Geir Starmmer’s speech this week (Starmmer accuses to pound away the language ‘Islan of strangers, 12 May), my mother-in-law went to the UK as a refugee in 1979, with his wife and eight children. Forty six years ago, he speaks almost no English. He read Chinese newspapers and watches Chinese television stations. Every four years he screamed “Jia!“(” Go for it! “) In Chinese athletes competing with the Olympics.
From the seat of a home of the Themesmead council, the family began a food business that now uses 18 people, including three of eight children. Some children went to Girmar School and became lawyers, accountants, bankers and pharmaceutical reps. My mother-in-law has conservative principles. He respected Margaret Argaret, the Prime Minister (refusal, as it was) agreed to take his family and 10,000 people in the boat. She eats grilled meat at home at our house on a sunday (however having chopsticks, and chilli sauce instead of horseradish).
I’m from Limerick, Ireland. I went to the UK to work for a large law firm. I am not saved by Merchant Navy from a sinking ship in South China Sea as before. My story is very different. I will always Irish, but the UK is my house, just like it is my mother-in-law.
He did not live in China for 70 years, but he was still the Chinese. He is also British, and a Londoner. Nationality and nationalities are complicated. My children feel British, English, Irish, Vietnamese and Chinese. It means to be “British”, “American” or “Irish” is not counted. This will continue to improve. Immigration does not lead to an “island of strangers”, rather in different, modern country. The UK forms of immigrants, and instead of this country is shaped by immigrants and their generations.
We don’t have to make this country again. We need to remember what makes Britain great.

I listen to Sir Keir Starmer Starmmer with new immigration rules. Never did I think to a Labor Prime Minister signing up to the racist trope that it is immigration that brings pressure on housing, health and other public services from foreign countries, is the backbone of those services, due to the backbone of those services, due to the backbone of those services Governments of all colors, in Education and Capacity-Building.
I look forward to the great government investment in social care to use appropriate fees and conditions for British care workers or overseas nationality. I am for a volunteer to pay a higher tax level to raise money. I am also waiting for private investment in a racing structure sector and higher and higher education for workers.
I remain skeptical of how many MPs are from any party to advise and encourage their own children to go to social care social care, job care and advance.
Meanwhile, I gave honor of British, Polish and Filipino carers who helped me and my family cared for my parents, at home and residential. A different and well worker.

Keir Starmmer’s utterance in his belief plans to reduce the net migration in many parts, but what makes me claim about the risks of an “island of strangers”.
Just a week before, my wife heard that some neighbors in our town organized a “Street party” for V aw day. Given those two immigrants moved to the UK recently, we have not experienced a street party before, other than we found it, though we didn’t know, even if we didn’t know any of that neighborhood. I’m a bit frightened about withdrawal of the left unknown, but we immediately accepted and introduced to all of the party. We continue from strangers to become neighbors in just one minute.
When we returned, my wife and I couldn’t help meditate that at home we stayed before moving to the UK, we didn’t know the name of the people who lived beside us for many years. So it is more important, to say the least, to see the Prime Minister of TV a week later in the country’s citizens like us the more “islands of strangers”.

In his immigration speaking, Sir Keir Starmer warns an “island of strangers” and “forces that pull our country”. It is true to form, his principle leans to a little of his basic opponents. But he has a point – not just the only one he thinks he does.
Anthropology and evolution psychology suggests our brain changed for close communities. Estimated Robin Dunbar We can maintain meaningful relationships with about 150 people and know up to 1,500. In modern cities, that’s why most of our neighbors will never forget. It feels unable to stop – not because of immigration, but because of how we wired.
All we need to feel at home is no more powerful immigration control, but stronger communities: local events, shared spaces and many times for connection.
To stop the “forces that separate us”, we do not need to divide “them and us” rhetoric. We need the action that unites us – friendship with variation. And if we want to qualify British people contribute to the economy, why is it more difficult for those who have done to be British? Is that a fair rule – or a good sound sound?

Sorting is not something that happens under the Cosh. It is an organic process that is inevitable to take time and requires favorable conditions where to improve. It requires courtesy and real motivation to improve. And it doesn’t happen if a part is afraid and the other enemy.
Keir Starmmer is to run the flames of confrontation. Does he have any idea of horror and fear of these remarks in our immigrant population? If his enthusiasm is to outdo the Nigel Farage, he will be destroyed by failure and a term office.

My wife is an immigrant. He also built and run a volunteer group in my local park, gathering people all aged and background. Besides, he volunteers for many staff, leading parent-school association, and learned many people in our community than I wanted. The suggestion that immigration makes us an “island of strangers” as wrong as not to offend. If the Keir Starmer is trying to try how far he can encourage labor supporters before we can no longer vote for him, then I think he knows.
