Foreign Quota?

Is there too many foreigners in the game? That's what they are talking about. Gerrard says that they are going to take over the league. Going to? They already have.

But I think its hard to stop foreign players playing in our league when our government is so open armed with anyone who wants to come in.

If I sound controversial? So what?

My wife works in a restaurant that I used to work in 10 years ago. 10 years ago we had the odd backpacker, but mainly it was british run. No cultural problems. Now out of 25 workers she is one of 3 English, the rest are Polish. Now you tell me that something is not right there.

I'm sorry life is so [Poor language removed] in Poland I really am, I'm sorry that Hitler [Poor language removed] them up back in the 30's and 40's, he was as always an evil man. But come on sort your own [Poor language removed] out.

Really gets my back up when we have to constantly shoulder the burden of other nation's problems.

My dad works in North Wales and there is a shop there where they don't allow British people in. There is an actual sign that says NO BRITISH! WTF?

I know Polish people work hard, but not all do. I know British people are lazy, but not all are. But it disgusts me when there are British children on the streets yet we have to house people who are not even citizens of this country.

This country that is supposed to be called Great Britain. Who says that anymore? Christ, even the home nations are divided. Welsh, Scots and Irish all hate the English. The English hate the Welsh and the Scots, and confusion rains down with the English, Irish and Northern Irish.

Then we have some muslim woman who is suing some young white entrepreneur hair dresser for not giving her a job because she wasn't ideal for the position. If she wins, which judging by the minority sympathy here, she will bankrupt this poor woman.

Then we have schools stopping English teachers from having the English flag on their car during the world cup because it will offend the ethnic minority people in this country. So basically what that means is, its ok for them to have their own communities with their own shops, where English is written second, they can fly their flags wherever they like. Yet we don't have an identity.

What a way to whip up racial hatred. I'm all for equal opportunities. I don't have anything against people from other countries. I don't mind their cultures. But I just want my identity back, I want England the way it was when I was young. A proud nation, instead of the whore of George Bush that it has become. (Sorry American's, not offence)

I don't want to bring my children up in a class that is made up mostly of ethnic minorities. Is it going to become normal to not have an English school? Well at the rate we are going, then that is pretty likely.

So what do I do? Do I vote for Labour? Well they don't seem to care too much about immigration, or the homeless uk citizens. Do I vote Tory? Well is Cameron dangerous? Who knows? Do I vote BNP? Well no I don't, because they are too ignorant to understand that it isn't about colour.

So do I do what many British people do, and [Poor language removed] off out of it?

Well perhaps so.

But will it take somebody like Gerrard to make a statement against foreign invasion? Its certainly not something that we are relying on Jim Davidson to say anymore.

Bottom line, I want my country back, and so should everyone who had relatives who fought in WW2. Because if it wasn't for them or the American's we would be speaking another language by now. Instead all their sacrifices are going to be in vain.

Ghost i find my self reading your post and muttering words like "damn right", like you i am not a racist, BUT i feel i am becoming a NATIONALIST.
What do i mean by nationalist? I mean i am bloody proud to come from England (i fight in wars for her!) however England's pride is diminished more every day, not by the immigrants but by the bloody mindless decisions taken by judges and politicians to help integration (the flags debate?).
i absolutely dont have a problem with immigants coming to MY country, but i believe you they should live by the laws of MY land. and respect the culture of MY people. can you imagine what would happen if you went to one of the Balkan nations and demanded a english only shop, or told them to take their flags down???
To sum up a bit of a rant, i dont believe the immigrants are the problem (not all of them anyway) rather i think the problem is with our lawmakers.
 
Bang on the lawmakers are the problem we are going down the road of being a third world country and we are moving very fast to get there.
 

It would be a terrible idea. All protectionism does is drag native standards down. If British players were any good then they'd get a game in the PL.

I disagree there. Some managers are not even looking at bringing in British players. Benitez, Wenger are prime examples.

So? They're employed by their clubs to build the best team they can possibly build. They have no responsibility to play English players. It's a true meritocracy and if English players want to progress then they have to show they have the skills and ability to play as well as the foreign players brought in. As I've mentioned many times before, if English players find the route to the top barred off here at home then they should move abroad like players from every other nation.

Complaining about foreigners is the easy thing to do. Positive discrimination is certainly not the thing to do. Look at South Africa for instance. They've just won the rugby world cup yet now want to enforce a minimum quota for black players on the national team, despite players such as Habana and JP Pietersen playing leading roles throughout the tournament based on their merit, not their skin colour.

As Wenger has said, pick players on ability, not their passport.

Sorry mate, but it goes deeper than that. We have no identity. Is that my fault? Or is that the way the world is? I personally think there are too many people who are far too nonchalent with the state of our nation and the ever increasing influx of parasites.
 
We should incorporate a Vancouver type of immigration policy.

"You can come into our country... if you can offer society something"

What identity? Because I happen to have been born on this piece of rock I'm supposed to act in the same way as everyone else on this piece of rock? Sorry, that's way to simplistic. I'm a human being, that's all the identity I need. Each and every one of us is unique on this planet, lets start treating people as such and quit with the generalisations :)

Oh, and if this is a discussion about immigration rather than foreign footballers, I dare say that the main reason that people complain about immigrants is the perception that they get a free ride on the welfare system. As I've said many times, let people decide which charitable causes to support with their own money and you get no such problems.

Yes it is about immigration, and I think it is wrong.

Let me ask you this though. Do you think its right to have a british classroom where natives are in the minority?

Do you think its right that we can't go to certain districts in a nation our grandparents helped protect?

Do you think its right that we can't go into some shops?

You see I couldn't care less about the poor and innocent of India, North Africa, and Poland. I care about the poor and innocent British people on the streets. Surely they should be taken care of more than people who are not even citizens to of this country?

You see its hard to have this opinion in this country without people thinking you are racist. I'm just a nationalist, I'm English. I'm all for accepting a multi-racial nation, but how about dealing with our own first?
