Foreign Hordes?

What is it about the British & xenophobia? We seem to be obsessed with the 'hundreds of thousands' of immigrants who are: taking our jobs (ie those no British person wants to do or is qualified to do - or can be bothered to get qualified for); taking our homes (despite the fact that we're also obsessed with getting our house prices to rise rapidly, and everyone seems intent on buying two or three houses for holidays, retirement, etc); and horror of horrors - destroying our culture. But then no one knows what British culture is - apart from spending the entire weekend getting smashed out of our minds on alcohol and then fighting in the streets. Am I the only person who loves diversity, enjoys the variety of people I see in the streets and on the tube, is grateful to have interesting conversations about other countries and cultures. I'm quite often the only white man at social events - does this bother me? Not at all. Lets get a grip here - Britain has always benefitted from a wide variety of peoples populating this country. It makes us what we are.
