First citizenship ceremony for UK

bbc report

Seems like a great way of making people feel like they are a part of the communtity. Maybe it will help prevent the race riots we saw a couple of years back.

What do you think?

Regular british citizens don't have to do the same, so i don't see why immigrants should.

120,000 people become British citizens every year
100,000 asylum seekers come to the UK every year - 95% stay
150,000 work permits are given to foreign nationals each year - again most stay in the country

And countless numbers of illegal immigrants flood into the country each year - we have no idea how many but it may well be over 100,000

So - fact - 370,000 foreigners move to the UK each year (and that's not including the illegal immigrants who may well be 100,00 a year)

Only 200,000 people are born in this country each year

Result: the native population will be displaced within a few centuries.

I'm not against immigration (we need immigration, and my girlfriend is an Indian immigrant who only recently became a British citizen) - but I am against this indirect genocide of our people.

The gods, when they wish to destroy a people, first make them mad. And we must be mad, absolutely mad, to be allowing such displacement at such a rapid scale.

Mark my words: if this continues, we will be like the aboriginals of Australia or the Native Americans of North America - strangers in our own land.

Why on earth would that make Britain a nicer place?

I suggested this a couple weeks back but actually went one step further by advancing the idea of taking a pledge of allegience, taking a citizenship program, and being able to speak English as a requisite for citizenship, as is the case in Uncle Sam.

Not surprizingly I was shouted down by a clear majority that thought it unfair that a Albanian speaking immigrant shouldn't just be given a British passport and all the benefits that go with it.

So good luck with this particular battle!

what are you talking about? Where are your "stats" from? How are each of the 3 groups you've described mutually exclusive? Whats the native population? Clearly the people born include second generation migrants? So are they part of your genocide, or are they "native?" What's mad? Who's been displaced? Where are you moving to?

I'm far worse - I'm a Daily Mail reader lol

But seriously, wanting to preserve one's people is not racism. Immigration is great - but not at this scale.

I didn't suggest that sir. Just be careful which side of the line you tread

Anybody who watches the news knows that asylum applicants reached the 100 K mark last year, that the Blair government has increased work permits from 70 K to 150 K per year - and the 120 K figure for the number of people who become UK citizens each year was on the news even today (because of the ceremony). I can’t be held responsible for your lack of awareness of current affairs - you do your own homework.

The native population is Anglo-Saxon. Asians and Africans are not native to England just as white Americans are not native to North America.

What is happening to England is exactly what happened in Australia and North America - the native population is being displaced by large-scale immigration.

I know its weird, I wouldn't have a problem with anyone who comes to this country if they are planning to make a worthwhile life for themselves and give something back.

I just don't believe every immigrant is a freeloader, especially the eastern europeans who were told are coming here and have every right too in the summer.

Most people just want a good life like anyone else.

As for learning English, maybe the government should spend less money on putting up signs and writing everything in every language so that everyone can understand and more time on teaching people English.

Yeah, Blair did a great job protecting the Kosovans from the Serbs - now we know why the Serbs wanted to kill them...
