    Default Re: Immigration Question

    Dear Former colonists.

    Owe you? Let's review:

    Most of your infrastructure we built

    We deposed your previous rulers. Let's not get overly rosy eyed about them. Almost without exception they were despots or autocrats. Some of these kingdoms were won in battle in the same way the previous leaders had become king, others were offered to take flight to the West as no longer could their treatment be countenanced. Were the Zulus really peace loving?

    You fought and gained freedom. You have then in many cases indulged in an orgy of violence and corruption not seen since... well, before we got there. Should we not fight as hard to keep you out as you fought to get us out?

    We managed the railways we built, the roads we build, the schools we built, the hospitals we built the law we imposed (or did you like the Tugees?) You didn't want us, and got rid of us as soon as you could, as apparently genocide, starvation and corruption is only a problem if the person is white.

    You were not treated well all that time ago. Since we've addressed how badly you are currently treated by a nice indigenous person, I'd also like to mention how badly the white working class were treated in Europe; similarly occupation of Caribbean islands had death rates that approached 100% of the soldiers who had no vote and no right to leave either. Treating people like scum was truly colour blind: the extremely small minority of rich did it to all - as did the occasional rich former leader.

    We don't really need you. You fill in between the time the unemployed masses here are forced to do anything.

    You have the independence you so ardently fought for. Rot in it.



    Yours,


    Europe &tc

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
