To answer the question at hand first, the reason you find it difficult is that you are “FOLLOWING” the laws in place.  If you want to properly live in the UK, better have a good education, large nest egg of money and a job offer that will employee you or a company that will sponsor you. Just like anyone else trying to get into another country, and I have been to many. \n\n\nNow for a little education for FarmTruck, gailforce_wind, and tegidfoel It is difficult to see any points of view from any of your answers. \n\nTegidfoel, needs to read more about history, and not only the “tilted” view of American secondary school books.  Have you tried reading above a 5th grade level?  Now for your comment on Technology in the US, for the most part the US is in par with the major countries, yet as far as implementing much of this, the US is about 3 to 7 years behind most of the Asian rim and European countries (examples: auto engines, cell phones, TVs, most electronics and you can find we are falling behind in computers now).  China even has the safest nuclear reactor that should scare you. Hell even Canada, just might be a little farther ahead in some areas…  So when was the last time you were out of your city limits? \n\nI have lived and worked in 17 nations. \n\nReason one not to move to the UK, the cost will eat you alive. (I have lived in London, Belfast, Edinburgh, Uckfeild and Leeds off and on between 1982 to 2000, it is hard to save money) Now that is an agreement not to live there, not because you say so, sounds so very uneducated, be clear about your option and try to find a balance with you emotions.  \n\nFarmtruck is just angry about something, go get therapy.  \n\nGailforce wind – find a back bone and look for something more substantial to read other than some one like farmtruck

Because they are even more pig-headed than the British.\n\nAnd their replies to your perfectly sensible question prove it.

Its hard to afford in many areas. Are you willing to pay any price to run away from poles. \n\nDo they really bite?\n\nP.S. zobro1980 There is no Africa in London.

You Brits think that we spend any time worrying about what you think.  Whooped ya @ss one time, do it again! \n\nNo really, I would think that the common Brit would be smart enough to know that most everyone here is different.\n\nThru your question, you are implying that the entire population of your great country doesn't like the people of Argentina/ Bangladesh/ Columbia/ Denmark/ Ethiopia/ France/ Greece/ Holland/ Iraq/ Jamaica/ ...do I need to go on?  Does GB really hate the people of every nation on this planet?  Because that is who we are! \n\nLaGrange, Kentucky\nUSA\n\nP.S. Did you know Q Liz keeps here Thoroughbreds in LaGrange, KY\nLots of Ford four door dully trucks with horse trailers here. Clean air, sunshine and the smell of horse shit it the air....  Its a Brits paradise!

no not paranoid its a fact of life in this country now liberal wankers running the country.human rights my ass.the only solution is government change.i don't mean Tories remember the 80,s UK Independence a joke. only one way  and although might seem extreme is to vote for the only party that will restore law and order put a stop to the immigration shambles.and make are streets safe again.which party am i talking about well work it out.its up to you live as we do with terrorists running free,people born in Britain trying to kill us.pensioners who fought in the war who cant even afford too pay there heating bills.the rights of criminals and peodos put first.if you want these things changed you have to use your vote wisely or alternatively vote for one of the main stream parties and watch as the life's of your children get an  even worse deal than we get now.

Because you live in Britain?

Just in case noone's figured out yet, everyone in the world except for England hates us, so there's really no creating enemies; they're already there. And I'm sick of government idiots thinking we can stop terrorism by invading every country with terrorists. EVERY MIDDLE-EASTERN COUNTRY HAS TERRORISTS! There has to be another way, or we're going to end up turning the worlds oil supply (and an entire culture) into a parking lot.

As I understand it. You Brits are scared due to the terror alerts and such. I say Phu**em. Fly your Flag. Get a HUGE Flag and fly it proudly!! Don't let the bastards steal anymore from those of normal thinking and reasoning.

Unfortunatly/fortunatly the US has been so sheltered geographicly and culturaly that the bulk of the population doesn't understand the situation we're in. Consider the level of terrorist activity that exists in Europe, Asia, or Israel. Bombings in England, 3 weeks of COORDINATED rioting in France, rioting in Denmark by muslim extremists too, multiple bombings in Idonesia, Abu sayaf group in phillipines regularly beheading christian missionaries, etc etc etc. Americans being 'sheltered' haven't found the balance between national safety and freedom.\n\n"domestic" spying in this case was on groups and individuals specificly communicating with or tied to acknowledged terrorits organizations. In addition there was a documented authorization process in order to get the 'taps' in the first place. The controvesy is entirely domestic politics. The same people who are outraged by the "spying" will be the same people outraged that the gov't didn't do enough WHEN the next attack occurs on US soil.\n\nTheres a cliche saying "don't confuse the argument with facts". It's all too true. The issue is only debatable when you think with your heart instead of your head. I guess 9/11 wasn't enough to wake them up.

Because they dont want to face the truth!.........  If I was a terrorist freak, and I heard that the US was coming, I wouldnt leave them there, I would move them to a Country that is off limits to Americans, which is what happened.....duhh, honestly, the ignorance of some people is soo amazing to me....

Let's get something straight danmoorex.England or the UK never threatened anyone. But understand this the UK has been threatened many times. By the likes of bigger bullies than the cowardly rabble that attempt to threaten the British way of life now.The Brits are a hardy lot. Mess with them at your peril.Organised German,French,Spanish armies tried to master them. All failed. So don't get the idea that the Brits will allow anyone to threaten them and get away with it.\nAs for Jesus Christ, if he existed at all He was probably English.

If we don't have strict or a National Security policy in which we protect our borders ....then that leaves us vulnerable to any person immigrating into our Country with the wrong intentions or reasons for they are coming into our Country. The easier it is to get into our Country ....via our borders to the north and the south ....then the easier it is to commit terrorist acts in or on the USA.

Thats not a bad idea.  I doubt many of them would do that.  They sneak in so easily now anyway....  But it we could inforce that somehow, i'd vote for it.\n\nPeople need to stop complaining that we arent letting them in, we could be like japan and only allow a certain number in each year.

I agree, I'm from the US, but I can see the problems starting across the pond.  We were a nation based on LEGAL immigration.  UK has always been a semi-homogeneous society.  It doesn't have to be lilly-white, but I can see that the openness of Euro countries is taking a toll on national identity

you shouldn't even be in the UK if you are illegal but the system being as useless as it is it wouldn't surprise me if you would get away with it.
