Nope, i thought i made it more than clear where i was going with my prvious line of questioning. I do think its completely obvious that the UK is a popular choice of location for migrants, particularly from within the EU, because of the most common second language point...that along with great benefits, schooling, and job opportunities makes for a very desirable destination. Not saying our flawed system is better than anyone else's, i sometimes forget how many european people post on here with it previously being NTSC-UK. Lets not pretend like we are a country who hasn't had a major influx though.
Let me put it this way i'm sure the europeans with money, sense, and any degree of standards are the ones moving elsewhere.
Out of pure curiosity, and to stoke the flames, how many would be willing to state their nationality here? Just so i can get an idea of what might be behind certain comments, like the ones above, which have come as a surprise to me. In particular the response i've had to pointing out the fact that english is the most common second language leads me to believe that a fair few of you might be from outside the UK. If i'm incorrect on that and most of us are actually british, then i apologise...but i'm curious now. It just slightly alters the dynamic of the argument for some is all.
