WASP

I've decided this is who I am going to be! Let me explain. Read a letter in the mail this morning from a visa consultant who is very worried, as we all are about immigration. As he says the people who are arriving and being allowed to stay are not skilled workers therefore do not help our economy but burden our health scheme. benefits etc. The most worrying thing is that he states that in the last 7 months there has been an 80% increase in british subjects applying for visas to live and work abroad. We will sink without trace. So I am a WASP, ie. white anglo-saxon-person who has no intention of deserting britain and if that makes me racicst so be it.

Hello Betty, Well spoken and told The Truth!! There are very many like you, but in saying that, many will not speak their thoughts, possibly ashamed of what might come out!!-- One certainly does not need to be a consultant, to see just how 'things'?? Have changed and I admit everything is acceptable -- Within Reason -- But Not To Excess!! I am in total agreement with you and have said before -- this Island of 'our's' will sink under the excess weight!!--- My Choice too!! I Am A Wasp!! AND Proud Of It

phoenix, how did I know you would agree with me!! I just hope nobody thinks this is racially motivated I'm just concerned at what my granchildren have got to look forward to.I'm so glad that we live in north essex and not Ilford where OH and I grew up as the shootings and so called " honour " killings seem to be a way of life.I know we must move forward but I don't think its always for the best.

The Celts and Brigantes etc had much the same opinion Betty when the Angles and Saxons set foot on our green and pleasant and pleasant land ! Complained bitterly about the plague of wasps no doubt as did the denizens of the world atlas once coloured red !

Hello Betty, We have so little, left to us all Today!!
We do of course have the freedom of speech -- Just??
I suppose it depends on just how 'concerned' one really is?? I believe our people, still get a raw deal -- and yet who really Cares ?? -- We now have severe Floods, people who have Lost Everything, but Everything and how much information is on the news ?? Not much to tell us just how those people are being looked after?? -- We just Have to hear about other countries and 'their' problems??
Am I one of the few that does not want to know??
Charity!! Still Begins at Home??

Ok for the few ignarent people who post on this site I will give give you a small History Lesson.
Anglo - Saxons is a collective names for Germanic peoples who
emmigrated
to this Island from mainly netherlands and norway. These Anglo Saxons were Pagan and worshipped idols.
So are you saying that you are white European pagans and if so what are you doing over here you should be over the sea if you go by your theory lol.
It took the irish missionaries to turn these pagans to christianity (by the attitude of a few they don't seem to have done a very good job, lol theres still a few pagan's left.
No one group of people own this land we are all immigrants from somewhere if we were to search far enough back in our ancestry.
So if you are meaning that W.A.S.P stands for white English and say that you own this land then you really are ignorant. There are many black people who were born in England and have a British Passport you are now denying there equal birthright to this land.
On your point about non skilled workers moving here those are the type we need the most, our farmers are desperate for agricultural workers and so is the catering trade, most hotel's nowadays employ European workers because they are very hard working. So many are leaving school and want to work in the IT industry or do office work and good luck to them , but someone needs to serve at tables or pick fruit in the field.
At this point i would just like to add that though I like this site very much and i think a lot of effort and hard work has gone into it I can't just sit back and let a couple of Racist's ( yes I did call you that, because if you say that you support what the implication of the Term W.A.S.P imply's then that is what you are RASCIST's and you should be named and shamed and your no better than the pagan's who were know as Anglo Saxon's.
So If Maurice wants to remove me from this site that is his decision but while i'm here I will disown myself of anyone who supports this thread.
Has i have said before..If our children and there children are to live together in a peacefull manner then it's up to us has senior citizen's to show an example

Well Skeggy dont know whats happened here, just seen the very profound posting ...well im not racist at all, the only only thing i have a problem with any one that comes to our country is everyone should comply with our laws.
But what i have found half our hospitals wouldnt be able to function with out people from other countries , so if your in that situation, i'd think twice before telling them you are a wasp...
What i have a problem with is the ones who enter this country an never work and have all the benefits, this is whats draining the financies...
No way would Maurice remove you Skeggy..but i think the wasps might get a letter ... think theres been enough wars over religons an culture.... we dont need one in here!!!!

This is a touchy one.
You cant blame these people for wanting a better life,I know I would.I think the government should have set a seal on the amount of migrants we take,like other countries.
I still say the governments are wrong,we train doctors and they have to go to Australia for a job ?
we train dentists and they have to do they same ?
we train nurses and yes the same ?
We need these people,and from what I can gather we are importing migrant workers for the menial jobs,that could be dont by our own people,such as,offenders,people that havent worked for years and dont intend to.
In my local hospital there are many many spanish nurses why ?spain is not a hard up country.!
We now have to find a way of living with this,untill we get a decent hard working and not frightened prime minister that will sort it out !

I am in total aggreement with what Mac says, you can't blame the immigrants for wanting to better themselves, they are not to blame, I also aggree that the government needs to set up a better immigration policy than what it has. But I suspect that behind it all someone is making a lot of money out of this movement of migrent workers and thats why its allowed to happen. A few years ago I worked for around 8 months in a Jobcentre during that time we had no difficulty with finding work for migrent workers they would work on the land or in food packing plants they would take any work available, the problem for us was with some Brits who with 3 or 4 kids who wouldnt work for less than £300 a week because they would be worse off than on benefit.
Before folks start branding words like W.A.S.P around they need to check there facts.
