I often say if you are born in Britain you have won the lottery of life (and if it's in Luton / it's like winning on a roll over week). That's why I respect immigrants so much they choose to come to Great Britain where the "locals" are here just by luck of birth.
Any ex-pat who "leaves" Britain for good should have to surrender their passport (you can't be half pregnant) and lets give it to an immigrant who appreciates Britain and chooses to live here rather than all our ex-pat quislings who abandon ship, slag of Britain and then sneak back in 3-10 years later and then prattle on about how much they missed the UK and are glad to be back.

LONDON IS THE CAPITAL ..... OF THE "LOTTERY OF LIFE"
WHEN COMPANY DIRECTORS OF YE OLDE LONDONE TOWNE GET MAD
A company director killed his neighbour’s dog with a garden hoe after warning her that he intended to make her life a misery, a court has been told.
Neville Hill, 48, fell out with Tricia Wales, 60, who lived next door in Yapton, near Arundel, West Sussex, after he complained about her dogs barking and leaving a mess in his lawn.
Relations deteriorated even further when Mr Hill placed a locked gate at the bottom of the garden preventing her from using the shortcut to empty her bins, the court heard. He allegedly warned her that he intended to become the “neighbour from hell”.
Mr Hill appeared before Chichester Magistrates Court in a private prosecution brought by his neighbour. He denies one charge of criminal damage.
He has admitted striking Wurzel, Miss Wales’ five year old border terrier, with the hoe after it strayed onto his property in September last year. However, he denies that he meant to kill the dog....
Miss Wales said she threatened to take him to court if he did not provide her with a key, “at which point he went completely out of control and threw the deeds down”.
“He said, ’you’re going to regret this. I’m going to be the neighbour from hell. I’m going to make your life a misery’.”

Builder jailed for killing walker
A 21-year-old labourer has been jailed for six years for killing a dog walker in a row at a bus stop.
Alec Pearn used a 3ft piece of wood to batter 66-year-old Peter Seaman, who had asked him to move his feet which were blocking the pavement.
Mr Seaman died from a fractured skull after the attack in Dobwalls, Cornwall on 7 August 2008.
Pearn, from Looe in Cornwall, was found guilty at Truro Crown Court of manslaughter and cleared of murder.
The court heard that Pearn had been waiting at the bus stop for his father, Andrew.
Retired plumber Mr Seaman was walking his dog, Gem, when he came across Pearn sitting with his legs across the pavement.

London is a cesspit.
It's the biggest con on the entire planet, the entire place is a dump, the people are offensive and it's the home of the tos*ers that are 'The City Bankers' It also has many many stabbings, violence and general crime.
Why the Olympics is held in London is a mystery, real Englishman are not Londoners anymore.
London is for the rich and foreign.
The Olympics should be held in the North and the Midlands.
According to the English press, the only thing noteworthy in England is south of the Watford gap.

IN LONDON TOWNE, NO LOVE FOR YOU, ACTUALLY
FROM THE IMDB LOVE ACTUALLY FORUM
For me, one of the most telling facts, that shows that London is but is no longer the London that it was, is something that occurred after the London rail and bus bombings.
Thousands of Londoners who usually commuted, walked out of the City/commercial centres. From all reports, these people were determined to show that the cheerful, resilient nature of Londoners had not changed, since the Blitz.
...
However, other attitudes had changed. As the tired thirsty people were to discover. There were a number of hotels and shops along the way who capitalised on the disaster by putting up the prices of drinks.
This is, I suppose, a small thing compared with the ghastly statistics of teenagers knifing each other. But that such a thing should happen in the London that I love is almost beyond my comprehension. It shows a callousness, a greed, a lack of human kindness. Not in the depraved, or in the deprived. But in the ordinary, supposedly-decent "shopkeepers" who epitomise the English.

2007 STUDY SHOWS MANY LONDON AND ENGLISH KIDS CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH
FROM THE TELEGRAPH
Primary school pupils slipped from third in 2001 to 19th last year in the authoritative study of 45 countries and provinces. Only the results of Morocco and Romania fell more sharply.
The study comes weeks after a report by Cambridge University labelled Labour's £500 million literacy strategy a waste of money, as reading skills were no better than during the 1950s.
Researchers gave 4,000 children in 40 countries a literacy test. According to a report, Russian children came top with an average score of 565, compared with England's 539.
The results showed England's score had dropped 13 points since 2001. It placed England 19th, although an alternative league table - eliminating Canada, where provinces with different languages are listed separately - put the country 15th.
