unfort, without the Illegals working for shit wages & in bad conditions, the UK would stall

there is a tacit level of dont ask/ dont act involved in the this type of action - th curry emporiums of London could not survive without staff working in the black economy

Most illegals dont take the piss, dont claim bnefits, dont have a high pofile, dont get leathered and urinate in LL doorways on friday nights & contribute much more than they take, tabloid headlines of fraudsters aside - when was the last time you were assailed in the early hours by a group of shitfaced Bangadeshies ?

I find that , for example , NIgerians on the whole are straight, hard working family people, often quite religious and more than happy to make the best of the chance to make something of their lives,yet are stigmatised as cheats by many

Now that the Eblok EU states are showing gowth & higher wages, there is a dminshing pool of legal workers who want to shovel your shit and take the sneering derision of much of the UK population

high pofile raids appease the majority of Brits who on one hand use the labour of these workers, but on the other , demand action to halt migration

expct to see the raid on one of those excrebale police/camera/ action programmes that seem to dominate our TV viewing in the near future

how many Brits go to th US and work black or overstay their visasa in Australia / NZ ?

but thats OK though innit ?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Go Snorky!

Snorky for President.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

People's attitudes to illegal migrants never fails to amaze me.

Over the last 500 years or so we illegally* raped and pillaged, enslaved and claimed it as empire building.

We handed the responsibility of this rape and pillage to the corporations who continue to do this on our behalf, and then when the populations of the countries who have been impoverished for our benefit want to climb out of the shit we've imposed on them and follow the trail of loot to the West to work for their families - we tell them that they are illegal and bang them up in disgusting detention centres that would be closed if they were housing UK criminals.

My partner's dad is British, but he's Jamaican. We had to go back to Jamaica to apply for him to get a visa to come back as my partner and dependent. I could travel to Jamaica without a visa - in fact courtesy of her maj's little red book, I can travel pretty much anywhere, but in order to visit France, America or anywhere else that takes our fancy, my partner has to apply for visas in all of those places cos he's Jamaican.

Why have I got the right to travel anywhere I please and he hasn't?

An accident of birth means I am a citizen of the conquerers and he is a citizen of the conquered, that's why.

* Our past behaviour would be defined as international crimes and genocide under current international law

/ snorky turns off right on lecture mode

[Huguenot]

No CWALD, that's not right. International travel restrictions are about contemporary economics, not about tired old proletariat claptrap. ;-). The rest of the world mainly thinks Brits are wallies.

I do however take your point about accidents of birth. Humans have this wierd tribal thing going on, where you're seen as a representative rather than an individual. Even so, it's hypocritical to reject one tribe (the 'nation state') in order to support another (the 'proletariat') on the basis that tribalism is pants.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I like reading what the last 3 posters have written - partly because they are all broadly correct (yet still disagree) - but also beacause I can't imagine 3 more different people than CWALD, Huguenot and snorky (although I haven't had the privilege of meeting snorks)

[Huguenot]

I have nothing but love in my heart for Chav, and Snorks is spot on.

Ontopication - why do we think this was an immigration raid? For the observers who feel this was heavy handed for immigration, maybe it wasn't?

Offtopication - how great was Chav's comment on colonial corporations? Because I'm having a dull Friday evening I looked up the Dutch East India Company. Do you know it was the first corporation to sell stock?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

High praise indeed, Huggie!!

[Brendan]

It was also the corporation that set up the first colony at the Cape of Good Hope in the mid 16 hundreds, which resulted eventually in me. So the world owes them a debt of gratitude in that respect at least.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Gawd Bless the East India Company.

[Brendan]

Corporate monopolies and the exploitation of colonial land and people aside, how cool are those big old ships.

[candj]

Yes, and think of all that fantastic porcelain from China that ended up in Europe because of the VOC. In fact, the porcelain was a by-product of the rather lopsided trade as it was to act as ballast for the tea that was being shipped.

Edited to add - Soooo off topic!

Snorky woiuld come along, but fears a right old kicking

one or two ED posters have met me, so apparently I do exist

[Moos]

You've got that wrong, Snorky, I think most people love you.

[SteveT]

Yes snorkers put on your anti-stab jacket and come along to the next forum beano, think positive.
