Ah the government the biggest bunch of liars and fools , who live in their big houses away from trouble and foreigners so will never know the true effects it has on people. There maybe only a minority of people who care about the issue at hand , but believe me the minority vote hits harder and counts for double

Veritaas: Certain cultures in this country have been here many a year. they are now engrained, making them part of British Society. You know that but find it hard to accept. Your choice.
And what do we stand for in this country? Democracy springs to mind and acceptance of others.
Should look up what Cameron's policies are on the whole issue of immigration, will be interesting to see how he deals with this situation.
And do not forget how many countries this little place ransacked and raided in the name of colonialism.
Yes Cameron will be interesting but will fail ,we must be cruel to be kind. sacrifice for the greater good.

I was born in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa and proud of it, I work in China because I am an English teacher specialising in teaching English to non English speaking students, China is developing very fast and needs help in teaching their young students English, so they can compete in a world dominated by the English language.
