I'm a total Brit girl and also happen to be Japanese by heritage and I have a Caucasian boyfriend. We aren't having racist issues although the BNP is really active at promoting "white rights" but we haven't felt much effect. We have maybe millions of Indian, Pakistani, Africans, Chinese, Japanese...the UK seems to be a melting pot of the world and seeing bi-racial couples here is a common and everyday sight. Most of our Aisan population came here because the grass IS greener than in their countrys. Japan is no doubt as rich and prosperous as the UK and has its own "greener grass" and probably has its share of imigrants coming in due to that, I don't see that many people pining away for their lost country of origin here, I see them sending for their families to come join us here so what's this bollocks all about? Please don't take this the wrong way cause I'm not talking in anger its just that, I get sort of intense when I talk...er...type so, can you sort of see what I'm trying to say or am I really way off base somehow?

talking about us being rich and prosperous. Maybe thats true for some but most of are are anything but rich------------ and with the current cuts things will get even harder.
everything costs a fortune-- House prices were obscene-- many wages cannot cover the cost of mortgages.
Our current government are making so many cuts---------- which will damage people from all walks of life.
After the war-- the average weeks pay was £10 a week if you were lucky.
I think its hard for young people--how do they get a foot on the ladder.
I would say this is a very EXpensive country to live in
