Spain Invaded By Economic Migrants.

Never mind the supposed shortages we have been told may happen if we come out of Europe, if we can prevent this happening to our country it will be well worth it.

It simply means a mass of them turning up, Zacs.

//I thought an ‘invasion’ kinda meant that the ‘invaders’ were hell bent on taking over the country being ‘invaded’. Am I now to believe it just means that ‘invasion’ means the use of one country to gain access to another?//

You are "now to believe" that it can mean both of those things. Germany "invaded" neutral Belgium in order to get to France. It was a hostile act directed at two countries and the casus belli of WWI, wasn't it?

"We shall fight on the beaches,
We shall fight on the landing grounds,
We will never surrender"....

Oh if we had such a person as the late, great, Winston Churchill now?

But you have a latter day Chamberlain waving her bit of 'Chequers deal' paper ?

Well he didn't last long before Winnie took the helm, so there is hope for us at least.

What's the predominant view of the PC lefty snowflakes on here who often berate me for my opinions on these invaders?

[Zacs-Master]

‘You are "now to believe" that it can mean both of those things‘

It has only started to mean that to a certain group of people who want to exaggerate a situation to their own ends. I’ll believe what I want, Vestry. And it ain’t that.

The situation needs no exaggeration, Zacs.

The numbers arriving illegally and uninvited in various parts of mainland Europe has reached Biblical proportions. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of them spread across the continent. As I said earlier, an "invasion" does not have to be military or sudden. It can be conducted by civilians and prolonged. One definition:

"when a large number of people or things come to a place in an annoying and unwanted way"

There's no doubt that large numbers of people are involved. There's little doubt that it is unwanted and annoying to many. But call it what you like (if you must). The governments who fail to address this problem whilst sitting on their hands are sewing the seeds of a very nasty future indeed.

Enoch Powell's ""the River Tiber foaming with much blood" is obviously a metaphor; however, I think we get the gist of what he predicting.

How did the African tribes, welcome their European invaders?

Perhaps we should welcome the Africans the same?

It's not so bad actually, depends where you live in Spain. For example I live in Marbella and due to the fact that properties for sale are not the cheapest (you can check with local Tranio or similar) poor migrants don't come here ))) Either it's people with money or it's people with a good idea of business. Survives the strongest...
