"Pacqita heard that Britain has a good welfare state and that she and the children could be well off, even if she wasn't in work....so she came here and found that everything she had been told was true," commented a relative of Pacquita of Pacquita Chindamo, Filipino mother of Learco Chindamo who murdered London headmaster Philip Lawrence. She is now living with an unemployed Moroccan in a three-bedroom Council flat in north London.

Next time you hear someone is a Democrat, you may want to pass it on how wonderful Britian is, and offer to buy them a one way ticket.

Thanks for your additional information re the lady finding the "promised land". It just adds a little more to the overall picture. I had mentioned previously , on a post re asylum seekers- merely apply 1955 Canadian standards, to persons wishing entry. I expect the same applied to the USA too, when it selected its newcomers carefully.

A journalist tried to apply turn of the century standards to the new waves of immigrants and asylum seekers. He said (Andrew Rawnsley), that it is the vital lifes blood of a nation- this was true, of course.Difference today is both the USA, Canada and Britain having to face ,in a new English phrase: "Importing poverty". When vicious, unwarranted crime results, it is even more tragic. Aside from that have a wonderful Memorial Day. Weather has turned out suddenly here at the Canadian USA border, from previously poor to a glorious Monday of sunshine.
