#1 "...itâs with the people who arrive here, who donât speak French, who donât mix, donât take part in the life of the community and who create Anglo-Saxon ghettos where they keep themselves to themselves..."

As an exercise, let's replace "Anglo-Saxon" with "Moslem" or "Arabic." Now how do you feel about them, Maiwenne?

#3 Britons in Breton, sounds like a job for the Vowel Police.

#6 When they have the same protest in Paris against their hordes of un-integrated Muslim welfare cases. I'll show some interest.

Until then, *yawn*

#7 #3. They should be so lucky,Mrs. D. "Caravan" is British for "travel trailer". But you probably already knew that. A very small European style trailer comes to mind.

Our problem is .... with the people who arrive here, who don't speak ~~our language~~ French, who don't mix, don't take part in the life of the community and who create .... ghettos where they keep .... to themselves....
Wanna trade? At least they're bringing money into the economy instead of exporting the currrency to their homeland. Have any signed up for welfare or free medical care yet?

#8 GK, Yes, I do read my son the Famous Five before bed, but the thought of a frog trailer park was just too good to ignore. Makes me wonder if they have tornados in frogland.

#9 Mrs Davis - If they don't have tornados then they will as soon as enough "caravan's" gather in one place. ;)

#11 Barbara # 6 *Yawn* I call this a real eye opener. Welfare- most do NOT choose that path in life and for some it is a volition issue. Where are all these folk's going to? Homeless Shelter's?

#12 Andrea, things are different with regard to welfare (which they call "social security") on the other side of the pond. The unemployment is so high anyway (on the order of 10% of those that are being counted) that in Germany most people do not graduate from university until they are well into their 30's, and most women never even try to hold a job. Social Security payments are enough to live comfortably -- not in subsidized poverty as in the States. Remember, too, that the Europeans are fond of their work/life [leisure] balance, which is much more tilted toward leisure, so too many are happy to join the leisured class without any effort.
