"Obviously it couldn't happen, even though some people think its the best thing .... but surely these people who only want white British in England, wouldn't they miss anything? Could they live on fish and chips and Yorkshire puddings??" What if you are part Scottish+English part European refugee from WW2, and part European as a european migrant? I mean I was born here, so I'm British, but as many 'patriots' have posted through my letter box, 'Im not a native Briton'. | |||

"Just waiting for anyone who thinks 'send them back' to think this through." What's to think through? You said send them back and addressed all immigrants and refugees. In my mind you are addressing all - regardless of ethnicity, culture, religion, and point of arrival, refugees and immigrants. So who specifically are you talking about? Or are you actually suggesting all immigrants and refugees who have arrived here since the concept of nation states? | |||

Or are you actually suggesting all immigrants and refugees who have arrived here since the concept of nation states?" I perhaps need to make this clear. On z number of threads on this forum, a number of 'Britain first' type posts have suggested we send all immigrants back. I am not only wondering exactly how this would be done (too obvious and discussed ad nauseam) but what would these people miss? Don't they think anything is added to what makes Britain Britain by the immigrants. If anyone is in doubt about my personal views, feel free to look at the profile or press the green arrow .... its pretty obvious I am not suggesting anyone should be sent anywhere .... | |||

"Just saw the 'if they left' bit - well okay, I'd miss all the Indian, Middle Eastern, Eastern European and Western European...and latin American restaurants and specialist shops which have sprung up over the last 5 years in my localish areas. Oh and all the doctors, professors and students and business people I work with on a monthly basis who have enriched my understanding of the world and personally, scientific ideas." I'm glad you mentioned science...where on earth would we be without foreign scientists? "England and Scotland were leading centres of the Scientific Revolution from the 17th century[278] and the United Kingdom led the Industrial Revolution from the 18th century,[228] and has continued to produce scientists and engineers credited with important advances.[279] Major theorists from the 17th and 18th centuries include Isaac Newton, whose laws of motion and illumination of gravity have been seen as a keystone of modern science;[280] from the 19th century Charles Darwin, whose theory of evolution by natural selection was fundamental to the development of modern biology, and James Clerk Maxwell, who formulated classical electromagnetic theory; and more recently Stephen Hawking, who has advanced major theories in the fields of cosmology, quantum gravity and the investigation of black holes.[281] Major scientific discoveries from the 18th century include hydrogen by Henry Cavendish;[282] from the 20th century penicillin by Alexander Fleming,[283] and the structure of DNA, by Francis Crick and others.[284] Famous British engineers and inventors of the Industrial Revolution include James Watt, George Stephenson, Richard Arkwright, Robert Stephenson and Isambard Kingdom Brunel.[285] Other major engineering projects and applications by people from the UK include the steam locomotive, developed by Richard Trevithick and Andrew Vivian;[286] from the 19th century the electric motor by Michael Faraday, the incandescent light bulb by Joseph Swan,[287] and the first practical telephone, patented by Alexander Graham Bell;[288] and in the 20th century the world's first working television system by John Logie Baird and others,[289] the jet engine by Frank Whittle, the basis of the modern computer by Alan Turing, and the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee.[290] Scientific research and development remains important in British universities, with many establishing science parks to facilitate production and co-operation with industry.[291] Between 2004 and 2008 the UK produced 7% of the world's scientific research papers and had an 8% share of scientific citations, the third and second highest in the world (after the United States and China, respectively).[292] Scientific journals produced in the UK include Nature, the British Medical Journal and The Lancet." | |||

" I noticed there are reference marks in this passage yo have obviously copy and pasted, care to share the reference. Yes in the past British scientists have been world leaders and world leading - and yes we are still one of the most attractive places in the world to conduct scientific studies in both academia and industry. However, and I believe Prof Steven Hawkings and Brian Cox said that we maintain are place due to our willingness to take in academics from unstable countries, and because we have a very open society which places skin colour and origin of birth behind that of ability, regardless of whether that is in academia, industry or other beneficiaries. | |||

"I'm delighted to see today that the Home Office are finally working to get some of the refugee children in the Calais camp into the UK, we have been dragging our heels for far too long." Personally I cannot believe how they slept at night leaving it so long. Terrible and heart breaking if you've worked with children from Kurdistan or Syria (as I have) .... so awful for them. | |||

Well you seem to have tied your own noose really, if you had just described your pick pocket as Romanian then no that wouldn't be a race, but you said Romanian gypsy, and UK courts have ruled that Irish Travellers and Romany Gypsies are a distinct ethnic group. Out of interest, how did you become aware of their ethnicity? Did they tell you during the attack, or did the police tell you? | |||

The term British criminal may be an oxymoron to some people"Well this is because we keep on letting in people from countries that have prisons and criminals. We should only allow people in from countries that dont have criminals or prisons, like the UK. | |||

Britain was ranked 7th in the world in Nobel science prizes (2010) as per head of population with 104 Nobel Laureate awards in Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine, and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Since 2010 there have been another nine Nobel awards in science (according to my calculations) for Britons with another three in the last month alone! | |||

"If we are sending everyone home does that include the doctors and nurses that are the backbone of todays NHS?" you do realise the NHS backbone is broken, perhaps it was those lower qualified / lower trained doctors & nurses that helped fuck up the NHS | |||

"If we are sending everyone home does that include the doctors and nurses that are the backbone of todays NHS? you do realise the NHS backbone is broken, perhaps it was those lower qualified / lower trained doctors & nurses that helped fuck up the NHS" Its their vested interests, they just want to make everyone better so they can knock off early for the day, the bastards. Or do they keep everyone sick just to keep themselves in a job, I can never remember? The NHS isn't broken, and it isn't fucked up. Don't get me wrong, there is always room for improvement and it could be better, but we do have one of the best healthcare systems in the world that looks after people cradle to the grave, rich or poor. People say that its Remainers who talk the country down, but I find comments like this are much more likely to come from Brexiters. | |||

If I had only went national health, my condition would have been getting drastically worse, rather than full recovery with private health care I am sure the NHS tries to do a good job, but when it comes to my health I will go private every time and yes we do know that some surgeons treat both NHS & private patients but until you experience treatment on both sides you will never know the poor quality on one side and excellent quality of treatment on the other. . | |||

I'm asking for the source you got those paragraphs from. Yes Britain has always been good for science, home grown talent has always been strong, however it's on the rise elsewhere. The key is remaining competitive and maintaining strong public investment in educating your own populace, but also be willing to bring in and allow research from other nationalities within our own borders. 5 years is a long time in science, something can make gnome analysis cheaper allowing for more effective medical diagnostics at a cheaper price, then 5 years later be made redundant by a new technique or method or piece of equipment from a different research team elsewhere. | |||
