I was listening to an NPR station on my trip to Red Bluff yesterday. You know, one of those left wing socialist commy programs...and the subject was immigration and how it was creating a real problem among the tax payers. Blah, blah, blah...The only thing that grabbed my attention was the accent of those being interviewed. All were decidedly British! Good Show and all that! It was very odd to hear the same low level insults concerning immigrants in a "British" voice. Didja know that England is the most crowded of European nations? And that they have 12 times more people per square mile than we do?
The consensus, as far as I could tell...was that there were three classes of immigrant and the welcome mat was out for only one; the highly skilled worker. All others need not apply and should return home, forthwith!
Yes, it's exactly the same as here. Is that comforting?
