  Sue
  I worked as an Immigration Officer in the early 70's through to the late 90's and prior to that worked in Immigration appeals at Manchester Hearing Rooms and as a Visa Attache (overseas).So I doubt there is anything that you could tell me about immigration that I don't already know..but I am always willing to listen.
  
  My father was a Polish WW2 Air forceman who came here in 1941 and worked hard all his life.My wife is from the Philippines and works as a Deputy Care Manager in a residential home.So we are a mixed race family.
  
  I remember the abuse we suffered at school and elsewhere from having a non 'English' Dad but to the best of my ability and memory he worked through into his seventies as there were no other qualified or willing Brits able to do his work(draughtsman engineer for an oil well company)My wife worked in Dover where the English girls had adopted a different work ethic to those she was normally used to..ie bone bloody idle who had no respect for the residents or their employer.
  
  Maybe a few 'immigrant' teachers may teach the next generation a thing or two about manners and earning a crust rather than being sat on their arses all day watching daytime tv or dreaming of becoming the next Jane Goody type big brother personality.
  
  As for the Mail I wouldn't wrap my chips in it or wipe my **** with it.
