Gib, I have not yet seen any mention of Enoch Powell's 'rivers of blood' thoughts on immigration into Britain. It's true that it is not exactly a river, but there is more than a spot or two of blood and quite some disruption to ye olde British way of life. I wonder if Japan will succumb to the foolish idea that more people is good and lots more is better, in which case Bangladesh should be rating quite highly, yet isn't. Quality, not quantity is what matters. Luxembourg is small, pleasant and wealthy. I wonder when conflicting cultures will be recognized as the source of the problem and Enoch Powell's writings will be revisited with hindsight. I remember in 1974 how the British queue and manners were dissolving. Queues would form for a bus, then the bus would arrive and the crowd, led by immigrants, would break and run to be first on [or, not left off]. The City Line with a very high ratio of city gents with lethal umbrellas retained the queuing system until 1986 at least, when I joined the queues. Perhaps it still does. Rivers of blood. Enoch Powell. Google would have the goods. Mqurice
