Perhaps of interest or not, but all my friends of my school years have emmigrated, they are in places such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada, countries where it is deemed they have a future, where in the UK, that is questionable, as this place does appear to be going so far down the pan, that even Asian immigrants to here are emmigrating to the aforementioned countries, which I know for sure the Aussies are not too happy about, and that they blame our lax immigration laws. But British are British, you have the points necessary, you are welcome, ideally ethnicity irrelevant, but there are always the closet racists who define based upon such notions as dissolution of cultural identity, which in Austaralia's case is a nonsense, just Like America's because their society is actualy made up of immigrants from the four corners of the world. I believe the emmiration from this country is about two million a year, but that number far exceeded by the number of emigrants into this country, but those that emigrate from here tend to be of a higher educational and employment standard wheras many of those that come in are of a lower educational and occupational standard, which to some, is we are bleeding our country dry of our future hopes and aspirations, the skills are heading overseas for better living conditions mostly. But as immigration is a sore topic, I wonder at those who are quick to deny the immigrant, would they themselves emmigrate. As to the OP, Ashjor has asked about Palestinian Refugee status, and as that has not been defined, what hope for the Palestinians with nowhere to go ? With nowhere to go, what is the desired solution, second class citizenry under an occupying power or anihilation, a slow pogram of the Palestinians, provoke and justify action and the world lets this go on, what hope any idea of the United Nations, it is a farce simple as that.
