    True - the majority of Brits would probably not care if the Irish were offloaded, but the Irish did and do.

    I beg to differ. The UK immigrants who came in the 60s and 70s integrated very well. So much so that my British born

    Dint half make me chuckle.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    What the hell is that supposed to mean?

    Remember, I'm as thick as a brick, so please type slowly so I can keep up.

    You mean the tyranny of the majority?

    Good grief. We've had the tyranny of the minorities to the point of exhaustion. Democracy by it's very definition is government, by, for and with the majority.

    Still as I'm as thick as a brick, I'm sure you'll educate me.
