All I can add matey is that down South, going to my local Morrissons is like going to a foreigh country. We have servere housing shortages and the prices of houses and rents have gone through the roof.
Mass immigration IS a problem down here - maybe not for you, but certainly here.
And as for the Brits living abroad, most are self funding through retirement etc.
Our pensioners are putting quite a strain on the health service in parts of Spain.
High house prices in the south?? good golly and gosh whatever next.
Britain and particularly the south has always been a melting pot and there have always been those that don't like it.
2nd generation immigrants don't like new immigrants.
People in general just don't like change.
Even places like Australia and the U.S. have people sulking about immigrants.
Where do you draw the line?
Them bloody Geordies coming down here and working for less, nickin our jobs and wimmin.
A bit farther afield maybe.. Scotland, Ireland, Wales ??
Obviously Brits have a great reputation abroad.....
We are considered in many countries to be arrogant,work shy, dishonest, loud, obnoxious and drunk.
The English language is made up of several other European languages with bits and pieces added to it from our colonial days.
Britain has since the first days of sea travel been a country of immigrants and emigres.
Right now more people are coming in than leaving that tells me I live in a good place.
A quick look in the history books will tell you this hasn't always been the case.
