every person in the country in an effort to stave off an even deeper recession. (Source: The Times).
Gordon and Alistair, two bozzos with no clue.

Gordon Brown has long experience from the UK finance ministry (over 10 years, the longest serving UK chancellor for 200 years) and from the IMF.
I think Gordon Brown has a lot more clue than Henry Paulson or George W. Bush - and Brown has been hailed by many leading economists around the world for acting quickly and decisively with the right kind of measures. The UK adopted the same bank rescue strategy as the Scandinavian governments some decades ago, which has been a proven success. Mexico did some home re-mortgaging when they went through a strong crisis, and this may have some merit as well for the US.
