Hey Brent dont worry mate they are a strange bunch here sometimes, a lot of hate from what i can see. I guess they are balshy behind their monitors and angels in reality i don't see anyone rioting here or flags burning its just all talk ! I dont think ill hang round this forum anymore its getting dull. Lifes too short to worry so much ,what will be will be ,ive resigned myself to destiny !

Brent we do have an inferiority complex don't we?

It's obvious you don't know jack about living in Cyprus. I wasn't having a pop at you personally, just saying that those are the comments of the usually ill informed who face such a rude awakwening when they move here. They say loads of wonderful things to justify in their own minds why they have moved here. They are dumbstruck when this utopia isnt all that it seems.

And its not just about cyprus. The same scenarios are replicated by Brits across europe. Its just that we can talk about here because we live here. It's our home now. it's better than the offerings available under Blair in Englanstan which is now a destroyed country.... providing you have your eyes open, your wits about you... and you learn fast.

Many move here, stay here and do love the place, which is fair enough. But they arte usually very well off and dont have to earn to live. For the rest of us... its a bit of a slog that we choose to undertake for many a varied reason.

You're right I don't know you......just as well because whilst you think i should be on a soapbox in Hyde PARK, I think your head will be stuck where it can see what you had for breakfast and you'd just ignore any advice you were given anyway.... and i'm not talking about advice from me!

Good luck to you anyway whatever you choose to do.

Which "Wacko's" are you referring too?

The wackos that just can't get on with one another...

If your wanna live 2gether obviously you need to accept each others failings and look past it....

And don't paint people with the same brush just cause the belong to a certain race or nationality......

We are all individuals.... and should be judged as such...

Brent 2403 , as far as quality of life in England vs Cyprus quality of life , is like comparing a Ferrari to a bloody Ford Escort .
The Ferrari is shining gloriously in the winter , Autumn , Springtime and Summer , while the bloody Escort is covered in mist , ice , snow ,. rain and more bloody rain and is not even English any more , not the car the bloody country that is.
They used to say you are never alone with a G in your pocket , well you are if you are in in Englandstan now alone amongst asylum seekers , illegal immigrants , fanatics who want to impose their weird and prehistoric way of life on us.I cant wait to get out for good.

Mitalides...........you are right mate

It's called the multicultural experiment. And it's failed. But they wont admit it.

No christmas plays. Roads and streets named after 'famous' muslims. Muslim only schools. 30% of muslims want sharia law. 'UK born muslims acting as suicide bombers in the UK. yet still Blair rams it down our throats that muslims and islam is cool. See a pattern??????

We can see. Blair and his PC cronies can't or won't. Yet they continue to force this stuff on the English person.

There will be a bloodbath. Enoch Powel was right. We just didnt understand who he was on about.

I got out. I fear for my country, my kids and grandchiildren.

Welcome to the world of "Capitalism". It was once said, "that if you give a capitalist enough rope, he will end up hanging himself". Capitalist would sell their own mother, for a profit. So it is a little hypocritical now to blame "multiculturalism" as the cause of all the problems in the "West". If it wasn't for all the foreign minorities that move to the "West", the "West" would have remained standing still. I don't know whether Enoch Powel could have foreseen the future, but he was a racist of the worst kind, but may that as be, the West have gotten richer on the backs of the foreign cheap labour, thanks to "Capitalist".

You are right - companies in the UK do exploit immigrants as cheap labour as do most countries however this is by far overshadowed by the enormous amount of money the UK taxpayer has to spend on social security and support for immigrants.

Many immigrants don't even bother to learn the language or attempt to fit in with the British culture not to mention the constant threat from terrorists who have been educated, clothed and fed by the people they are murdering.

Yes, lets throw out the "baby with the bath water". Lets condemn all immigrants, because the actions of the few. If you did that, the Westerners will not be able to find holes small enough to hide in, for their actions for the last few hundreds of years, all over the world.

I in no way condemn all immigrants. Many are very decent hardworking people who enrich the British culture and as you say allow the UK to move forward. Miltiades for example is a Cypriot who had made his home in the UK and is decent and hardworking. He has certainly added to the culture but he is also fed up with immigants who simply exploit our ridiculous immigration system (sorry Miltiades - hope you don't mind me using you as an example).

My point was that your original comment condeming the 'West' as a nation of capitalists who would have stayed still without foreign minorities was too selective - there is a much bigger picture.

I am sure you get fed up with Brits who move to Cyprus and make no attempt to fit into the culture and learn the language and I would agree with you (the point of this thread!).

However, the UK political system has caused each culture to remain at odds with each other causing conflicts and problems, it also encourages racism between the cultures. The worst racism we have in the UK is between the ethnic minorities - eg Asians and Africans.

Before those immigrants came to England, the British first paid a visit to them, exploiting their natural resources and claiming their land. It's one of the reasons immigrants don't feel grateful at all..
