Fortunately though, I have been shortlisted, so as soon as I have passed the allotted amount ...

Personally, if an immigrant can bring something to the economy, like a useful trade or something, then I don't see a problem. But the freeloading must end.
If you want an example of what a lefty government can do to waste taxpayers money, and turn a country into a slum, just look at Zimbabwe. Mugabe ...

although it was a decent game, I think England may have to up the ante next week to be in with a chance of winning.
Can't rely on Wilco for the points ALL the time.
I fear the Aussies may be gunning for him in the next game.
Need to use players like Greenwood (great game today) and Robinson more ...

I have been looking at the army. a mate of mine has just started his basic training at Lichfield, and they gave him no hassle for being foreign. (although he does get a lot of slack because of the rugby haha).

thought it was a good game, but I agree with sisyphus.
The ref didn't let the game run smoothly.
Stop. Start. Stop. Start. And very short advantages.
Hmmmm.
Looking forward to tomorrows game though.
