Are there to many foreign people coming to this country,plus are we losing are British Identity.?

Lauren

We can have people born in other countries living in Britain and still be proud.... I certainly still see Britain as a very special place!

I am more proud of the hard working people who come from other countries to live here than the millions of lazy *** Brits who claim disability benefits because they have bad nails or are obese!

I still see Britain as having it's identity, it's just updated itself and moved on... it's the media who tell you that it's a horrible place to live and the problem is the majority of the people listen to this!

People complain that Brits can't get jobs because people are coming to live here from Poland or whatever but I say if the Polish are willing to come here and work for a living, let them... there are plenty of jobs out there for everyone and if everyone was willing to work for a living, we would all be much better off!

It's the Brits I'm ashamed of not the people moving here from other places

I'm not saying that everyone who comes here has the best of intentions, but I would say that at least 80% of them do!

The Celts felt just the same when the English arrived here from northern Germany.

This has already been asked many times.

Very racist question.

Considering we were originally a nation of foreigners, romans, vikings etc then the new influx really is just a continuation of the way it has always been, but it will be many years before we become a 'nation' again and who knows what will happen, I guess we can only just sit and watch America for the outcome

LadyMoonlight!!

There are too many people here who are taking jobs and placing extra demands on our health service, housing and education.

And to the "Welsh" person who says there's "no British identity" - speak for yourself. I'm Welsh *and* British. And yes there is a British identity. I feel it quite strongly.

Of course it is not "racism" - a much abused word. Yes, there are far too many coming to Britain; many of whom are just riff-raff there for a free lunch. There is not much one can do about it, though, since the Establishmemt is all in favour of the process continuing. I suspect that little short of a revolution would suffice.

Well, you have Morissey on your side!

I think there is a lot of fear in the indigenous English. I don't know why that would be. We are all individuals first, and citizens of Britain second. Why can't we share the world with each other?

What is the British identity anyway? Most of it is a stereotype. Lets learn to be citizens of the world together.

Saying it isn't racism doesn't change whether it is or not- that's not for you to judge.

Anyway. No and No.

Dont Hate Me Coz U Cant Add Me

yes and the very first sign of it is that u've forgotten how to spell.
damn those foreigners
made u forget how to speak in ur own language!

Why do the Neanderthal racists here post the SAME QUESTION all the time? I mean, have you not seen the millions of other identical questions here asking the same thing? Or can't you read? And what does 'British Identity' mean? Does it mean not having a clue when it comes to ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND SPELLING?

Kev

Oh please, what exactly is 'British identity' anyway? You're either patriotic or you're not. No amount of immigrants can take away the fact that i'm Scottish and proud of it. Even when i eventually emigrate to a sunnier climate, i will still consider myself to be Scottish.

Please see a question i posted earlier today on this subject ..............http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoPDPiP1etriVarxULkg4GkgBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20071129062435AAVj017

Yes and yes. Britain should be taking care of its own first. Only once we have got a perfect country should we be helping other countries citizens. There is no longer the great pride in Britain there once was because we(white British) people are being told what we should believe and how we should live (ie no "christmas trees" in town centres) and if we dare to stand up for our history or rights as British citizens we are classed as racists. If we complain about the amount of imigrants coming to this country not able to speak the language we are racists. If we say anything in response to the complaints when muslims are not allowed to wear religious articles to places of education or work etc we are racists. If we fight for UK citizens to have better healthcare, housing and wages to see our own people having better standards of life we are racists. Why the hell did my Grandparents (and those of every other Brit) bother to fight in the world wars to keep this country from Hitlers hands if we are going to roll over and give it up now?? By this countries government not allowing British citizens to live how they want to is this not also racism???
A friend of mine is currently travelling 30 minutes each way to take her son to a school on my estate as if he had attended any of the 5 schools that are closer to his home he would have been an ethnic minority in the school and he is White British. She is not racist she just wants her child to be educated with english children in english schools by english teachers cus we live in ENGLAND!!!

and we Americans are worried about the millions of illegal Mexicans crossing our borders, and refusing to learn the English language, stealing our jobs and Social security as well as receiving our Food Stamp and welfare benefits that are supposed to help us when we need it. I think as technology grows and travel becomes easier we will start to truly become an international world where people cross borders of countries like we cross state borders.

astonite40

Yes and Yes.
We are slowly sinking.

angela p

I am british living in france and there are thousands of us, my father was british living in spain, again thousands, I think what people should be more worried about is the amounts of brits leaving england to live abroad, like rats leaving a sinking ship,

resignedtolife

All is lost. I just remember the good old days of the fities and sixties.

Wal

Yes there are too many, first of all there is just not enough place for all that want to come, there are not enough jobs and the more people that are using our social system the worse it gets

mikeywills

We do not have a british identity. We have a Celtic one, a Norman one, a Viking one yes but not a british one. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your roots, I am Welsh and very proud, but I would not consider myself british.
