Britain, and especially London, has become a popular place for tens of thousands of southern Europeans in search of work as the governments of Spain, Portugal and Italy continue to impose austerity measures.
5,350 Spaniards and 5,370 Italians were allocated national insurance numbers in London in the first quarter of 2012, according to The Times newspaper.
The number of national insurance registrations for Spaniards across Britain has soared by 25% year on year. The unemployment rate is more than 25% in Spain.

Really? I heard from friends in Europe that it is closer to 50%.

I know how they feel. In Texas we have a bum rush of
foreigners from other states. A native Texan in Texas is
as rare as a Mexican with liability insurance around here.
And all with their “that aint how we do it up north” crap.

The UK must be made of money and have a surplus of jobs.

I’d rather have Spaniards and Italians over muzzies.

Pretty much. My sis works in HK for a known multinational bank and she was sent in November to Prague and Warsaw. If she says it’s worse than Detroit, it’s worse than Detroit. Her group was attached private security firm affiliated with XI (blackwater) because the banks didn’t trust their own local security guys.

One of my new year resolutions is to give up ridiculous sports.
Maybe I’ll do something productive then

That's sad. between Mexican invasion and the liberals’ invasion from the North it amazes me that Texas is still conservative. We in Louisiana don't have that problem as big as it is there though and we are also still conservative here.
