Anyone see the immigration figures today, it's mostly from Rominans and Bulgarians, even more reason to leave the EU and may have to vote ukip.

Just out of curiosity, are there any other issues that will sway your vote or is it just immigration, it's a general question to everyone really, also, in real life terms how is your life impacted on a day to day basis by all these "Romanians" and "Bulgarians", not looking for some huge debate or anything, it would just be interesting to see if people actually care about anything else apart from all these "foreigners" coming into the UK.

Very good point. I do wish people would realise that these immigrants are a reason their grocery shopping, in real terms, costs a tiny fraction of what it did in the 1970's and 1980's. These immigrants, pound for pound, pay far more into our economy than they take out. These immigrants have been a life saver for our home services industries.These immigrants have been an inspiration to us all in the way these Polish women, for example, with degrees and masters in Art and Philosophy, are willing to work so hard as cleaners and factory labourers. These immigrants have given our children the wonderful opportunity to mix with, study with, socialise with so many diverse cultures and nationalities.

They are us and we are them.

are you proud of the immigration thats in West London, I've read immigration in West London has been in the news this week. Jagsaw you mentioned mixing and socialising, most of uk is segregated.

I was listening to 5 live this morning and they were in West London, and they interviewed local residents, there was an american accent and a few British with a Hint of south Asia. They all said they are moving due to the news concentrated around west London this week.

"They are us and we are them."

Putting that nauseating bit of sentimentality aside, I don't think anyone can be in doubt that the Poles are an upstanding community who work hard and integrate well into British society. But we should not make the mistake of using the term 'immigrant' as an umbrella term to describe anyone from any foreign country, nor of treating all immigrant communities as if they are of the same caliber. I've never met anyone who could tell me that the Somalis add as much to their local communities as the Poles do, except perhaps a copious increase in the number of robberies of old ladies. Not wishing to be unfair, even our young Punjabi men who have recently arrived in this country appear to be possessed of a rather shoddy work ethic.

Not all people are of comparable character by simple virtue of the fact that they come from overseas. Not all of them come here with the intention to work hard. And it happens to be the case that this inertia is more widespread among people from certain parts of the world than people from others.

Y are poles and romanians being confused with those scumbag roma gypsies? They r different kettle of fish. And i agree askhalsa1, regardin somalians. Anotha complete waste of a community in this country. Theyve been here seen mid 90s, yet wat have they contributed? In leicester, the gujaratis hate them, in w.london, the panjabis hate them, n in e.london/s.london the jamaicans/ghanainans/nigerians HATE them.

They helped us win 2 gold medals at London 2012 in the middle/long distance events which has not been done since the legendary Seb Coe/Steve Cram/Steve Ovette days. They also advertised to the wonders of Quorn mince, and the term "Practice, protein, practice, protein" as well as the Mobot.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
