they're not visiting people. they're there to get the free treatment.

how do you know they were foreigners? you are an ignorant fool for assuming that.

So because someone speaks another language they haven't paid their fair share, my friend is Russian he's been here 14 years, I speak Russian too and we speak it outdoors all the time, although I am not eastern european, we should not make this assumption up about people.

You insinuated that it is not possible to tell if someone is foreign and getting free healthcare without paying in. Through my posts I have explained how in many cases it is possible and thus how the OP could be correct in their assumptions.

You can move the goalposts and make other arguments about other people but asking me rhetoric questions about something I don't really feel that strongly about one way or the other doesn't change the explanation I gave. You obviously have a very strong opinion on this due to your other half not being from the UK, but I wonder if you would have felt differently about the situation otherwise. Not that you would admit it if you would have ;)

We all know that economic migrants from Eastern Europe walk around in a a tracksuit bottom/faux leather jacket combo and sporting a permanent five-o-clock shadow (even the women). They also smell of that dodgy Polish beer from B&M bargains and queue at the fast lane checkout in ASDA with two trolley loads of shopping.

Looks like Johnny Foreigner? Must be Johnny Foreigner.

It is not about skin colour for me its about EU members specially eastern Europeans extracting the urine and illegal immigrants and those who abuse the asylum rules

You may think I am racist you may not but my little nephew CJ is half English half Kenyan and I love him to bits

Correction: she was born in Leicester. You know what they say about assumptions right?

With all the explanations given so far you are still throwing out that line? No point discussing this any more... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

It wasn't an assumption, I am sure you posted something before about this. If I misunderstood it was a simple mistake. How about the rest of what I wrote, you seem to cherry picking the single lines you think you can argue with and ignoring the rest which shows you are wrong.

You have been told how it is possible for those living in major towns, especially London, know how to tell. They can't tell with everyone but when they know someone is foreign or recently arrived, they know.

You was told earlier. when you diverted the topic to were they wearing their "I've never worked and paid tax in the UK in my life" signs?

Read the thread, it's nothing about skin colour. Russ is just being stupid with that comment about skin colour.
