We increase by the size of Liverpool or Manchester each year?

It's the word "or" that makes me laugh most. The two cities are very different in size.

The idea that we net increase by either each year is pure nationalistic propaganda. Anything else from EDL literature you wish to repeat?

We have an ageing population and less people feel it necessary to have children, mainly through lower prosperity. Without immigration, we wither and die, as a nation. The stereotypical illegal immigrant getting benefits isn't typical either. Most who come here get jobs, pay taxes and contribute to society whilst most who begrudge them tend to be a drain on society.

When we hold a party next month for our friends, it shall as ever have three BBQs. One for general meat, one halal and one vegetarian. Why? Because of the 70 or so invited, just under half don't fit the "white Anglo Saxon" profile. Many parties and events we go to tend to be similar these days.

Time marches on and the melting pot gets richer in flavour. I leave you with the words (ish) of Spike Milligan, an Irish Cockney born in India... Whilst playing a piano in C maj, he asked the audience if it sounded nice? He agreed but said that if you change to a key that has you playing the black notes as well, it becomes richer, more melodic....

Not a bad analogy.
