General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

This is my first post, so first of all I would like to say hello. I am for a multi-cultural society and don't really have a problem with immigration or even asylum seekers (if they are genuine) but I do believe that they should be able to speak English, even just basic English, have an educational qualification or skill that can benefit Britain, that they be able to support themselves without government assistance, should abide by the laws of Britain, should accept that it is a Christian country and although they would be welcome to maintain their own religion this should not impinge on the rights and beliefs of other citizens and should they commit a crime, they would automatically be deported. In the case of asylum seekers, their reasons for seeking asylum should be thoroughly investigated before they receive the type of hand-outs I am reading about on this board. I actually live in Australia (but are a citizen of both Australia and Britain - hence my username) and hold the same view for people who wish to live here.
