More than a quarter of a million Romanian and Bulgarian nationals now live in Britain – a figure that has risen by almost 50,000 over the past 12 months. The number based here has increased more than fivefold in eight years – making up the equivalent of a city the size of Wolverhampton.

Are most of the Bulgarians Orthodox or Muslim?

Well, at least the Romanians will work, probably harder than native Britons, and they will not try to chop your head off.

Romanians are good folk. Christianity is growing in that country.. a rarity among European nations.

I would MUCH rather see Christian Romanians and Bulgarians immigrating than filthy mohammedans.

I was thinking, “PIGS be upon him,” but that’ll work too.

A lot of Poles as well, which I believe is bad for all countries, because it drains one country of its’ youth, and eventually all those countries will have are the elderly and otherwise unproductive and creates Balkanization in the host country.

As long as they’re not thieving gypsies I don’t care. I know lots of East Europeans, especially Poles and they’re generally sound, and they work harder than the average Briton.

They are an asset to us, and the more we have of them moving here, the more they will dilute the influence of the third world communities of bronze age ignoramuses who are growing in numbers every day here.

Christians most are—at least they may well intergrate and in time become British.
