Our visas are "Non-Immigrant". .............. and we have to meet strict financial and reporting criteria to be granted that non-immigrant status. Oh my goodness, what a good idea for a new starting point for UK Immigration criteria. Link to comment

shirtless Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 What the Pc brigade dont understand is if you disagree with the immigration policies of the EU or your own government , does not make you a racist, but they will scream that just to shut down any logical argument . Link to comment

Political correctness is by nature orwellian and has its roots in Marxism Link to comment
freebornjohn Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Political correctness is the substitution of an attitude for an ideology. As far as I am aware it has nothing to do with Marxism, although I will concede this point if someone can quote from the writings of Karl Marx to prove me wrong. In the meantime, as a refugee from Margaret Thatcher and her despicable creed, I will wear my pin with pride. Edited July 1, 2016 by freebornjohn Link to comment

In so much as you have grasped the idea that all migrants are not sponging off the state - yes that's an improvement. That you accept being a migrant is another step forward. If we can move you along to grasping the idea that the right to respect and dignity you expect for yourself is due to others we'll have made real progress. Link to comment
