I don't see why we can't have what europe has.

80mph in good weather, 70 in everything else. Works for them...why not us?

Don't get me started!

I'm not xenophobic as I do not fear them. Racist? in some way I probably am to a point, but I reckon most people are, except they refuse to admit it.

Opinions are that and everybody has one.

and todays news is that local councils plan to remove speed camera warning signs, apparently to reduce street clutter!

My wife, (a British tax payer although she isn't British citizen so can't vote) grew up in Franco's Spain, she recons the Britian is becomeing worse than Spain every was!

If one of the other parties objects to it that's who'll be getting my vote in the GE.

I can't actually believe you think most people are racist. I have worked with people from foreign countries who have arrived on these shores and in the ten years I did this and the thousands of people I met, the only people who stand out are the tiny minority of narrow minded bigots who openly admit to being racist. You can't be racist to a point, you either are or aren't; and it might be worth pointing out that some sentiments and opinions, voiced openly, can actually be illegal, you might want to consider that before voicing them. You can quote freedom of speech to me all you like, but you have no idea the effect your utterances have on those who hear them. How do you know there are no 'immigrants' reading this forum? Do you think that owning an MG is the sole right of white Anglo Saxons?

By the way, my wife and many of our friends are Polish. She, and all the others, own UK registered cars...taxed, MOTd and insured. So thanks for making her feel welcome on this forum. She wants to buy and has test driven a ZR and has also attended a meet with me before, not sure if she'll do this now or attend another meet; might be what racists want?

Signed.

And about imigrants... Im not racist, but I dont like the way in which this country deals with immigration. A lot of British citizens find themselves homeless or jobless and then I hear stories about immigrants being given free housing and such, which makes me a bit resentful I must admit.

Again, Im not racist in the least, I have a close friend who is Pakistani, but groups of extremists do give their nations a bad name, and unfortunately steriotypes do emerge, along with the fear of the unknown causing paranoia ("what if that person over there is a terrorist?")
