Polish immigration in UK [491]
so lets get off the band wagon of blaming the uk for all the worlds wrongs ,
no i'm sorry if you interpreted my challenge that way. What i meant to imply is that, the wealth of the nation you live in was not got by means completely devoid of exploitation of other nations and peoples. While you may have not contributed to this, you and yours certainly benefit from it. I could wonder how concerned you really are about the ethicacy of how the money that goes into the british economy is got? How concerned are you about the ethicacy and responsibility of british national corporations abroad?
I'm not saying you yourself are contributing to any unethical (read exploitation) abroad (except if you support the corporations responsible for it with your pocket book-one reason not to shop at ASDA), but if you're not equally dismayed and ready to do something about that then your position comes off as more than a little disingenuous.
what about the many achievments the uk is responsible for ie , the motor car , the aeroplane , the tv , the lightbulb , the nuclear weapons , ships , tanks , neutron bomb , the manufacture of many wonderful drugs like penicillin , drugs to treat asthma , heart disease , and many many more things to be proud of
well unless you're one of the people who actually played a key role in developing those things or contributed in some mighty way to the history of those events or are doing so now in some way then i'd say this is non-point and you really have nothing to be proud of as you've in no way influenced these things. agree to disagree.
if people dislike the uk so much ask yourself one question HONESTLY ! why do they flock here in their millions , if they don,t like it LEAVE simple really
well ask yourself why the english (in the past mind you, and not you personally) went abroad to lands where they considered the people "inferior?" It's the money stupid.
but please don,t make youre way into my country and whinge like little faggits about how bad it is , GO HOME EASY AS THAT !!!!!!!!!!!
i whole heartedly agree with your sentiments but i'm not sure if whinging like a "really no need for that" on a message board will really solve your problem.
erm,how about the NORTH SEA fields smartly pants?
hmmm i looked it up and here's my source:

Bp in fact operates far beyond only the north sea, i retract my apology and stand by my initial querry but remain ready to admit any good points should you make one. But it does appear you need to flesh out your arguement more for me to do this.
