Don't be modest, you guys have the best infrastructure, great weather, awesome national cuisine, who wouldn't wanna come there?

...holidays aside, that is.

I've been to Austria, by the way, and it's a great nation. Good beer, fantastic scenery, nice people, it's definitely somewhere I could live, if only I could be bothered to learn German.

[Poopadoop]

To be fair, and without having been to either place yet (where are the invites, bitches?), if I was an asylum seeker who found myself in Finland or Austria I would keep going too.

Especially when I can live in the UK like a king and not have to work like Ong does.

I mean it's kind of amusing how you're all mocking the idea of coming to the UK, when people are literally risking their lives to do so.

That's because you suggested that it's some kind of asylum seeker's paradise, and dismiss more plausible reasons they might want to come here, like language and family.

So you don't know either? Fair enough.

I'll say it again. Some speak French, and family is a pathway to legal migration and therefore it would be crazy to risk your life when there are much safer options.

Try again. Why are they coming here? It's not because it's a paradise here, I suspect it's because we have generous welfare for migrants.

You can say it a million times, but the French never got to E. Africa. So if by "some" you mean > 0% of the entire population, you're probably right in the same sense as saying "some" Brits speak Navajo.

Why are we talking about East Africa? I'm talking about migrants arriving in Britain from multiple countries, some of which speak French.

I just (admittedly tongue-in-cheek) mocked the idea of living in two countries that aren't the UK - why are you quoting ME here?

You went on to mention the UK, like it's preferable to Austria and Finland. It seemed to me that you were mocking the idea of migrants coming here, perhaps I misread the tone.

[OngBonga]

Fucking raw cabbage? Seriously? Wow.

[CoccoBill]

Fucking raw cabbage? Seriously? Wow.

Well yeah sort of, I guess? Fermented like pickles, kimchi, yoghurt, etc. It's good.

Our cuisine isn't as bad as outsiders seem to think. OK it's not comparable to France and Italy, but it's on a par with Germany. Our weather is actually quite great, who the fuck wants to bake in 30+ for six months of the year? And who wants European winters?

I know well, my ex lived there for a number of years, I've spent quite a bit of time in London. Never rains, the tube is always on time, and I don't even remember many blackouts or leaking pipes.

Btw fish'n chips have nothing on sauerkraut and bratwurst.

Rain is a good thing. And fish and chips is far superior to processed German meat.

Yup. I've lived here almost 20 years and it's laughable to me that anyone would consider fish and chips a "British treat." It's fucking fish and potatoes. Come on.
