ake - are you really blaming immigrants for 2 wasted generations of glaswegians? i'd say there have been several wasted generations in all the less successful parts of the uk - and all over the world. poverty, and all the problems it causes are not caused by immigration -it's capitalism.
it's very simple really. a socialist would understand it instinctively, a communist would know it, if nothing else. a liberal would want to help (a few ) immigrants while excusing the capitalists. only a racist would blame foreigners for all our problems.

big al - call me pedantic but 'i see clearly what you're saying ake. the bottom of society is very bad for poor people in england' -isnae right, pal. he was writing about the glasgow area, still in scotland!
