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.

That's funny... weren't you just saying that UKians were not PC and now you call me a racist for an obvious hyperbole.

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.

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

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. 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.

Except by illegal immigrants who have been arrested and deported on multiple occasions.

Firstly, I haven’t called you rascist. Secondly the term ‘filthy Asians’ has nothing to do with PC, most people would find it offensive.

You ask why I bring up the number of hispanics moving to the US when the story is about emigration from Britain. Well, the story suggests that it is to do with immigration that people are leaving the UK. If that were true, they why would these people move to countries such as France, Spain, Canada and the US that have higher levels of immigration than the UK? You have turned the argument into a rant about Muslims, when this group only makes up 2-3% of the UK population. I’ll repeat again, the UK faced a far more sustained threat from its Irish community during the Troubles. During that period, would it have been rational for UK citizens to abandon their country because of this group of immigrants? You say that Britain is being flooded by immigrants and that all sane people should leave the UK. This argument is illogical given the fact that the US has far higher levels of immigration to it than the UK. You focus on Muslims, but this group is in the minority of emigration to the UK. Also, many Muslims are decent and hard-working. Look at Muhammed Ali and the British boxers Danny Williams and Amir Kahn. They are not all murderous thugs. I do concede, however, that there is a global problem with a minority of Muslims (fanatics).

I have respect for all peoples. Most immigrants to any country, be they hispanic, Irish,Italian, British etc are merely seeking a better life.

I respect you, Sir, and you opinion: lets have a friendly debate :-)
