UK immigration laws are just as painful to deal with as US ones. There is zero chance of any of them making it over here to stay unless they find someone to marry them.

I've heard of a few stars actually moving out of the US. Most common is CA to the UK. That's a good think, it cuts down on the CA tax base and increases the UK tax base.

They have enough money so that reality won't hit up the side of the head.

I’ve heard mention of moves to the countries you might expect, that is the UK, France, Spain, and Italy. But for some reason I’ve also seen Albania pop up (???), and I’d love to hear the reasoning behind that.

Albania is off the beaten path, probably a cheaper cost of living than New York or CA. I hope they learn the language.

Yeah, they’re not really that fluent in English in general, and it’s not an overly easy language to learn. To just mention one of many reasons Albania would not be at the top of my list of places to move to.

The nasty side of me is wondering what they're hoping to get away with if they toss enough cash around.

....Oh, they are NOT fond of outlanders in Albania. Keep your mouth shut and behave yourself, and they'll leave you alone.

But that's a standard these folks might not be able to meet.

Mike, I think the US is only country that tolerates outlanders showing up and chiming in on how things should be run.

Jem,

True that . On the other hand, that's how most of our families got here in the first place. ;)

Mike, I'm having a problem that before they show up demand to be let in. I have problem when they get here and get a handout, they complain about
it.

I don't like due to immutable characteristics, people claim we can't hold them to any standards or complain on how they do their jobs, including jobs we pay their salary.

You should try living here!!!

Look. Here’s an illegal immigrant swearing at the camera crew before going off to claim his free food, housing, healthcare and spending money.

Ahahahahahaha, REALLY? One of the reasons the USA keeps rubbing a large part of the world the wrong way is that you do little else BUT tell others how to run things.

You have apparently also never seen US tourists abroad mouthing off about how things should be run and how everybody should cater to them with the eyes of a native…

The double standard is incredible.

If he’s an illegal immigrant, he’s going to be really disappointed. Cause he’ll get zip. If he’s an asylum seeker he’ll not exactly get a fortune either.



Can I also just add that suggesting that there are actual Marxists in the Labour Party was a great joke. I did laugh a lot. Though, why wasn’t it in the jokes thread?

I think a reasonable argument could be made for Dianne Abbott and, until the whip was withdrawn on 23rd July, John McDonnell. There are possibly other MPs who might even self describe themselves as such within the Socialist Campaign Group, but there isn't clear information on that. Given the increase in the party membership during the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn did include a lot of former members and younger radicals, and that this group hasn't yet completely gone away (as evidenced by party membership figures), then it is quite likely that there are Marxists among the rank and file membership of Labour.

As such, I don't believe that the idea that there are actual Marxists among the members of the Labour Party is that silly of a concept to the extent of being pooh-poohed as laughable.

We have declared Marxists over here, why wouldn’t they be over there?
