Ake, I think your last post is a long way beneath your intellect

the Asians have no intention of integrating with the indigenous Glasgow people

Define your "integration". Do you want a Muslim to start drinking alcolhol or if, a woman, to start getting her tits out for the lads on a Friday night? A presbyterian or baptist Christian (both churches prevalent in Scotland) would be a lot closer to the Muslims in their views of society than many secular scots. So why do have to single out Muslims for some extraordinary expectation that they should have to become a brown-skinned facsimile of a working-class white folk? Do you not see that your mind is running on a set of racist preconceptions?

So one builder got a load of cheap Poles to bugger up a job. What about the crap English that have buggering up jobs in greater numbers for a longer time. In the last year I've had my car repaired after an accident, new fences put in and trees cut back, and the whole house decorated...by Poles...and compared to *some* of the crap British contractors I've endured over the years, they've all been a bloody breath of fresh air.

Again we see your preconceptions. To you there just has to be one "bad" Pole, Muslim, African etc etc and you think you've got "the lot of them worked out". We all know there are crap builders all over the world. I have found - as have a lot of people - that Eastern Europeans have skills and work ethics that are lacking in this country; that's why they have come here and that's why they have been largely succesful here.

By the way, you said that a private employer employed these Poles through a private agency and they took public transport to work. What on earth was your point about public subsidy? What...fare-paying foreigners should be excluded from public transport. Ake, are you taking us back to southern USA apartheid now?
