Skidder1 7,637 Posted November 5, 2014 Davey Watt wants to double up, i think he's going to be disappointed. So does Cameron Woodward!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted November 5, 2014 perhaps the general consensus is people only want our kith and kin here..........ie.only Northern Europeans like Germans and Scandinavians and people from the white Commonwealth. TBF, I think those who want foreigners out want them all out. But thats not an option while we're in Europe so those in charge can't stop the Europeans but will clamp down on the no EU people to make it look like they're doing something - which tbf they are.

Local Boy 36 Posted November 6, 2014 Never heard of the Anglo- Saxons eh! Most people in this country have either Scandanavian or German blood in their veins,and by the way I have no problems with people from other countries....I was trying to say that most people who oppose mass immigration are quite happy with "selective" immigration. When they say selective they mean the people they know, as in the 1970's "I want all those black people chucked out of the country"........ "no, no, not Leroy he's all right I know him"! A rather stereotypical example but this is how the average British casual racist/anti immigration discussion still plays out to this day. Quite pathetic really. We all come from Africa, it was just millions of years ago! As for fighting two world wars against Germany what has that go to do with today? History is something you learn lessons from not re-live every day; because if we didn't take this approach we wouldn't let the Australians over because we deported a fair chunk of their ancestors as criminals!

History is something you learn lessons from not re-live every day; because if we didn't take this approach we wouldn't let the Australians over because we deported a fair chunk of their ancestors as criminals! The point I was making with the comment about Germans was this. Why do people think it's ok to have one nationality here as immigrants, but not another? And to base it on race, as the poster did, was ridiculous. So, just for the record, I have nothing against Germans. In fact, my own brother in law is a Kraut.

dabbsjoe 149 Posted November 6, 2014 Does it make a difference if you have bought and own a property in the UK? owning a property will not make any difference to the work permit process. having a child in the country however will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMW 533 Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) I was under the impression it was more the Australian authorities that were causing the problem rather than ours if last winter was anything to go by.............. RP Only to the extent that Ozzie boarder rules are harsher than ours. Australian Authorities have no say in who comes and who doesn't come to the UK Edited November 6, 2014 by TMW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theknow 2 180 Posted November 6, 2014 The Aussie immigration is very hard and difficult for anyone including Brits so why make it easier for them to come here ? Make it more difficult in line with their system i say Davey Watt wants to double up, i think he's going to be disappointed.
