‘It seems like Freeper would be more suspicious of the MSM but like most people, jump on things that fit in their already formed beliefs.’
I learnt long ago not to form my opinions of America and her people from the media. Sadly there are many Freepers who are all too happy to believe the MSM about Britain if it fits their preconceptions.
After visiting Britain last year for three weeks with my English born and raised wife, my opinion would be that it has hardly turned into Hyderabad or Nairobi. But I did notice that many of the restaurants in London we ate at were run by east Europeans. And we noticed that many of the people behind the counters in convenience stores were from Asia. But we didn't see crowds of Koran-waving fanatics with blood-dripping scimitars.
One brother-in-law also pointed out on a long trip from Norwich to Aberdeen that a group of workers picking veggies in a field were most likely all from eastern Europe. But overall, after visiting England and Scotland, it didn't look to me that Britain was in near danger of becoming another Pakistan or some other mideast country. Even in London most of the people we saw in four days appeared to be, like my in-laws, average white Brits.
