Seems to be the hot topic these days and everyone’s on about it but what exactly is it?  We all seem to think we have it, but can anyone define it?  I’ll have a go when I’m felling a bit wordy (and less pissed Laughing )

Britain has a fantastic history of cultural integration, after all, there is no such thing as a true English person!!  A true Briton is the celts, of wich we all were once!  

Britain welcomes those  that come here  with a view to settling, working and INTEGRATING into the british way of life.  I feel that the majority of people don't mind the immigration, it's the total lack of control showed by our useless idiots of a governement that people are pissed off with.  no control who's coming here and even if their legal and thier whereabouts once they are here!!

Disgusting stuff...though it probably beats black pudding.
