I agree, I think foreigners should be sent back to where they came from, I don't like to see lazy, sponges, poncing off our ridiculous benefit systems, and end up in a 3 bedrom semi-detached house and have it all payed for them. But its not their fault, if I were them I'd do exactly the same, they just have to think right, we're in a bit of a pickle in our own country, I know UK's got a lovely old benefit scheme, lets ponce off them. Britians changing for the worse now, and I also don't like to see foreign Religions overpowering us. This is meant to be a Christian country yet we have to back down when Muslim or another outside religion doesn't like the way we do things, they need to be put to a stop for the better, and keep this country british, or it could end up in tears.

I'd get rid of racists


Twinkle
No, just the ones who don't want to adapt to the English way of life, the ones who can't be bothered to learn the language, the ones who don't want to work and are freeloading. But then I'd get rid of all the English freeloaders too...!

There are good and bad in all races, cultures etc. I've met some very, very nice foreigners in the UK. AS long as anyone is prepared to work for what they have then they're okay with me!

Problem is, define foreigner! We are a proud mongrel race! If I wished every foreigner out of the UK, yes I'd get rid of some very obnoxious people but also people I respect and admire!!

One should never generalise!


amri
hand on heart......no......i'm born and bred in Scotland....and my answer ....simply is no........
OK...i understand about your daughter....my parents waited 36 yrs for a house of their own from the council.....i will not....and can not blame anyone for that situation.....
not the foreigners....as you wish to call them......
maybe if our government....stopped going out for lunches that cost around £25,000 ......we could afford to help the people of OUR country.....
we are a world.....a nation......if something happened in our country......and we had too flee........would you like another society to make us feel like outcasts....
i live and work in Scotland....we have a huge polish culture....and guess what.......they work.......
too many of us sit back....and are willing to live of benefits......
these..."foreigners"....are working....and paying taxes.....


Rodric N
What you mean like the age old english invaders (Welshy see). Stupid bloody question. No ones really from anywhere and no ones really a foreigner. The more the merrier i say


Will
Starting with the Picts, the Celts, the Romans, the Angles, the Saxxons, the Scots, and the Vikings??

If you look at the history of the UK I think you'll find we're all foreigners.

I think I'll keep all the foreigners and just evict you!!

only the one's that are here for a free ride, those working are welcome to stay.

To be 100% honest, i wouldnt.

Trust me when i say that i would love to kick out all the hate filled foreigners that despise our great country and just come here for a free ride

But i genually believe that 90% of foreigners are just like us, looking for good life, with no hassles.

I say
scammers, freeloaders and haters - Piss off
Hard working, freindly, decent people - Stay


CLAIRE
not me, some "foreigners" are here for legitimate reasons. Now if you mean shonky asylum seekers and illegal immigrants then perhaps i would reconsider.


Rachel
id get rid of you if you were living in my country so i see your point


scragatag
No id get rid of all the spongers who can get a job and pay taxes.


Ginny Jin
Rating
Not me. I'm planning to marry a non-British person.

Edit - I'm sorry to say this but I think you are making a huge generalisation. Not all foreign people are 'spongers'. Please back up your comments with some real evidence. I believe you are asking this question simply to get a reaction.

Define "foreigner". Not born here? Came here within the past 10 years?

I for one, am rather partial to curry, chinese, thai etc etc.

No, not at all.

Can YOU define a true brit..........!

no such thing....!


Annie
Hand on heart no, but some and some true brits what ever they are. I like England to be like England afternoon tea etc.


Julie
By get rid,I wouldnt want any one to come to harm but i do think we are becoming over run but then again a lot of them are Doctors and do very important work so i think i would say get rid of all the ones that are doing nothing important.

not me some of the foreigners are good for us


fafandloo
Hand on my heart id rather get rid of all the dirty pervs instead , foreigners dont bother me.everybody has to live somewere .


claire
i would get rid of the scroungers who come here with no intention of working and come purley to sponge off the Government handouts, i do not think they should be given ANY kind of income support, NHS treatment, fee housing etc. see how many would want to come live here then without all the handouts they KNOW they will get!!!

Why dont you move somewhere else if it bothers you so much. Anyhow why not start researching your own family tree and when you find out that one of your relatives is not from England will you throw yourself out? You're an Ignorant Muppet!

Dont you love it when people ask questions like this, fill it with hate and abuse about others then ironically claim I'm not a racist.........go and research the term racist, stop reading the Daily Mail and appreciate what you have.

you mean: the Americans? the Indians? Commonwealth, baby

Not everyone but a lot of them. Cos some of them are good. Doctors, Dentists etc.

For one I would not want to get rid of anyone..apart from maybe the racists and bigots of this land.

Diversity is great, I have friends from many different backgrounds with a wide range of ethnicity.. all of whom I value as friends and enrich my life.


Dolly Blue

No I wouldn't, I enjoy the diversity, that's why I have problems with illegal immigrants, I don't want the balance we have spoilt !!!

Ha, no chance. I like to have "foreigners" in the UK, they support our economy and make life more interesting. Lets not also forget that every single person in the UK is in someway foreign, think about it, we have been invaded by the Romans, Saxons, Vikings, THE FRENCH and there have been millions of immigrants in the past.
We only have problems with immigrants when they choose not to integrate, i.e. they make their own little nation inside ours. When they segregate themselves, that is when the problems of racism, etc, start.
No, I would not chuck all the immigrants out of the UK, but I would force them to integrate.

not i,we are all from the same 'melting pot',our ancestors may have come from another land,yours too,the whole world belongs to every body no matter where you started off,so get off your 'high horse',fool.


Yah-Who?
If all the "foreigners" did leave the UK, I fail to see any benefits that we as a Nation would reap.
We would lose out on billions to the economy. Many jobs would be simply not filled. For example, many NHS dentists now rely on EU trained dentists to fill the huge gap.
Maybe their should be some form of tighter immigration control, many of the true numbers are not being accounted for. this is unfair on the tax payer.
But to get rid of them all, even half would cause major holes in the economy.

no....... where would it all stop ?!? pretty much all British residents are descendants of people from other countries.... going back a couple of hundred of years, my family came from Denmark... does that mean that i should go to a country i wasn't born in, and that i don't speak the language for ?!?

the only thing i will say is that i think that immigration laws in this day and age need to be tighter... i think more should be done to integrate immigrants into our society... if they want to live in Britain, then they should learn the language and customs of this country.

Here's a thought why not rid the nation of the work shy dole spongers with a troupe of kids to drain the national coffers ,and that should free up some housing too.
