Do Westerners EVER stop talking about racism? For even one day? There's like four threads on racism, can't you guys at least keep this nonsense confined to one thread??  |

No, I view myself as an international citizen.  |

I have never heard of a country called "international." What color are your passports? |

I don't think the cliche way Westerns think...
...which is obvious to the posters here, hence why they assume I must be Korean. Nope, just have a free functioning brain. |

I think it'll happen in Sheffield.
And it'll be with a non-Muslim community. |
Why do you keep posting thinly-veiled fantasies about race-wars?
You sound like some bespectacled closet racist dweeb. |

British people (on the whole) are selfish and deluded. The whole concept of society and community has been lost in large areas of the UK.
People are being driven to work longer hours, for less pay and over the coming years benefits/tax credits and the whole 'safety net' will be reduced in the UK.
As this happens and as interest rates rise people will have even less money in their pockets. Rent prices will increase as greedy BTL landlords will have to increase rents to cover the cost of increased cost of their mortgages.
Scapegoats will need to be found - over sea aid/immigrants/EU.
UKIP's first seat in parliament last week is a game changer.
The conservatives will have to lurch over to the right to stop the rush of votes from more hard line conservatives to UKIP.
The UK economic 'recovery' is a joke - it's being propped up by even more consumer debt, for the last 5-6 years interest rates have been at a historic low, but they can't increase interest rates because the whole house will collapse like a house of cards.
The reform to UK pensions in the coming months is one huge smoke screen, which will encourage older people to take out chunks of their pensions to give to their children to put down deposits on houses, coz house prices 'can only go up' - right?
Meanwhile they expect the state to care for them when they get old, because they've 'paid into the system' all their lives. The state is bankrupt. Politicians are running around sticking plasters (band aides) on to the sinking ship but holes keep popping up.
Politicians cannot be truthful with the UK population because they know that if they are, they will be lynched in the street.
I make plans for the worst, and hope for the best.
That is Ebola hasn't killed us all by then.

If/when this happens to your street ^ then you'll understand.
When you have a 300,000 pound mortgage and your next door neighbor has turned his garden into a slum village, housing 15 people.
Who am I kidding - how many EFL teachers in Korea will be able to get a 300,000 mortgage.  |

It's interesting to talk about, but frankly you'd support your position better if you weren't quoting the rags known as the 'Sexpress' and the 'Daily Heil' as your sources. Gutter rubbish, both of them, especially on matters such as this.
That being said, the next general election with the rise of UKIP looks to be very interesting indeed. I've got money on another hung Parliament, but this time with no real third party to broker a deal.
Hopefully the ensuing political deadlock will lead to changes in the voting system, eg. proportional representation, rather than the terrible FPTP system the UK currently employs. |

That happened long before the wave of immigrants. 1950's onwards. |

I agree the rise of UKIP is depressing as is the anti-immigrant views of the country as a whole.
However, it is simply not true to paint the UK economic recovery as a 'joke' and you need to show your working to prove that the UK is bankrupt.
The UK is also doing a lot better than the French and that is the most improtant thing. |

The only way to gain a full understanding is to read every source and to come to a balanced conclusion. I do read EVERY newspaper in the UK, as well as several others from across the world.
I enjoy reading the Daily Mail, mainly because of the sports section, but also because it's a 'bulky' paper with lots of articles.

This is a quote from one of the posters - it sums up the UK quite well I think.

New car sales hit 10 year high - how many have been paid for outright? How many on 24-36-48 month 5%APR's - why not?, it's 'cheap money'

I'm waiting a little longer, for gold prices to fall a little more, then i'm going to buy 1 - 1.5 KG of gold.
NOTE - I was not one of those people who was saying buy gold last time! |
