I have strange views on this subject.Originally Posted by RogerR
The right wing tory in me wants to see tough and selective immigration policies. If I can't go to Australia or US without proving that I can make a contribution to that country, or lots of money, then I won't be able to reside there.
I want to see all immigrants swear/affirm allegiance to the Queen. I am a strong monarchist. I think that in the Queen we have a fantastic figurehead. I believe strongly in singing the National anthem before major sporting events.
As a Chinese boy growing up in this country, I was and still am very very careful about the way that I present myself to people in this country. I usually try to show myself in a positive light so that people think well about Chinese people. I have always been conscious about being an ambassador for my race and it has affected the way that I interract with the natives of this country.I tried to be friendly to people that I met on the street.
The problem is that many come to this country for an easy lfe and what they can get out the system.This country is reknowned for being an easy touch and people take the mick.
I too believe that you should respect this country and not try to change it.
But on the other hand, where did the money for this country come from. It came from slavery and the colonies, This country raped and pillaged other countries. Hong Kong is one example. The Brits tried to allow the sale of opium to the Chinese and the Chinese rebelled and so the Brits took Hong Kong.
The sun did not set on the British Empire. That is how powerful and ruthless it was.
That is why I was born in this country....my grandfather worked for the British High Commissioner. The latter was so powerful that people bowed as he passed by in his coach.
But this country has a conscience and that is why it is now teeming with people from the Commonwealth.
It is a classic "We conquered all these people....now how do we feed and manage them?" The spoils of war!
