anyone else experienced some difficulties with them?

i go to OX quite often for business and seeing mates. had my share of trouble with them. mainly not accepting my pass and therefore insulting me for being a foreigner. virtually anywhere else in britain, no any problem at all.

it's been a mockery when one BNP lady in OX insulted me for ''taking benefits of taxpayers'', while reality is that i pay taxes in this country [and generate an income and being economically active/beneficial more than vast majority of brits] and most likely she sits on her bum, does drugs and gets benefits.

Milosh,

If that was the first ASSHOLE you have dealt with since arriving in London, I would say you are ahead in the game.

Most of us run into "that type" at least once a month, no matter where we live.

Laugh it off, my friend, there's always another just around the corner.

Mylosh How do you know she was BNP. You know on the whole we are an easy going bunch. \Perhaps you should have put her right. If people do not say, then she will not know, and conti nue in a bias way. I wish people would say, and not just shrug off, thinking they should know. spell it out.

I don't want to condone anyone's rude behaviour, but as you may have noticed, immigration of eastern European EU nationals is one of the things that our hateful press is hyping up at the minute. Truth is most come to work (and therefore pay tax) not live on benefits. There would be less opportunity for them if more of the lazy bum locals were willing to take any work available rather than live as benefit parasites.

i'm from eastern europe, but being an ''old EU member'' citizen

i agree! it's mostly brits who suck benefits. we foreigners generate this country's wealth and major of economic activity.

being an entrepreneur, the most of people i work with are foreigners too. from US & brazil to sri lanka & japan.
