    Very interesting and truthy. Gets a green.
    Same with America, built on practically slave labor from Mexico and before that real slave labor from Africa , yet ....

    BLOWBACK

    So are you suggesting that because some undevelped countries were colonised hundreds of years ago this makes illegal immigration, law breaking and demanding free housing etc OK? As for slave labor from Africa I thought one of their lot was president now! There are bad things which happened to every country by others in the past, but all these apologies and hand wringing about these days are just excuses. Legal immigration by people willing to integrate has always been a good thing, America was built on it. But illegal immigration by the poor and unskilled is a great social burden, especially in EU countries and the UK in particular where many only sneek their way in for free benefits, health care and education. Africans have all got the independence they wanted and fought for, now let them get on with it without blaming colonisation for their evident failures, and without lying and smuggling their way into Europe.
    Colonized hundreds of years ago correct, but their resources are still being drained for the west in many areas to this day. WTO being a big issue.

    How narrow minded can you get?
    You bullied, you laughed, you lied, you lost!

    Colonisation left behind infrastructure. Physical in systems of roads and railways and legal and education systems. It wasn't all bad.
    And how many of todays descendants of the slaves really would rather it never happened?
    The'd be living in the congo now.

    That's up to their governments, isn't it?

    Anyway, colonisation of Africa was the best thing that ever happened to them. Not our fault they didn't learn from it.

    No, not necessarily. the ITO and now WTO is well known for promising good things in return to the country it drains only to leave it behind in the shit.

    It's also well know for the west to deliberately cripple a country financially, to then rescue it with the WTO through loans only to drain it of valuable resources.

    Control of another country is not done just by foot soldiers.

    If it's well known can you give us three examples, or is that being a bit 'narrow minded' of me to ask? I don't know what a lot of blacks in the west have to complain of, if not for slavery they would be living in a mud hut or a tin shack in a country where they might complain about being robbed by the west, while their rulers are the biggest robbers of all.

    Gypsies can get their passports in the EU country they were born in.

    Problem is not so much that they don't get them, it's that they don't apply for them because they think the Europe of now is still the Europe of the 19 hundreds.

    When someone tell them to move maybe they will listen the next time.

    What else were they to do, ask them over and over, "please move now lady, please" drag them and drag them they did.

    What I saw was not to over the top, think how the police would treat them in their own country.

    Bang Bang....
