General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I read in my local paper that the largest influx of foreigners into UK is not from Asia but from Poland,up to 600,000 young and single,who work at all the menial jobs the locals don't want then toddle off back to Poland with a pocketfull of cash.While I agree with the sentiments of some,you have to ask yourselves who is responsible for this dilemma.In the '50s it was the West Indians who were imported,then Indians and Pakistanis,now,from what I can gather,it's anyone who claims refugee status,but it is happening in other parts of the world even here in Australia where,I'm ashamed to say,people are locked up in detention centres while they are processed.What is the answer to this problem? Perhaps if the wealthier countries of the world did more to address the needs of the poorer nations unconditionally it would go some way to solving the problem.One thing that I think would help in UK is to ignore or even ostracise the BNP as they only exacerbate the situation,serving to alienate newcomers rather than integrate them.Yes I know there are other problems but you have to start somewhere and while my situation may have been somewhat different I too was an immigrant.
