The Portuguese are "stupid, lazy and poor, like Pakistanis". I can't believe this is going out on British TV.
Indians are the best - "dead brainy, and least burden on public services", along with Americans.Last edited by GreenerGrass; 1 October 2007, 20:19. -
Not rocket science but surely the usefulness of any potential migrant (in the absense of a system to properly evaluate the individual that is) is fairly well indicated by the nature of the society they come from. People make their societies and societies shape their people.

maybe they should compare legality of arrival with stress on the system? If the immigrants follow the rules IMHO they are more likely to be the kind of people we need. If they lie & cheat to get in whats to stop them continuing?
Nothing to do with race.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

The wife deals with Banladeshis all day long. They are her worst "customers", they don't want to pay for anything. And they are the worst abusers of the immigration system.
Pakistanis are mainly from the north, which is the poorest most illiterate part. Which I think was by design. But I think the nature of Islamic teaching in the area which discourages science, math etc.. has played a strong part.
India got all the educational system at partition and that has contributed much. Hinduism has always been about working hard anyway, which has brought the success and attitude you see.
Too late to kick anybody out now. One could argue that considering the sh*t way the British Raj was to them, Britian is now getting its comeuppance.
Can't say much about the rest...as didn't watch the programme.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
