If these people dont want to intergtate into British society then its high time we had a " Saint back home " day.

Not wishing to seem like a BNP rant , but the vast majority of 3rd/4th/5th generation of British born Afro/Caribbean and Asians are proud to be British and proud of their roots but they too are getting a bit peed off too with these economic migrants that are flooding into Britain/Leigh and taking housing and jobs and sponging off the system and giving nothing back.

How do these citizens get to protest about this untenable situation without being afraid of being attacked by ultra right wing bigots ? they cant so they dont but they still share the same concerns as the rest of us .

Our town of Leigh is rapidly losing its identity due to this mass influx of designer clad Economic / Asylum seeking spongers , Its getting strange walking the streets of Leigh these days and it will only get worse when Turkey join the EU unless the government stop it now !

Would be interesting to hear an opinion from a Leyth born so called ethnic minority Brit about their concerns about the current situation .

Couldn't agree more.

Those that don't want to integrate need to be shown the door.

Maybe we should all be out in force waving the flag on St George's day,
When is it?

s
Its on the 23rd of April ( which is also Shakespeares birthday )



The Union Flag is made up of the 4 constituionnal countries flags England , Scotland , Northern Ireland and the Principality of Wales (hence the red diagonal cross of St David on the Union flag ) Wales only joined the Union in 1921 untill then it was a Prncipality .

History lesson over

I've no problem in targeting spongers in all their forms, but why limit it to immigrants? There are British Nationals sponging and playing the system all over the place, and in far larger numbers than non-nationals.

Not a very good history lesson!!!



The red diaganal cross is the cross of St Patrick. Because Wales is merely a Principality it does not feature on the Union Flag. St David's cross is a yellow cross on a black background.

Thanks for the date tiswallace, which I already knew,

plus I'm more into the future than the past so I've edited your post with the important bit



Get the flags out

Quite right ,

Now sit down son and listen to your elders ,

The black and gold St Davids cross came into exsistance in 1921 following acceptance of the union untill then they'd flew under the shared Celtic flag of St Pat

Wales since then has had 2 further National flags a red , white , and green tricolour with a black star and the red Dragon rampant on a white and green background as we know today

This reminds me of something that happened when my brother died. My mum took a badge off his jacket because he'd always worn it and stuck it on her fleece. It was a Union Jack, with some writing on it, too small for her to read without her glasses, but not enough words to bother about. So off she went to Asda, complete with union jack that said Asylum, off home.

Before you say owt, I dont condone the badge or it's meaning, I just find it hilarious that my mum wore it to Asda

Its only a racist act if they were doing it because of their, or your, race. More likely it was just a couple of scroats who happen to be of a different ethnic background. It's low-life scum acting true to type, but it's almost certainly nothing to do with race.

BTW, St George was the Lebanese son of a Palestinian woman and a Roman soldier. An appropriate patron for our multicultural nation to be proud of, I'd say.

The dragon is not "Rampant" it is in fact "Passant" !

The 'rampant' of course, being the lion rampant on the non-St. Andrews Scottish flag

Good post. I have nothing against anyone in this country because of where they come from ... I have a huge problem with scroats and sallies, regardless of where they come from.

As it's St George's Day (and his flag is red and white) and Leigh are on TV (and you lot are always going on about showing your colours off) surely there's a mareting opportunity in there somewhere???

(and yes, before someone tells me, I know St George's flags in Leigh will have to be [iCherry[/i and white?!

)

Very interesting...

You rip down the flag of their country(in their country) and see what happens to you!!!!

We are soft full stop.


Nanny state tis true

At last someones rumbled me taken from the

[url=http://viewtopic.php?t=381248&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90Time to show our true colours thread[/url

Not forgetting the Plantagenet (French) St.George flag, and Three Lions crest, showing our true spirit of European integration as well!!

We can`t as an England Nation fly the St George Flag irrespective of its origins but the Irish tricolor ( which has its roots from the FR ) is allowed to adorn countless pubs et al on the 17th March... Hypocracy rules supreme........

I'm flying the flag

{----------

But which one St Fred.......

I fly my St Georges flag outside my house up to England getting knocked out of whatever competition at QF stage as usual



St Georges Days, I genuinely couldn't care less. Don't even know, or want to know what it is, or when it is.

But no doubt you make an effort to partake in the odd pint of Guinness or Leek soup..........

So its like new then?


Sorry couldn't resist

Your free to fly your St Georges cross if you wish, no-ones stopping you
