General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

You specifically started out saying that you didn't want qualified Indians in positions that the UK needs and tried to support this racist view by quoting GDP figures.
Imagine someone said the same about, oh I don't know, Irish people. Imagine they said Irish qualified nurses shouldn't be allowed to work in the UK because Ireland is a tax haven? Do you hear how daft and racist that is? Yet you can't see how daft and racist you sound when you talk about Indians?
Are you really this bitter about foreigners?
