Well, for example, you could start by reading about the two and half million Indians who took part on the Allied side in World War II.

Indian personnel received 4,000 awards for gallantry, and 31 VCs.

I salute their bravery.

"And why would anyone want to go to the Notting Hill carnival anyway if you weren't West Indian "

You give the impression that you have had a very sheltered life. Do you think that only West Indians bought the music of Bob Marley?

Not everyone is as insular as you appear to be. People from all walks of life enjoy the experience of Carnival.

Without the commonwealth troops we would have lost everything...bugger we did anyway those damned Americans.

Still doesn't mean that opening the gates to unending immigration is/was the right thing to do.

Ive employed polish before brits - the work etic over here stinks as we are so used to going to the brew and getting handouts..... we think the country owes us a living. Like fuck it does.

I hada pole turn up every day through the really bad snow we had a few years ago - every day he walked as there was no transport and wed a guy who didnt as he couldnt get out his drive. Yeah really ? did he no think about walking up to the street and getting a bus or dare I say it actually walk in to work....? did he feck.

anyways hes now out of the business, the pole he got a bonus at the end of the month, was able to afford to pay him more as the lazy bastard that stayed in and watched jeremmy kyle didnt get paid that couple of weeks....
