Firstly, you refer to immigrants to the UK as ‘filthy Asians’. This is quite rascist. Many Asians families have been in the UK since the 1970s and many are hard working and loyal. Secondly, the number of Asians moving to the UK is far smaller than the number of Eastern Europeans coming here. The UK has never been ‘flooded’ with immigrants. I visited Florida a few years back and didn’t meet a non-hispanic for two weeks. Mexican immigration into the US is on a proportionate scale far larger than immigration to the UK. I heard that in about 10-15 years, 25% of the entire US population will be hispanic.
In 2001, only 8.5% of the UK population was non-white. If, in this global age of mass migration UK citizens want to abandon their country beacuse a few more people have come here wanting a better life then you have to question their sense of perspective and, yes, loyalty to the UK.
Lots of my English and Scottish colleagues have parents/older relatives who have retired to Spain and Portugal. If they are younger and looking for an "Anglo-Celtic" culture, Australia would be a better bet than the UK. Folks don't realize but Americans of English descent are a small minority of the US population as a whole, and the white population in aggregate. There are more people of German, Irish, and Italian ancestry in the U.S. than English.
BTW: I have more East Indians within a five mile radius of my house than anyplace in London. Don't have a problem with any of them.
That's funny... weren't you just saying that UKians were not PC and now you call me a racist for an obvious hyperbole.

Who cares. The story here is that people are leaving the UK.

If I was hispanic I would be offended that you're comparing my culture with that of the Muslim hoardes. I rather live in a country that's 75% Hispanic than one that's 10% Muslim. At least I'll have my head and my daughters won't be raped because they think she's a whore anyway.
Bump for the “filthy Asians” being uncalled for, even if not directed at all Asian immigrants in the UK.
“The UK has never been ‘flooded’ with immigrants. I visited Florida a few years back and didn’t meet a non-hispanic for two weeks.”
The hispanics aren’t trying to lop anyone’s head off.
That's because Florida, where I was born and raised BTW, has been flooded with Hispanic immigrants for decades, and the flood tide is still on the incoming side of the ledger. (pardon the mixed metaphor. I'm grammar-challenged, as you can see)
FL was one of the first victims of unchecked immigration after Castro took over and became even less controlled when Castro exported his social misfits and hardened criminals to the US via the 1980 "Mariel boatlift", but it's immigration problem is now dwarfed by the totally out of control Mexican immigration monster that is eating the 4 US southern border states alive. At least FL got most of Cuba's most productive, talented, and conservative people at the beginning of the exodus when Castro took over, all we are getting from Mexico are apparently the poorest and least productive classes of it's medieval type feudal system.
