Crossing borders

Let me see if I understand all this...

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOUR.
IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.
IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU GET SHOT.
IF YOU CROSS THE SAUDI ARABIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE JAILED.
IF YOU CROSS THE CHINESE BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU MAY NEVER BE HEARD FROM AGAIN.
IF YOU CROSS THE VENEZUELAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE BRANDED A SPY AND YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED.
IF YOU CROSS THE CUBAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE THROWN IN TO POLITICAL PRISON TO ROT.

IF YOU LAND IN BRITAIN ILLEGALLY YOU GET A JOB, A DRIVERS LICENSE, SOCIAL SECURITY, WELFARE, FOOD STAMPS, CREDIT CARDS, SUBSIDIZED RENT OR A LOAN TO BUY A HOUSE, FREE EDUCATION, FREE HEALTH CARE, A MEMBER OF PARLIMENT AND IN MANY INSTANCES YOU CAN VOTE! Angry

Unreal aint it a great country.

Our eldest is on the housing list for a property with his girlfriend and her child that he has also taken on.Well before christmas there an empty house came available nearby and they asked about it but it had already been allocated.Well the samalians viewed the house and took it and it was ready to move on December 7th yet they have only just started moving in today,well they were fkin urgent werent they.

Country is a sham the system is a sham,if u think how things are now and what they were like when you and i were younger then think what chance is there for our children or grand children. Lips Sealed

Our kids n grand children don't stand a chance, thats what makes me so mad. Had the same thing with my daughter as your son, she her partner and 2 babys all living in a studioflat, so bed two cots all in living room, it took 2 years and a lot of nagging but moved into a two bedroom flat a week before xmas. So is hope for your son, just keep on there back n get local MP on his case, it some time's help's Roll Eyes

Jac its so hard in London. The house prices and rents are extortionate. When Dave worked there in 1991 he was paying £90 week when our mortgage was only £100 month. We bought our house in 1988 for £22,500 worth about £110k now and we will be mortgage free in 2013. I would love to up size with a garden but the kids will be moving on soon and we've just done it all out and the neighbours are lovely

I understand why your so mad about the immigrants as you must see a lot, we are very naive in our little community as there are hardly any ethnic minoritys..but a lot of the older folk round here are quite racist in what they say but its just ignorance on their part

It's the few that make it bad for all Tracy, i mean your out shopping n you get young women with babys standing by cash machine's waiting for you to get your money, soon as you do they pounce asking for money... I think the old folk just speak their minds n to hell with what we think n yes it can be racist, but its the way things are that make people angry.. plus the fact we feel unable to say a word in fear of the old your racist card Roll Eyes

really makes my blood boil Angry
