It's a form of victim culture.

There is a disadvantage to being born into certain families.....It's the luck of the draw....Socially, culturally.

By far the biggest determining factor is the wealth of the family you're born into.

I rage against the ceilings placed upon social mobility and they are there for all the working class....But strive and strive and you can break through....If you get reasonable breaks...The only thing to moan about is that it's just not an equal playing field.....And the bias is in the protection...nay insulation of wealth for those who already have it.

The richest man in Britain is Asian....I don't think skin colour holds people back as much as personal attitudes to work and effort. We have black millionaires in this country....Just not enough of them. Ghetto culture has some responsibility I feel.

Modern day Germans owe no money to Greece.....They didn't trash Greece a certain percentage of their ancestors did.....Maybe some illogical guilt association for them...But when does it stop?

However, the original settlement was a massive injustice to Greece and other countries.

America and the allies gave Germany another chance to grow into a successful economy.....Massive and I say massive debt reparations were written off.

I believe in the spirit of that German banks should forgo debts to Greece.

They gave out the money like crack dealers.....They hold responsibility for the inability to pay.

Can I get some figures which would indicate we're not doing our bit?

Of course having annual migration equating to an extra half percent of the population is minute compared to the several hundred percent of Lampedusa, but reverting to the crude reference of the country being 'full' France should be keeping them.

Let's look at why people wish to come here. Some say it's the mark of a civilised society but I doubt even the left are going with that one anymore, and no one is going to be the envy of their neighbours by housing a migrant, not even in Brighton.

Only from Wiki, and before the current influx started in earnest, but:

Country Total Per 100 000 inhabitants
Germany 22,165 27
Sweden 15,290 161
UK 14,570 23
France 14,325 22
Italy 9,270 15
Norway 6,125 123
Austria 6,000 71
Nether. 5,920 35
Belgium 5,880 53
Switz. 4,580 58
Denmark 2,105 38
Finland 1,840 34
Malta 625 348
Greece 625 1
Spain 565 1

Up to date figures would be good, but 30% less than Germany. Of course there are others doing far less.

The point is, the burden should be evenly shared across all member states, as unpalatable as that may be. If the others are also forced to take their share, who knows, maybe net immigration would actually go down?

You're not expecting to elicit any agreement on the vile nationalistic notion that we should look after 'our own' are you?

We all know our poor are only the victims when the rich are the perpetrators.

It isn't that different. Germany has a population size that's just over twenty percent larger than us.
