We have a politician who thinks hiring 10,000 police officers would cost £300,000 a year. She could be in charge of our country's security if the libtards got their way.

Here’s a live example of the net result of immigration in UK,

Just watched C4 news where they were interviewing local residents near Grenfell tower. One of the interviewees was currently at uni in the north somewhere and she was complaining she had to share a room with siblings when she was young and can’t afford to live in London. So she needs more social housing. Her siblings(there are 6 of them) are in the same boat.
In case you haven’t already deduced, she is obviously not what I would describe as indigenous British. She was born in UK tho so she is NOW ’British’
So in a few years we will have 6 families of ‘’British’’ ppl to find and fund social housing for and that is just one example.
All the other tenants on the prog were not indigenous either but they were all ‘British’.
Is that why my father/grandfather fought in two world wars

{quote} So the only person who can possibly know the whole truth is God?
Yes, if you believe in God, and I do. Not talking about complicated subjects -- just everyday truths and lies. History is very subjective -- we are still learning facts of events that happened thousands of years ago. Historians do have a way of getting at the truth, given time.

One of the ways the left is destroying our country is convincing people that the truth isn't important. The media used to laugh at how well Bill Clinton could lie and get away with it. It has had it's effect. I taught my children and now my grandchildren that your word is your bond and what you do when no one is looking is who you really are. That being said, I believe all the regulars here feel the same way I do. You treat and do to others the way you like being treated.

There are many "indigenous" British (you mean white) who are on benefits, bleeding the system and breeding like rabbits. There are also many non-indigenous British (non white) who are pillars of society and high rate taxpayers. It is not about colour.

{quote} I find myself agreeing with nearly all of your posts, I disagree with this one. It's simply wrong. Fannie and Freddy did not begin the lending in subprime mortgages, that started at the big banks. You can see that privately issued mortgages (red line), i.e. those that came from big banks gobbled up Fannie and Freddie's market shares during the peak years of the housing bubble : http://econlog.econlib.org/Jones/FannieFreddieRit.JPG The default rate of loans made per year was highest for 2006 issued mortgages, followed by 2007 issued...
Not going to disagree as you seem well versed and I haven't done a lot of research on it. Basing my post on some of the stuff I know to be fact -- Bill Clinton leaned on Janet Reno to force banks to make loans they wouldn't normally make. I assumed those were through freddie & fanny. I am a builder, broker, developer (simi-retired, that is) and I have always been amazed that someone could buy a home with nothing down -- they got no skin in the game. Only exceptions I approved of was the veteran's programs. You probably remember the TV adds of few years ago that you could re-mortgage and actually get a 110% loan. Knew we were in trouble. Bammer continued the program by running money through the agriculture dept. Still going on.

Absolutely its not about colour, which is why I never mention it - it's about culture.

I don't have any problems with Pakistani's but I don't want my granddaughter to be the only christian in her class. And if I wanted to live in Pakistan I could go there but I don't

I agree there are lots of white English who shame us but it's limited, unlike immigration, which seems to be infinite.

We're already a minority in London, IMHO it won't be long before we are a minority in the whole country.

I thought MAG was referring to the first batch of offspring from the first wave of immigrants of the new era, IE: Adult children of immigrants who haven't done a tap since they have been here and now expect full entitlement without any input by themselves or their parents.

Thats why I like Trump - I think he's a bit like Thatcher, what you see is what you get, you may not like it but at least they have principles.
Edit - Add JRM to that
Not sure I believe in God per se but I do believe in Jesus - just not the Jesus that everyone thinks he was.

It's nuts, and they talk about leverage in stocks being too high when you could get a mortgage with 5% down payment lol!

The libs use the carrot of 'free' stuff to buy votes, happens in the UK, happens in the USA.

I have some money in F&F, so maybe I'm biased and read with that in mind. I think the US gov under Obama broke numerous laws, if it was a private actor doing some of these things they would be in jail imo.

The British brought much more good than bad to peoples they conquered. One of the reasons the US did so well is the British influence in our constitution and law. We have always been joined at the hip. Just look at the African continent to see what the locals did with extremely successful governments they took over.

It's a characteristic for colonial countries to attempt to expunge all aspects of the coloniser (British in the cases I'm aware of) only to find out decades later that the British were successful because their ways and methods of organising government and the economy worked.

India and Kenya are an example, Ireland too though Ireland wasn't quite a colony, it was an integral part of the UK.

It's my view that the British are far closer culturally to the Americans, the Canadians, the Australians etc than the Europeans, for obvious reasons.

Our major trading partners issue frequent statements regarding their own free-trade bona fides, but do they practice what they preach? Or are they protectionists dressed in free-market clothing?
