Hi, I am unusual I think, in that, I am Scottish, but not proud of it, never have been. I feel there is a huge devide between Scotland and England, and not the fault of the English, I have never heard an English person decry the Scots, but have heard plenty Scots decry the English, my Husband is English,not easy living in Scotland believe me. We will be in Cyprus from January, and will try to be as 'Cypriot' as possible, always remembering that we are guests in their country.

theres a lot of truth in miltiades post...my parents and friends parents came here and worked their ass off to get somewhere. now we've got immigrants who claim asylum and get given everything. and who pays for the benefits?

There's definitely tension brewing about the situation in the UK with the immigation and the lies and spin being put on everything. It's bulls**t basically and everyone's getting pretty fed up of being made to feel guilty for being British.
Can't wait to make my millions and move to a Greek speaking country!
Although all governments are prob. as bent as each other...

Hogie , welcome to the forum , and I do wish you have a nice holiday in Cyprus. Don't worry about being yourselves , Cypriots are a welcoming lot and a hospitable one too.
Hope the weather performs well for you .

what is so right about what miltiades wrote
he lives there as an immigrant and he accuses the multi-culturalism of britain...for gods sake!!!!
not to mention all the rest of the stereotypes

There is a big difference. Miltiades embraces what the UK has to offer, working with the culture - not against it. Many immigrants believe that the UK is a soft touch and somewhere to get something for nothing and the government are stupid enough to allow it.

Wow - that's so refreshing - so realistic. You should fit in well wherever you are Hogie - good attitude.

Wake up to realities . I live in the UK as a true Brit having come here as an immigrant.
I fly the flag I support our football team I hate cricket , I vote at elections I criticize unpleasant aspects of life and no one ever told me to go back where I came from , you know why , because my passion for this country and my sorrow at what the politicians have forced us to accept glows and people see it and react. There is in my children English blood and their grandfather fought in the last war and served as a prisoner of war in Japan , he fought so that we enjoy what every civilized human being should enjoy .FREEDOM OF SPEECH , FREEDOM BELIEVE OR NOT -LIVE WITHOUT FEAR OF THE POLICE THE ARMY OR THE F..NG RELIGIOUS POLICE.
This is why Miltiades is correct. The new immigrants do not deserve these precious gifts because frankly my dear they are not ready yet since they are stuck in the dark ages.
