Just watched news at one the troubles and woes unfortunately world wide. China, India, Greece, most of Europe. Finance, Banking, Trade and all the social problems, immigration problems, some of which the UK has never seen. Our country embraces all, doing so has its problems. Without so many legal immigrants, European or Asian and others our NHS and others would be very much worse off or in some cases not exist. The illegal is another problem shared throughout the world including Turkey.
Hope you don't mind Highlander but your words describe our feelings too.
