Just my opinion, and I can only talk about over here in England, and I’ll hold my hand up and be as guilty as others when it comes to this....

*** The following applies to the stubborn older generation of migrants. ***
Whilst I don’t condone violence , and can never understand why the human race can be so hurtful to others, the one thing I feel offended by are the masses that have migrated to our little island, refuse to speak ( or even attempt to learn ) our language .. ( at least that way we could at least try to at least communicate ) and then they practice their homelands ways ( religion etc.. ).

If they feel so strongly and won’t adopt our way of living ,I feel they should return to their homelands.

Does this apply to all the Brits living on the Costas many of whom make no effort to learn Spanish- lo se por que tenia una casa en espanol muchas anos pasado. Unfortunately my keyboard doesn’t allow me to put in the correct accents but it’s near enough.

English enclaves who, as you say, make no attempt to learn the language, eat the food or assimilate into the culture. Maybe Brexit means they'll be thrown out.

And solves nothing. All you have is opinions of which some agree and some disagree 50s. That’s all we have, all the opinions are about who’s right and who’s wrong and of course there no end to it.

But that is the essence of debate and of this site .It would be very boring,unproductive and a bit of a waste of time if we all just agreed with each other.

The point of discussion and debate is to air all opinions and then conclude which you think is right preferably starting with an open mind or at least being prepared to change your mind if another view is sufficiently convincing.

Sometimes for the great majority there is no clear right or wrong with many different opinions but sometimes there is and balanced well reasoned debate helps many of us to get there.

Yep. Coupled with stereotyping - this group are all lazy; this group are all fanatics; this group are all benefit scroungers, after my hard earned money. That sort of thinking.

And then along comes covid19 and shows, for instance, just how reliant the NHS is on immigrants and foreigners. And yet some still cling to the “they’re all queuing up to cross the channel” narrative.

The NHS is quote has become very tired now. The majority of adult people of all generations in this country were already aware of the reliance on foreign medical staff long before COVID-19. It is now just an argument to be used by those who favour open borders.
